1. Class-Leading Passenger and Cargo Space
Without a doubt, the spaciousness of the Carnival’s cabin is one of the top features that make this Kia SUV a fantastic choice for families. Offering three spacious rows of seating, this model is available with seating capacity for either seven or eight passengers, making it the perfect vehicle to go on long road trips.
Seven-seat Carnivals come with two captain’s chairs in the second row, while eight-passenger models feature comfortable bench seats. Both variants offer 41.1 inches of legroom in the front, 40.5 inches in the second row, and 35.6 inches in the third one. Thanks to its 60/40 split-folding seat backs, the maximum cargo volume of this full-size SUV stands at an impressive 145.1 cubic feet.
2. Responsiveness and Efficiency
All five trim levels of the new Kia Carnival come with a 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine that delivers responsive acceleration and an efficient ride. Paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain achieves 290 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Offered exclusively with front-wheel drive, this SUV boasts a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds when properly equipped, making it a great model to pull your boat or trailer and go on fantastic outdoor adventures.
While the new Carnival’s standard powertrain configuration pumps plenty of power and thrust, it maintains great fuel economy estimates for its category. All models come with a selectable eco drive mode for maximum fuel efficiency. The EPA ratings of this SUV stand at 19 miles per gallon in the city, 26 mpg on the highway, and 22 mpg combined.
3. Modern Safety and Driver-Assist Technologies
Engineered for families big and small, the new Kia Carnival offers some of the best driver-assist and safety features in the industry as standard fare. All five trim levels come with a vehicle stability management system, electronic stability control, blind-spot collision-avoidance assist with parallel exit, lane departure warning, lane following assist, driver attention warning, and rear cross-traffic collision avoidance assist.
