Carnival Overview

Built For big families with even bigger dreams.

Taking a trip with the whole family, and maybe a few friends, is the kind of experience that creates memories to last a lifetime. When it comes to shared adventures, the Kia Carnival stands out. It offers spacious, comfortable seating, a bright and airy cabin, and smart connectivity to keep everyone plugged in. Blending luxury with practicality and packed with the latest technology, the Carnival ensures every passenger rides in comfort and style.

Less vibration. Less fuel. All the power.

The quieter diesel engine of the new Carnival offers significant fuel savings though improved cooling and reduced friction. The 8-speed automatic transmission offers smooth operation, with more gear ranges to achieve the perfect balance of economy and power.

Ultimate Safety Standards

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA

When reversing, rear corner radars monitor for approaching vehicles from either side of your path. If cross-traffic is detected, the system issues visual and audible alerts. Should the driver not respond in time, RCCA can automatically apply the brakes to help prevent a collision. *SX Limited and SXL models only.

Parking Distance Warning (PDW)

Designed to boost your confidence in tight spaces, Parking Distance Warning (PDW) uses ultrasonic sensors embedded in the front and rear bumpers to detect nearby obstacles. It provides audible alerts to help you park and manoeuvre more safely and accurately, reducing the risk of minor collisions and scrapes.

Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (FCA)

When turning right at an intersection, FCA uses a front-facing camera and radar to monitor for vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists in your path. If a potential collision is detected, it alerts the driver and can automatically apply the brakes to help avoid or lessen the impact of an accident. * SX Limited and SXL models only.

Lane Following Assist (LFA)

LFA uses a front view camera to detect lane markings and helps you stay centred in your lane. If it senses the vehicle drifting unintentionally, it gently adjusts the steering to guide you back between the lines, making everyday driving safer and more comfortable. *SX Limited and SXL models only.

Rear View Monitor (RVM)

Rear View Monitor with Parking Guidance gives you a live view of what's behind you. Lines superimposed on the image help you know how much space you have. *This feature is available in the SX Limited and SXL models only.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA)

When you begin to change lanes, BCA monitors your blind spots and warns you if a vehicle is detected. If necessary, it can apply differential braking to help prevent a collision. Additionally, it alerts you to approaching vehicles when backing out of a parallel parking space. *SX Limited and SXL models only.

Smart Cruise Control (SCC)

With a simple touch of a button, SCC will maintain the driver's selected speed. Using the front view camera and front radar, the system allows the vehicle to automatically maintain a safe following distance, reduce speed, and even come to a complete stop and start again, if necessary. *SX Limited and SXL models only.

Carnival Exterior

Discover game-changing design

Who says people movers can’t be stylish? The Kia Carnival breaks the mould with futuristic headlamps, a bold tiger-nose grille, and a striking rear light bar. Sleek body lines enhance aerodynamics, while expansive windows and a dual sunroof fill the cabin with light, creating a sense of openness and luxury.

Carnival Interior

For whatever the future brings

It’s tough to find a more versatile and spacious interior than the Kia Carnival’s. It comfortably seats up to eight people, with many seats removable to create extra cargo space for larger loads. For added flexibility and social comfort, the walk-in (non-reclining) second-row seat can be rotated to face backward, allowing passengers to chat face-to-face, just like in a limousine. This thoughtful design makes every journey more enjoyable, whether you’re carrying family, friends, or gear.

Multi-function Free Mode Seats

For the 8 seat model, the 2nd row seat can be removed and turned to face the 3rd row seat. Or turn and fold the centre seat only to create a shared table.

Luggage Mode

For 7 or 8 seat models, the 2nd row of seats can be removed, and a lever lets you fold down the 3rd row of seats to accommodate larger cargo and luggage.

Dual Sunroof System

From a dual sunroof system to seat warming and cooling ventilation, the Carnival is packed with all the features a big family could wish for when on the road.
