Powerful and Efficient Performance

Every 2025 Kia Carnival is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing a robust 287 horsepower. This direct-injected Lambda III engine features hydraulic lash adjusters for smooth, quiet operation. Power is sent to the front wheels through an 8-speed automatic transmission with H-Matic shift and drive mode select, optimizing performance and efficiency in any driving situation.

With a curb weight ranging from 4,431 pounds for the LX to 4,581 pounds for the SX Prestige, the Carnival delivers responsive handling and a stable, composed ride. Fuel economy is also impressive for a minivan, with all trims rated at an EPA-estimated 18 mpg in the city, 26 mpg on the highway, and 21 mpg combined. So, whether you're commuting to work in Pawtucket or taking a weekend road trip from Attleboro, you can enjoy the perfect blend of power and efficiency.

Adaptable and Accommodating Interior

Inside its spacious cabin, the 2025 Kia Carnival offers comfortable seating for 7 with the LX trim or 8 passengers with the LXS and higher trims. The Slide-Flex seating system allows you to easily remove, fold, and rearrange the second and third rows to adapt to your cargo and passenger needs. Up to 145.1 cubic feet of cargo volume is available with all the rear seats folded down.

All trims come standard with upscale amenities like tri-zone automatic climate control, power sliding rear doors, and front/rear passenger USB charging ports. Available interior upgrades include dual power sunroofs, ambient LED lighting, and plush leather upholstery. Drivers in North Attleboro will appreciate the available memory settings for the driver's seat and outside mirrors, as well as upgrades like heated and ventilated front seats and reclining captain's chairs with leg extensions in the second row.

The 2025 Kia Carnival comes packed with intelligent technologies designed to keep you connected, entertained and safe on the road.
