When you have a large family, you need a vehicle to fit the whole crew and still have room for cargo. Enter the 2025 Kia Carnival. Combining a sleek exterior and spacious interior, this eight-seater minivan is the vehicle Westbrook families have been waiting for. We bring you the lowdown on the new Kia Carnival.
Basics About the 2025 Kia Carnival
For 2025, the Carnival receives a sleek makeover. Gone is the boxy body associated with minivans, replaced instead by an SUV-inspired design with modern elements. The redesigned frontage boasts a bold black and dark chrome grille flanked by vertical multi-reflector LED headlights and futuristic-looking daytime running lights. Sculpted lower side panels, matte black 17-inch wheels, and a rear taillight bar add a sporty touch to the overall design.
Unique Features
Class-Leading Power
The Carnival may be a family-friendly vehicle, but it still packs a punch in terms of performance. At its heart is a powerful 3.5-liter V6, generating an impressive 260 pound-feet of torque and a class-leading 287 horsepower. Kia mates this with a front-wheel-drive layout and an eight-speed automatic transmission to deliver excellent traction and nimble handling.
This outstanding powertrain also lends this minivan immense strength, with a properly equipped Carnival capable of towing a trailer or camper weighing up to 3,500 pounds.
Spacious Interior
The beauty of the Carnival’s 203-inch elongated body is the amount of space it offers on the inside. Its plush interior has plenty of room for all seven passengers to stretch out, with front occupants receiving 41.1 inches of legroom while those in the second row enjoy a generous 40.5 inches. Even third-row occupants benefit from ample head, shoulder, and legroom.
Optional Slide-Flex Seat
Kia lets you turn your minivan into an eight-seater by adding a middle seat in the second row. This available seat slides forward to position the occupant within arm’s reach of front passengers, or slides back to give other second-row passengers more room. You can also fold the back to convert the seat into a handy table for rear occupants to use.
Flexible Cargo Area
Even with its expansive cabin, the Carnival still boasts a 40.2 cubic foot trunk at the rear, enabling you to load everything a busy family needs to carry. Foldable seating also lets you configure the interior to suit your cargo needs. With both the second and third-row seatbacks folded, the cargo area expands to a cavernous 145.1 cubic feet giving you the space to fit oversized and bulky items.
With its SUV-inspired design, high-performing powertrain, and spacious interior, the new Carnival is redefining the minivan. To learn more, visit Bill Dodge Kia in Westbrook, ME today, and explore the minivan that meets the demands of family life.
