The 2025 Kia Carnival reimagines family travel with a high-efficiency hybrid powertrain and a sporty exterior style. At first glance, the Carnival looks like a full-size SUV with a boxy shape, but features like power sliding rear doors and configurable rear seats highlight the minivan inspiration behind this refreshed model. Check out the standard features of this MPV before visiting your Kia dealer.
Experience Family Fun in the 2025 Kia Carnival
The LXS has a powertrain designed to meet your daily travel demands with refined fuel efficiency. This vehicle has an estimated mileage of 34 MPG in the city, 31 MPG on the interstate, and 33 MPG combined. The key to the Carnival’s impressive fuel economy is the 1.6-liter turbocharged motor with a full parallel hybrid system that produces a net output of 242 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque.
The base model is equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission with a rotary shifter dial for convenient gear shifting, as well as selectable drive modes to match your powertrain output to the driving environment. This MPV can tow up to 2,500 lbs when equipped with trailer brakes or up to 1,000 lbs without trailer brakes, so hauling small campers is a breeze.
Seating
The LXS has seating space for eight passengers when all seats are in place. Like other minivans, this MPV has versatile seating features, such as second-row seats that can slide or be removed to configure the middle space of the cabin. The middle seat in the second row can slide forward or backward so that front-row and third-row riders can care for children without straining. The third-row seats have a 40/60 split-folding capability.
Front-row drivers can enjoy three-stage heated seat cushions as a standard feature. The driver’s seat has an eight-way power adjustment with a four-way lumbar adjustment, so you can select a supporting seating position to reduce driver fatigue. The standard SynTex seating material color is two-tone Off-Black and Taupe.
Technology
The base Carnival is equipped with a 12.3-inch multimedia touchscreen with an integrated navigation system. With this infotainment system, you can find detailed directions to your next destination, look at vehicle diagnostic information, and toggle your connected apps. Key entertainment options are satellite radio, wireless smartphone connectivity, and Bluetooth technology that allows multiple device connectivity.
The standard navigation system works with the Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control system. This advanced driver-assistance software uses navigation and radar data to detect upcoming curves in the road to automatically speed up or slow down the MPV while the cruise control system is still active.
Family fun is more enjoyable when the ride to your next adventure can easily accommodate all of your passengers and cargo. Learn about current deals and specials when you call Airport Kia of Naples in Naples, FL.
