2022 Kia Carnival Preview

2022 Kia Carnival View of Front Cabin


While the Kia Sedona was a popular pick with Minneapolis, the new 2022 Kia Carnival takes the modern minivan to soaring new heights. This multi-purpose vehicle features the styling of an upscale SUV with the capacity of a minivan, resulting in a stylish and practical vehicle that pushes the envelope in the segment. Starting at an MSRP of $32,100, get the official Kia Carnival preview at Cornerstone Kia and find out just what this all-new model has to offer you on the Maple Grove roads ahead!

New Kia Carnival Specifications

The new Kia Carnival specifications are bound to impress with a robust 3.5L V6 engine, standard across all trim levels. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, this dynamo offers a whopping 290 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque on the open roads. And if you’re planning a vacation with the family, you can also tow up to 3,500 pounds of heavy-duty cargo while hitting the Andover roads.

Though the dynamic powertrain is impressive enough, the new Kia Carnival specifications also include a wealth of safety features that weren’t available on the previous Sedona. That includes 12 standard active drive assist features for additional protection on the road, like:

  • Automated emergency braking
  • Automatic high beams
  • Drowsy-driver detection
  • Forward, rearward, and blind-spot collision avoidance
  • Rear parking sensors
  • Lane-keeping assistance
  • And more!
