Car and Driver
The team at Car and Driver gave the Carnival a staggering 9/10. They note that this vehicle has a stylish exterior, its V6 engine works well for minivan tasks, and it’s an overall refined ride. The review states that the Carnival’s SUV-like styling does an excellent job of hiding the fact that this vehicle is a minivan.
“On both long-haul road trips and short errands about town, the 287-hp V-6 engine delivers smooth power and decent fuel economy,” said Car and Driver’s Buyer’s Guide Managing Editor Drew Dorian. “The 2025 model receives updates to its grille, headlamps, taillamps, wheels, and lower body panels that look inspired by the company’s new EV9 electric three-row crossover.”
Car and Driver ranked the Carnival as the #2 minivan, positioned between the Toyota Sienna and the Honda Odyssey.
“Kia offers many standard driver-assistance features, including lane-keeping assist, automatic high-beam headlamps, and blind-spot monitoring, all of which help the Carnival compete with the Pacifica, the Sienna, and the Honda Odyssey,” said Dorian.
The team took the Carnival for a test drive and got 2 mpg higher than the EPA rating on the highway. They also note that the vehicle went from 0 to 60 mph in seven seconds on their test track.
Kelley Blue Book
The staff at Kelley Blue Book rated the Kia Carnival favorably with an impressive 4.5/5 stars. They highlight the vehicle’s roomy cabin, safety features, and unbeatable warranty. The team also notes that it takes styling cues from the brand’s EV lineup.
“Revamped styling this year evokes Kia’s futuristic approach with its new EV9 all-electric 3-row SUV,” said reviewer Colin Ryan. “The Carnival is distinct from other minivans because of this SUV-like look, yet it still has practical minivan aspects like sliding side doors.”
Ryan notes how impressed the staff was with the car’s overall driving experience, with the car featuring 287 horsepower and an automatic transmission that is able to sweetly shift gears. He also takes time to recognize the car’s precise steering and confident brakes.
“The Carnival is a well-thought-out and well-executed vehicle. Our owner reviews praise the space, looks, and features.”
