The 2024 Carnival MPV remains a standout choice in the Midsize MPV segment, boasting SUV-inspired styling and a combination of impressive passenger space, cargo capacity, and practical features. Its unique position also allows it to compete with three-row SUV crossover models.
The Carnival has recently experienced significant success, with sales up 81% last month over the previous March record. This achievement contributes to Kia’s eighth consecutive month of record-breaking sales. The Kia Carnival MPV has made a remarkable impression since its inception, earning the 2021 JD Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) award for the minivan segment, showcasing its exceptional quality and performance in the automotive industry.
Key attributes of the 2024 Carnival include best-in-class cargo space, class-leading 290 horsepower with 262 lb.-ft. of torque, and a 3,500-lb. towing capacity. The MPV offers standard hands-free power sliding doors, an available hands-free power tailgate with auto closing, one-button all-door open/close functionality, and modular second- and third-row seat flexibility, including second-row center multi-function free mode seats.
A multitude of changes were implemented for the Carnival lineup for the 2024 model year. The All-Auto Up/Down & Safety Power Windows have been removed from the EX trim but remain standard on the SX and SX Prestige trims. The Carnival EX Power Tailgate Delete Package (8-passenger) is no longer available.
The 2024 Carnival (excluding the $1,365 destination fee) starts at $33,200 for the LX, with the LX Seat Package priced at $35,200. The EX trim comes in at $38,700, while the SX and SX Prestige are priced at $41,900 and $46,300, respectively. The 3.5L V6 GDI Lambda III Engine delivers 290 horsepower, 262 lb.-ft. of torque and 3,500 lb. towing capacity. Its EPA-estimated MPG ratings are 19 city, 26 highway, and 22 combined.
