Kia has announced the pricing for the refreshed 2025 Carnival minivan, which as received a facelift, updated tech and most importantly, an available hybrid powertrain.
On the outside, the 2025 Carnival gets a new grille, headlights and taillights and new wheel designs. Inside Carnival is available with either a 4.2-inch TFT screen that’s integrated with a 12.3-inch infotainment system, while the upgraded versions get a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. The Carnival also gets Kia’s next-generation Connected Car Navigation Cockpit, which can receive over-the-air updates. A rear entertainment system with dual 14.6-inch monitors is available.
For the first time, the Carnival is now available with a hybrid powertrain, which will give the Toyota Sienna some competition. It’s powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that’s mated to a 54 kW electric motor and 6-speed automatic transmission. The hybrid powertrain generates a combined 242 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque. Kia has not announced the fuel economy specs for the Carnival hybrid.
The pricing for the Carnival hybrid starts at $41,895.
If you would rather have a V6 engine under the hood, the Carnival still is available with a 3.5-liter V6 with 287 hp and 260 lb-ft. The pricing for the base Carnival starts at $37,895.
