About Kia Carnival
It may have a silly name, but the Carnival is a seriously good people mover.
Ahead of a 2025-model-year refresh, the 2024 Kia Carnival carries over unchanged as Kia’s entry into a small, but competitive, minivan segment that also includes the Chrysler Pacifica, Honda Odyssey, and Toyota Sienna.
Verdict: The Carnival offers a great driving experience and excellent warranty, but these upsides are tainted by a lack of all-wheel drive and mixed safety ratings.

Reviewed a 2025 Kia EX FWD on Aug 22, 2024
I recently purchased the 2025 Kia Carnival EX, and overall, Im very impressed. The engines power is definitely one of the highlights—it delivers strong, confident acceleration. The driving assistance technology is top-notch, providing a sense of security on the road, and the cabins quietness adds to the overall comfort, making it a pleasant environment for both driver and passengers. However, coming from a 2020 Chrysler Pacifica, I do miss the armrests on the front and middle row seats. They were a small but appreciated feature that added to the comfort, especially on longer drives. Despite this, the Carnival EX is proving to be a great choice with its modern features and smooth ride.

I love the handling of this van, I do wish it had an automatic lift gate though, really that is my only complaint. So far, ( I’ve only put about 400 miles on it) it has been an excellent purchase.
