August 14th, 2024 by

2025 Kia Carnival

Kia has provided a refresh for the 2025 Carnival with a bold design and a hybrid powertrain. The KIA Carnival is even more versatile with the latest technology for buyers around Conyers, Griffin, and McDonough. You can contact SONS KIA for more updates on this and other models.

Design Highlights

KIA has announced some of the design highlights for the 2025 KIA Carnival to fuel your anticipation for this multi-purpose vehicle. Cube-like headlights feature intricate detail while the wheel designs range from 17 to 19 inches. Star Map lighting is included in the front and rear, enhancing the bold exterior.

The cabin of the 2025 Carnival is just as impressive with a 4.2-inch TFT display, which provides vehicle information at a glance. You also have the option to upgrade to a 12.3-inch cluster display that’s fully digital. The 12.3-inch touchscreen is standard but can be upgraded to include navigation. Everyone can power up with six USB-C ports located in all three rows. You get seating for up to eight with the option of VIP Lounge Seats with room for seven. The removable second row seats and folding third row seats continue with this model year.

Updated Technology

The next-generation Connected Car Navigation Cockpit operating system has been included in this model year for the Carnival with over-the-air updates. The Rear Entertainment System keeps passengers contented on long rides with dual monitors at 14.6 inches and full HD resolution.

You’ll find several family-focused features, such as the in-cabin camera and intercom. This system allows the driver to interact with rear passengers. Voice recognition is standard to adjust settings and entertainment options. Information can be projected onto the windshield with an 11-inch full-color Head Up Display.

Hybrid Performance

The big change for the 2025 KIA Carnival is the addition of the Carnival Hybrid. The model includes a 1.6L turbo-hybrid engine and 54kW motor paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The result is 242 horsepower and 271 lb.-ft of torque. The Carnival Hybrid features 17-inch aerodynamic wheels with Active Air Flaps in the front fascia. You also get paddle regenerative braking to conserve energy.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist now includes Junction Crossing. Higher trims have Highway Driving Assist 2, which is a system that helps you stay in your lane. The system keeps you a set distance from vehicles in front and within the lane markers while assisting in lane changes in specific circumstances.

If you don’t want to wait for the 2025 KIA Carnival to launch, you can see the 2024 model year at SONS KIA. This model offers many of the same features without the hybrid version and updates. You can stop by and take it for a test drive at the dealership to see if it fits your family’s needs. Our sales team will be happy to answer your questions and introduce you to the new technology.
