2025 Kia Carnival - Is It BETTER Than Ever?
The Kia Carnival gets new front and rear fascias, as well as new in-cabin tech and even a new optional hybrid engine for 2025. Updates include a new larger grille and headlights that match those of Telluride, while the rear end mimics the Sorento SUV. Inside, there’s a new optional 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and 12-inch infotainment touchscreen. There’s also a new digital rearview mirror. The Carnival seats 7 passengers and is only offered as a 4-door minivan. Competitors include the Chrysler Pacifica, Honda Odyssey, and Toyota Sienna.
Five trims are offered: LX, LXS, EX, SX and SX Prestige. Two engines are available: A 3.5-liter V6 engine that makes 287 horsepower and mates to an 8-speed automatic transmission. A new range-topping hybrid engine is optional: A 1.6-liter 4-cylinder aided by an electric motor that produces 272 horsepower and pairs to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Only front-wheel-drive models are offered. Pricing ranges from $35,000 to $48,000.

Thank you! I've watched several reviews of the new Carnival and this was by far the most informative.
"Tom wake up" 😂😮😂 Great vid again guys..awesome edits as always and way to keep us engaged 10/10 on the vid! lol I 👀 you Kia!
Very nice. Interested in the price as I see the top trim Odyssey is in the low to mid 50s now. Great review Tom as always.
Wow that’s cool that the rear sunroof opens too. Would love to see more of that when you get the chance to drive one.
I was at the Chicago autoshow and love this van. I had the 22 SX and now have the 23 LXS and will be upgrading to the 25 Hybrid.
My only real gripe with the exterior is the hearse looking C pillar and the sliding door tracks still not integrated and hidden into the design like the Odyssey.
I like the separation of light
Great review Tom. I wish we had the 11 Passenger Kia Carnival MPV in the United States Market eventually.
Like the toyota hiace
If they can only have the AWD option. Living up in the northeastern region, it is a must for me. I went to my local Kia dealership and my wife and I loved it but the lack of AWD was a no. The sales associate even said he has lost lots of customers to the sienna being that they have the AWD option and it’s a V4 hybrid.
Impressive! Soccer Mom vans have come a long way!👍
I like the calligraphy.... my next vehicle!
Love this color! And black wheels. What's the name of this color again?
For the Carnaval to move to the #1 position on my purchase list , it has to get AWD to make it the best it can be in the snow-belt states
Tom needs a caffeine boost for an early morning presentation on the newest version of kias minivan
😂😂😂
Man thank you so much! Ive been trying to find the Kia Carnival 2025. I love the form and the back. Except the fenders on the front. It looks weird. And the interior is too small I guess. Like i feel the 2024 Carnival was better
So beautiful
Did Kia do away with the rear amber turn signal? I really dislike red turn signals.
Looks great
Is this a Van or Suv?
Does it comes with AWD, if not, I'll go with Toyota Sienna. Love the AWD in the snow. It's a feature that determine the deciding factor.
I am literally in the same situation. Everything about the Carnival is great with the exception of the lack of AWD option. I need it for the snow where I live. Now that this has a hybrid option it only lacks the AWD. I am going with a sienna as well.
Front looks good
I think this will take a lot of sales from Toyota if Toyota continues to not have much inventory in Siennas and Kia can actually deliver enough hybrids. With kids, those giant TVS slammed next to the seats don't look like they will last long. I'd also spec the bench seat.
really beautiful car
How much price Sir
😅 greetings from oakville Ontario Canada the kia EV5 has been promised to Canada but not for the United States according to the carscoops website thanks for the presentation unfortunately I don't like minivans or multiple purpose vehicle or MPV
Greetings! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment.
Nice car
A 1.6 liter engine on the hybrid version seems like a toy.
My old one seats 8, comfortably....too bad sacrificing looks for use.
I just picked up one of these bad boys. I’ll be taking a nap just like that at work.
Back seats have features but no real space like other brands to walk through to the third row seats
Wow, KIA straight-up ripped-off the front head lights of the 2024 Cadillac XT4, and the rear tail lights of the Hongqi H9.

No AWD is a hard pass for me. What was Kia thinking? Could have won a huge portion of this market.
Only If it had AWD 😢
Kinda disappointing in the lack of AWD and the hybrid powertrain is simply underwhelming. I was expecting a V6 engine paired with a decent size electric battery for at least 80 miles of autonomy.
The hybrid will be released soon.
Yeah honestly I’ve been considering this a lot but I haven’t pulled the trigger on buying it because of the no awd.
You will probably complain it’s too expensive when they add awd and hybrid.
Bad thing with that gray side panel.
Agree. Plus hide the door track.
Hello sir
Why didn't they finish the back lights? Lol. Looks like they are broken. The lights should connect. Do we know why kia did that?
Not loving that silver piece on the window. Seems out of place
Je veux cette voiture et je n'ai pas d'argent. Qui peut m'aider ?
The lights all the way across are Hyundai signatures, maybe that's why Kia don't do them.
No, I hate those rims. Looks like it's been driven through a tar pit. I'm seriously considering buying a Carnival, but the dealer will have to put chrome rims on it. 👍
Exactly!!! Guess there are many who like the look of the black wheels but I’d have my brushed aluminum rims (maybe a BBS style mesh) delivered to the dealer. Or have it towed home with those until I had replacements. Wouldn’t be caught dead driving either those ugly wheels. :)
@@georgeballow7028 🤣🤣👍 same here! I love my chrome rims.
it looks alot better with the lights slit.. looks way more chic.. unibrow ahh noo.. 🤣
看看人家電梯無障礙標台灣是怕人看到怕人看到
Cadillac copy cat
Wtf is with the stupid fin thing behind the door. First thing I would just want it colour matched… why do all these minivan makers think they can disguise it with some gimmick, like that hideous Honda lightning bolt design
looks great than ever, but safety is worse than before.
What happened to cars with style? All modern cars all look like bricks these days.
Auto manufacturers copy what styles are in at the moment, hence the thin headlights and taillights design. Also seems like boxy is the current flavor...
