2022 Kia Carnival MPV

Ben Bach
From driver assist technologies to sliding rear doors, the all-new Kia Carnival was designed to be the ultimate multi-purpose vehicle. Explore the SUV-inspired Carnival's best-in-class power, large cargo space, and wide variety of convenience features today!

Carnival is motivated by a 3.5-liter V6 engine making a best-in-class 290 horsepower. This powertrain provides up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity for confident trailer, boat, or camper excursions. And that confidence is amplified by an expansive roster of standard Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Together, these elements make Carnival an exceptional combination of modern design, capability, safety and luxury.

The front-wheel drive Carnival keeps things simple with a single powertrain and best-in-class horsepower that is a perfect partner for this MPV’s size and intentions

Best in class 290 horsepower at 6,400 rpm

Interior


The center fascia takes on a premium image with high-gloss black surfaces.

A chrome garnish runs the length of the dash to create a sense of space and openness in the forward cabin.

Integrated slim metal air vents are a modern touch.

Three bold interior colors bring richness to this finely crafted environment.
