Meet the All-New 2022 Kia Carnival

Interior

The Carnival’s spacious cabin boasts comfortable second and third-row seating that comes standard in cloth but can be upgraded to durable SynTex or genuine leather. When you get the SX Prestige trim, the second row can enjoy VIP touches like headrests, footrests, heating and ventilation, and full recline. Several trims also offer Slide-Flex seating that lets you move the middle second-row seat to make getting into the third-row seats as easily as possible.

Cargo

40.2 cubic feet is available behind the seats of the Carnival. That number blows up when you fold down the third-row seats and remove the second-row seats altogether, garnering an incredible, best-in-class 145.1 cubic feet. So no matter what you’re hauling, the Carnival has you covered. a smart hatch and smart doors mean you can open and close all your doors with just one touch, which makes loading up the car a whole lot easier.

Power

The Carnival comes with a robust 3.5-liter V6 engine that offers best-in-class 290 horsepower and a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. Enjoy a ride that perfectly walks the line between engaging and cruisy; it’s a quick car that feels good powering down the highway, and its eight-speed automatic transmission is fluid and subtle. The car is well-balanced with a good center of gravity, which makes taking on corners and tricky smaller areas feel breezy.

Safety

This year’s Carnival has been built with a lighter, higher-strength structure with better body rigidity than ever before, and has been vigorously tested for strength across different terrains and temperatures. It’s also fitted with advanced airbags that are intelligently informed by the severity of a collision, and deploy and inflate accordingly. The tethers and anchors for securing child seats are industry standard.

There’s also a suite of tech features designed to offer you maximum safety and support on the road. This includes forward collision avoidance, which scans the road ahead for hazards and, if necessary, automatically applying the brakes. Also available are blind-spot assistance, parking collision avoidance, and safe exit assist.

Other Tech

Great options for infotainment mean the whole family can stay happy throughout even the most heavy-traffic drives. A premium Bose sound system and a dual-screen rear-seat entertainment system are available, as is a slick 12.3-inch dual display in the front area. Need to check on the kids? A two-way intercom lets you talk to passengers in the back row clearly, or get a camera that lets you look back at the second and third rows, even at night.

Safe, smart, powerful, fast, spacious, fun; 2021 Carnival puts the “multi” into multi-purpose vehicle. To see one for yourself, come visit us at Crain Kia of Bentonville in Bentonville, AR, today.
