Engine (Power)
A standard 3.5-liter V-6 engine with gasoline direct injection powers all 2025 Carnival trims, delivering 287 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth delivery and efficient performance. The Carnival features front-wheel drive as standard, optimizing traction and fuel economy.
Performance
The V-6-powered Carnival accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds and offers a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. A drive-mode-select system lets drivers switch between normal, eco, sport, and smart modes, catering to different driving preferences. All models feature responsive column-mounted motor-driven power steering for precise handling, while the EX and higher trims add an electronic parking brake with auto-hold functionality.
Interior
The Carnival's modern interior is designed for comfort and practicality. The LX and LXS feature eight-passenger seating configurations with sliding and removable second-row seats, while the SX Prestige's seven-passenger setup elevates luxury with heated, premium leather VIP lounge seats that recline and include leg rests. Tri-zone automatic climate control ensures comfort for all passengers on all five trims.
A 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard across all trims, with the SX and SX Prestige models adding a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster for a seamless, tech-forward experience. Connectivity features include up to seven USB ports, and for a superior audio experience, a 12-speaker Bose premium sound system is available. Other optional enhancements include a dual-screen rear-seat entertainment system, an in-vehicle intercom, and a rear-passenger view camera.

Safety Features
The 2025 Kia Carnival provides an array of standard safety features, such as forward collision-avoidance assist with junction turning and blind-spot collision-avoidance assist. For safer highway driving, lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, and automated emergency braking are included on all models. Safe-exit assist prevents rear doors from opening when traffic is detected, and the pedestrian-detect system identifies pedestrians or cyclists in the roadway.
The EX trim adds highway driving assist, a system that combines adaptive cruise control and lane-centering technology. Both the SX and SX Prestige feature a surround-view monitor for improved visibility during parking maneuvers and navigation-based smart cruise control, which adjusts speed based on upcoming curves and speed limits.
