Performance

The sole V6 engine provides 290 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque while working with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The new three-row Kia Carnival is only available with front-wheel drive. The Kia Carnival offers up 3,500 pounds of towing capacity.

Technology

Stepping to the SX trim adds in even more tech thanks to features like two 115-volt outlets and a 360-degree camera system. The top of the line SX-Prestige trim includes a Bose 12-speaker audio system along with a 12.3-inch LCD driver information cluster.

Interior

The Carnival is a mixture of roomy SUV and classic minivan, providing drivers with a careful mix that leans more towards the SUV side of things than the minivan side.

The Kia Carnival EX trim ups the seating space, providing seating for up to eight.

The SX trim level takes things up a notch by adding in heated/ventilated front seats and an array of convenience features.
