New 2025 Kia Carnival
Experience Smooth Driving With This Premium Vehicle
Many families opt for minivans when looking for a vehicle to fit their family and anyone else along for the ride. Unfortunately, many minivans don't have the "cool factor" that some people look for when driving a vehicle.Â
That's where Kia changes the game. The Carnival takes what you thought you knew about minivans and flips it on its head. The SUV-inspired styling makes this family-friendly vehicle into something attractive and sleek.Â
Not only does the 2025 Carnival look good, but it drives smoothly as well. This vehicle offers extensive interior storage options, premium amenities, and more.Â

Pricing and Trim Information
The starting price for the 2025 Kia Carnival begins at $37,895. The price can go up to $51,995 depending on the options and trim level you select.Â
The trim options you can choose from with the Carnival include:

The LX is the more value-oriented trim level while the SX Prestige is the more deluxe version of the vehicle. The EX lands in the middle and delivers a good amount of convenience features that will justify the cost of spending a bit more on the upgrade.

One of the things we love about the high-end SX Prestige trim is that it comes with leather upholstery. You can also choose to include reclining second-row seats that feature pop-up footrests. These VIP seats give your passengers a relaxing way to spend time on a long road trip.Â
The amount of cargo space in the Kia Carnival is astounding. You can fit around 14 suitcases behind the third row.Â
