Exploring Family Adventures in the 2024 Kia Carnival

Designed for active families, the 2024 Kia Carnival adds comfort and style to your daily commutes or weekend road trips across Virginia. Even the base trim of this versatile multipurpose vehicle offers a rich suite of standard features and innovative technologies to keep you safe, comfortable, and entertained on the road.

2024 Kia Carnival Performance

From zipping through town to powering your journeys away from home, the Carnival’s 3.5L V6 GDI Lambda engine can handle it all. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, this capable powertrain produces 290 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque for a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. Whether you want to tow a pop-up camper or light toy trailer, the standard trailer pre-wiring makes hitching a breeze.

Offered exclusively in front-wheel drive, the Carnival is also designed to take you far without stopping too often for gas. EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 19 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on highways set this MPV ahead of its competitors. Selectable drive modes bring further advantages, allowing you to optimize performance or fuel efficiency based on your driving style or road conditions.

Family-Friendly Features 

With standard seven-passenger seating and available seats for eight, the 2024 Carnival offers ample room for your entire family. Second-row sliding removable seats and 60/40 split-fold third-row seats allow easy customization of your passenger and cargo spaces. In the eight-seat trims, a multi-function free mode seat in the middle can double as a table with cupholders and a tray.

Second-row seatback pockets, coat hooks, and a shopping hook provide plenty of small-item storage and enhance convenience. Front bucket seats offer ergonomic support to the driver and front passenger, while available upgrades include a smart power tailgate.

Intuitive Infotainment 

Connectivity and entertainment come standard with an 8-inch touchscreen offering smartphone integration via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth and USB media streaming, voice commands, and Smart Key capability. The available 12.3-inch KiaConnect touchscreen comes with additional entertainment and connectivity features, including SiriusXM Satellite Radio and modem capability.

This system also boasts built-in navigation and enhances the cabin with innovative tech features, such as Passenger View and Passenger Talk that allow you to keep an eye on and communicate clearly with passengers in the third row.

Driver Assistance and Safety

Safety also comes standard in the Kia Carnival, including the Drive Wise suite of advanced driver assistance systems that includes popular features like forward collision-avoidance assistance with pedestrian detection, lane management systems, and parking distance warning for easier backing. Additional features, such as navigation-based smart cruise control and highway driving assistance, are standard on the upper trims.
