Kia Carnival
Model Overview
For 2022, Kia didn’t just redesign its minivan offering; it reimagined it. The Carnival replaces the Sedona as Kia’s people mover, adopting styling cues reminiscent of an upscale crossover SUV and offering features and high-tech interfaces that live up to the luxury vibe: Check out the optional second-row seats with fold-out leg rests. This is Kia’s attempt to breathe life into the minivan segment, and it’s a well-done effort.
