The Carnival minivan is refreshed for 2025, with updated styling, high-tech interior features, and a new optional hybrid version powered by a 242-hp turbocharged, four-cylinder hybrid engine with a six-speed automatic transmission. The standard engine is a 287-hp V6 with an eight-speed automatic. The freshened Carnival looks a bit more SUV-like, with a front that reminds of the Telluride and extends accent lighting across part of the grille. The standard digital instrument display can be upgraded to a 12.3-inch screen that blends with the 12.3-inch infotainment screen. The infotainment system advances to Kia's latest technology, including multi-zone 'Hey Kia' voice recognition. Other available features include a color head-up display and a video rearview mirror--by feeding the mirror display with a camera behind the vehicle, it can provide a view without interference from headrests and passengers.
