A family vehicle should be practical and economical—that much is a given. However, the 2024 Kia Carnival goes the extra mile by coming equipped with a robust powertrain, an inviting cabin with desirable amenities, and the latest technology. Let’s take a look at this exceptional ride!
Embarking on Family Adventures Redefined: The 2024 Kia Carnival
Reliable and Capable Performance
The heart of the Carnival’s powertrain is a naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 putting out 290 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. An 8-speed automatic transmission puts this impressive output to good use and ensures that you’ll have an easy time getting up to speed, whether you’re accelerating from a stop or passing other vehicles. When you’re focusing on efficiency, the Eco drive mode allows for a fuel economy of up to 26 MPG highway.
Genuinely nimble handling and a plush riding experience result from a well-tuned independent suspension comprised of front MacPherson struts and rear multi-links. The Carnival also boasts sturdy construction that allows it to tow up to 3,500 pounds, so it’s ideal for camping and boating trips.
Stylish and Functional Interior
Inside, the Carnival boasts a beautifully designed cabin with spacious seating for up to eight people, including more than 40 inches of 2nd-row legroom. The base LX model already feels deluxe thanks to its high-quality materials and snazzy details like the dashboard’s metallic trim that sports a unique 3D pattern. It sports easily removable 2nd-row seats for added versatility, plus standard solar control glass for the windshield that helps keep the cabin cool.
Most Carnival variants offer heated front seats, SynTex leatherette upholstery, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The SX is truly luxurious, featuring open-pore wood trim and ventilated seats. Available 2nd-row VIP lounge seats have extendable footrests and wing-out headrests.
Comprehensive Multimedia System
While an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration is standard on the LX, other trims get a 12.3-inch display and support for connected navigation. A pair of USB ports can be found in every row, plus an available mobile Wi-Fi hotspot lets users access the internet. Along with a 12-speaker Bose system, the Carnival offers a dual-screen rear entertainment system from which you can stream movies and TV shows.
Advanced Driver Assist Suite
Great peace of mind comes from the Carnival’s long list of standard driver assistance technologies, which include a frontal collision avoidance system, automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warnings with lane-keep assist. Coming standard on several trims are speed limit detection and intelligent cruise control that uses a cutting-edge radar system for maintaining a safe following distance.
Kia’s handsome, feature-loaded Carnival is proof that a family minivan doesn’t have to be bland and boring. Head over to Kia of Coatesville in Coatesville, PA today and find out for yourself!
