Both versions bring the same eight-seat space and family-ready features — what separates them is power delivery and how far a tank of gas takes you.

Kia Carnival FAQs

Is the Kia Carnival a minivan or an SUV?

Kia officially labels the Carnival an MPV, short for multi-purpose vehicle. It carries the sliding doors and three-row layout you'd expect from a minivan, dressed in the bolder styling and available features of an SUV. It stands alone as Kia’s only entry in the van/minivan class.

Does the Kia Carnival come as a hybrid?

Yes — select Carnival trims now offer a 1.6L turbo-hybrid powertrain, which delivers a notable fuel-economy bump over the gas V6. Ask our team which hybrid trims we currently have on the lot.

How many people does the Carnival seat?

With a second-row bench, the Carnival holds up to eight; swap in the available second-row captain’s chairs and that drops to seven. Fold and slide the seats around and you get cargo space that leads the class.

What’s the difference between the Carnival trims?

LX starts things off well-equipped; EX layers in comfort and tech; SX brings premium touches and captain’s chairs; and SX Prestige tops the range as the luxury pick. Hybrid power shows up on select trims.

What warranty comes with a new Kia Carnival?

Every new Kia carries a 10-year / 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty along with a 5-year / 60,000-mile limited basic warranty. At Dean McCrary Kia, eligible vehicles pick up factory warranty too.
