Minivans are a go-to for many families, and the 2024 Kia Carnival is a top choice among the other options on the market. It’s practical, comfortable, and sports an SUV-inspired exterior style that appeals to those hesitant to be seen in a minivan. Plenty of room, standard driver assistance features, and the latest infotainment technology are some of the incredible features that will make all your commutes and road trips a breeze.
1. Smooth Handling
The 2024 Carnival handles beautifully and offers a well-balanced ride thanks to its front strut and rear multi-link suspension and responsive steering. The combination offers smooth cruising and keeps its composure around corners, providing joy for the driver and comfort for all your passengers.
2. Surprising Acceleration
The Carnival’s 3.5-liter V6 engine produces 290 horsepower, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission to propel the front-wheel drive for perky acceleration you might not expect from a minivan: further proof that driving a family-sized vehicle can still serve up a thrilling experience for the driver.
3. Ample Cargo Space
The cargo area in some minivans is so small it seems like an afterthought, but the Carnival offers 40.2 cubic feet behind the third row, giving you plenty of room to load bags and other cargo even when all the seats are occupied. Fold the third row into the floor, and the capacity more than doubles to 86.9 cu. ft., and you’ll get a massive 145 cubes of space to haul just about anything behind the first row.
For all your small-item storage, the large center console in the front offers plenty of room to secure your belongings, and the mini overhead console is perfect for items like sunglasses you might need to grab in a hurry.
4. Modern Entertainment
The standard 8-inch infotainment touchscreen includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless smartphone integration, allowing you to easily stream audio entertainment through the six standard speakers, make calls, and more with convenient voice recognition technology. You’ll have the option to upgrade to a dual 12.3-inch display if you prefer digital gauges, and an optional rear-seat entertainment system is available in the SX trim and up, perfect for keeping energetic kids pacified on long drives.
5. Standard Safety
Safety is paramount with your precious family onboard, and the Carnival keeps you about as safe as any vehicle can with standard driver-assistance features, including lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and automated emergency braking.
