Revamped to suit the contemporary family, the 2025 Kia Carnival is set to make its debut at the Canadian International Auto Show.

Unveiling a revolutionary hybrid powertrain to enhance overall efficiency and expand Kia's eco-friendly vehicle portfolio, the redesigned Carnival is set to arrive at dealerships in spring 2024, with the Hybrid variant following in the summer of 2024. The Carnival, introduced in Canada in 2021, has captured the Canadian market with a remarkable 177% year-over-year sales increase in 2023.

Showcasing bold exterior design upgrades and advanced high-tech interior features, the 2025 Carnival redefines the 'Life Utility Vehicle' concept. This model promises the utmost convenience, boasting a head-up display, Digital Key 2.0, and Over the Air updates. According to David Sherrard, Director of Strategic Planning at Kia Canada, "The 2025 Carnival sets a new standard in its segment, blending functionality and luxury seamlessly."

The exterior enhancements draw inspiration from Kia's 'Opposites United' design philosophy, embodying boldness for nature with star-map daytime running lights and an iconic amber hue. The redesigned bumper, grille, and rear elements exude confidence, while five new wheel designs enhance the overall daring aesthetic.

Inside, the Carnival's interior combines modern touches with practicality, featuring a standard 12.3" panoramic navigation screen and a digital gauge cluster. For the first time, customers can opt for an 8-passenger configuration with removable second-row bench seating, maximizing both seating and cargo capacity.

Connectivity takes center stage with Kia's Connected Car Navigation Cockpit, providing a centralized hub for critical vehicle information and supporting Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. Over-the-air capable technology ensures the latest software updates for infotainment and navigation systems.

In a groundbreaking move, the 2025 Carnival introduces a hybrid powertrain for the first time. The Carnival Hybrid combines a 1.6 turbocharged engine with a 54kW drive motor, offering efficient driving performance. Exclusive features like Shift by Wire and Remote Smart Parking Assist add to the innovative driving experience.

Safety is advanced with available Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems, including Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2.0, Highway Driving Assist 2, and Intelligent Speed Limit Assist.
