2023 Kia Carnival in Wesley Chapel, FL
If you want a family vehicle that goes beyond the norm with its appearance, performance, and technology, look no further than the 2023 Carnival Multi-Purpose Vehicle. The new Kia Carnival MPV has a bold look and an exhilarating drive to match, meaning you won’t be bored hauling your family from place to place.
The 2023 Kia Carnival is available at five trim levels: LX, LX Seat Package, EX, SX, and SX Prestige.
Performance
There’s no holding back with the new Kia Carnival. This multi-purpose vehicle stays true to its name with a powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine that delivers an exhilarating best-in-class 290 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. That amounts to a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds so you can bring along a small trailer for a weekend of fun. With the Carnival’s eight-speed automatic transmission and Eco Drive Mode, you can expect to get up to 26 mpg on the highway.[1]
Design
The new Carnival MPV features sporty SUV-like style to help your family vehicle stand out among a pack of boring competitors. Exterior color options include sophisticated Panthera Metal and Silky Silver, but you can go with more vibrant hues like Flare Red, Deep Chroma Blue, or Astra Blue if you like. From front to back, you’ll find accents in either Silver Finish, Black, Matte Chrome, or Satin Chrome depending on the trim you choose. The elevated appearance of the Carnival extends to its cabin, which features various seating materials in colors like Off-Black, Saddle Brown, and Tuscan Umber.
Convenience
The interior of the 2023 Carnival offers comfort and flexibility. There’s enough room for up to eight people, but you can opt for a seven-seat configuration with second-row captain’s chairs if that’s what you prefer. When you fold down all of the rear seats, you’ll have 145.1 cubic feet of total cargo space to utilize. Behind the third row is 40.2 cubic feet, so you can still bring along quite a bit of items with a full back-seat area.
In addition to its roominess, the Kia Carnival comes with a host of upscale amenities to keep everyone comfortable. The seats can be covered in woven cloth, SynTex synthetic leather, or genuine leather trim. If you go with the LX Seat Package trim, you’ll get a power driver’s seat with power lumbar support and heated front seats. However, the SX and SX Prestige trims go the furthest with luxury, offering amenities like heated and ventilated front seats, a memory driver’s seat, a heated steering wheel, and 3D embossed interior accent trim.
Technology
Stay connected on every trip. The new Kia Carnival offers an available 12.3-inch touch-screen display with navigation and Kia Connect. The latter lets you remotely access the Carnival and do things like lock or unlock the doors as well as start the engine to get climate settings in order. You can also find a 12.3-inch instrument display behind the steering wheel on SX and SX Prestige models, giving you almost 25 inches of total screen space up front. Every new Carnival comes with helpful tech like Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, Bluetooth®, voice recognition, a various USB charging ports. But as you move up to higher trims, you’ll find even more convenience with a wireless phone charger, additional USB charging outlets, a Bose® 12-speaker premium audio system, and a dual-screen rear seat entertainment system.
Safety
Of course, Kia understands that you want to keep your family safe on every drive. That’s why the new Carnival is equipped with some of the most advanced driver-assist features to make each journey a breeze, no matter where you’re headed. Highway driving is simple with standard tech like Lane Following Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, and Lane Departure Warning. Go even further on higher trims with Blind-Spot View Monitor, Highway Driving Assist, and Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control. Driving in traffic is just as easy thanks to helpful features like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Safe Exit Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist, and more.
