2024 Kia Carnival MPV
Future Kia of Clovis presents the 2024 Kia Carnival MPV
Tapping into the modern family’s need for space, utility, and modern design, Kia has showcased its ability to think differently with the creation of the Kia Carnival MPV back in 2022. Intelligently packaged as a Multi-Purpose Vehicle, the 2024 Kia Carnival MPV combines all the benefits of the less favorable minivan into a true SUV-like design, giving customers all over Fresno, Visalia, Madera, and Hanford the versatility and space they love, and the rugged appearance that doesn’t scream “mom-van”. Although the 2024 Kia Carnival MPV lacks all-wheel drive and any off-roading capabilities, it is packed with minivan features that make it super attractive, like dual sliding doors for easy entry, plenty of legroom and headroom, multiple seating configurations to fit your cargo and up to eight passengers, and a neat cabin intercom system to help front passengers know what's happening in the rear seats. A potent 3.5-liter V6 paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission makes the 2024 Kia Carnival MPV powerful and actually really fun to drive, with well-controlled body motions and a smooth ride. Future Kia of Clovis knows that your families comfort and convenience are a top priority in the search for a new vehicle, so we invite you to join us as we delve into an in-depth review of the 2024 Kia Carnival, which will include engine specs, seating configurations, interior highlights, and trim offerings including the LX, EX, SX and top-of-the-line SX Prestige.
Engine Specs and Fuel Economy
The 2024 Kia Carnival MPV is powered like an SUV, with a 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. This family-mover produces 290 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, and offers a comfortable ride that absorbs bumps well, has good body control, and minimal leaning when taking a corner. We like the traditional lever that handles the gear shifts instead of a dial or push buttons. Fuel economy is rated at 19 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway.
Interior Highlights and Seating Configurations
Further distancing itself from the traditional minivan, the 2024 Kia Carnival MPV showcases a sleek, modern, and upscale interior. Opting for the top-of-the-line SX Prestige gets you terra-cottra leather seats, gloss-black trim, and patterned aluminum accents. That trim also showcases a cutting edge dual-screen set-up, with a digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. Both screens sit side-by-side under a single ultra-wide display, a design characteristic of high-end luxury vehicles. Most trims offer an eight-passenger configuration, with a second-row bench where the center seat can convert to a table. True to minivan form, the third row is spacious enough for adults and teens. Even with the third row in use, the 2024 Kia Carnival MPV still offers a class-leading 40 cubic feet of cargo space. The most notable features include a rear-seat entertainment system with dual-screens and a cabin camera that monitors rear passengers, who can also use the Passenger Voice Control system by pressing a button on the ceiling to access voice commands.
Trim Offerings
Coming in four trim levels, including the LX, EX, SX and SX Prestige, the 2024 Kia Carnival MPV has something for every family in Fresno, Visalia, Madera, Hanford and Clovis. Here is a breakdown of each trim level. LX The entry-level 2024 Kia Carnival LX has room for seven passengers and features an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a six-speaker audio system, hands-free power sliding doors, and a suite of active safety features such as Safe Exit Assist, a rear-seat occupant alert, and rear parking sensors. Opting for the eight-seat LX adds faux-leather upholstery, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, and sliding second-row seats. EX This trim offers an excellent balance of features and value, coming equipped with 19-inch wheels, adaptive cruise control, a 12.3-inch infotainment display, and eight-speak audio system, satellite radio, navigation, wireless charging, multi-zone climate control, a rear-passenger camera, that neat Passenger Talk intercom system, and a power liftgate. SX The SX trim adds ventilated front seats, driver’s seat and mirror memory settings, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, a blind-spot view monitor, and a surround-view camera. Exterior upgrades include power-folding mirrors and fog lights. SX Prestige Resting comfortably at the top of the trim hierarchy is the SX Prestige, which offers luxury features like leather upholstery, dual sunroofs, and a premium 12-speaker Bose audio system. Other highlights include a heated steering wheel, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with a built-in garage opener, and second-row VIP lounge seating with footrests.
