New Kia Carnival Model Review
See What's Exciting About the 2024 Kia Carnival in Dartmouth, MA
Kia positions the Carnival as a multi-purpose vehicle that combines the highlights of SUV driving with the roominess and accessibility of a van. If you want a three-row ride with plenty of space for passengers and cargo, you will adore the new Kia Carnival.
Performance
A three-row vehicle needs a solid engine to carry passengers and cargo around Dartmouth, MA, and the 290-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 engine in the Carnival does the job well. By generating 262 pound-feet of torque, the motor is also capable of towing 3,500 pounds. Every Carnival is a front-wheel drive model with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Technologies and Safety Features
Many creature comforts are standard on the Kia Carnival, including heated and powered front seats, adaptive cruise control, and multiple USB charging ports throughout the cabin. The standard infotainment screen is eight inches, but you can upgrade to a pair of 12.3-inch screens that stretch across the dash. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility come standard. From full-length side curtain airbags to automatic emergency braking and hill-start assist, safety is a priority in the Carnival. Navigate with confidence, thanks to standard rear cross-traffic alerts, plus lane following and driver attention warnings that keep you informed about the road ahead.
Interior
The Carnival is one of the roomiest vehicles on the market today. Whether you buy the seven- or -eight-seat version, getting into the second and third rows is easy. The Kia Carnival is available with cloth or leather seating, too. It also has 40.2 cubic feet of rear cargo room that's expandable to 145.1 cubic feet when you fold the second and third seating rows.
Exterior
With its bold SUV styling, the Carnival combines a spacious design with a lower ground clearance. It is the ideal choice for easy accessibility. You can choose between 17- or 19-inch alloy wheels, with optional painted alloy wheels and black finishes. The front of the Carnival boasts a sharp, modern look with a geometric grille that extends gracefully towards the headlamps. The air dam and bumper also give it a touch of attitude. Sliding side doors provide minivan-style convenience in an SUV-style package, too.
Trim Levels
The LX trim is the base package for the 2024 Carnival. The LX includes standard safety features. It seats seven passengers, but there is an LX seat package with the capacity for eight.
The EX is the first notable upgrade. It solely comes in an eight-seat setup, as do all the higher trims. The EX includes a more robust safety technology suite, and it comes with SynTex seating materials that are available in off-black or a two-tone combination of saddle brown and off-black.
