We’re driving Kia’s updated people mover for over two weeks and are ready for the toughest questions
2 hours ago
Flashy supercars and sports sedans might be a lot of fun but they’re not the most practical cars available. Kia’s Carnival MPV aims to offer maximum practicality, comfort, luxury, and even a little fun. We’re about to drive the brand-new 2024 edition and we’re ready for your hardest questions.
MPV stands for multi-purpose vehicle (aka minivan) and to that end, Kia sees this as a people mover, a stuff mover, and sometimes both. Its somewhat unconventional styling and its classification as an MPV is an intentional attempt to lean toward the SUV-loving public. This isn’t just a minivan in a fancy dress though.
Inside the cabin of our SX Prestige trimmed Carnival are seven seats including four captain’s chairs in the first two rows. The second-row seats are what Kia calls lounge seats as they recline and have calf support. It also has a second-row entertainment system with dual screens each with its own streaming services like Netflix, YouTube, and Twitch.

Tech isn’t simply limited to touchscreen features though. The Carnival we’re driving has Kia’s ‘Highway Driving Assist’ driver aid. It incorporates adaptive cruise control and lane-centering technology that uses navigation data to improve smoothness in turns.
Under the hood is a 3.5-liter V6 that develops 290 hp (219 kW) and 262 lb-ft (354 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the front wheels only through an eight-speed conventional automatic gearbox. According to the EPA, the Carnival gets up to 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. Those figures are pretty good for a heavy minivan but they do fall short of the Chrysler Pacifica and Toyota Sienna.
Finally, it’s worth noting that we’re not just driving the Carnival for a day or two. This thing is going to be ours for over two weeks while we take it on a massive 2,700-mile road trip. Keep that in mind as you formulate the questions you have.
With that, hit us with what you want to know about Kia’s coolest people mover.
