The white exterior is complemented by body-color bumpers and a textured bumper applique, giving the vehicle a polished appearance.
Inside, the three-row configuration makes full use of available space, featuring front bucket seats with heating capability and a reconfigurable rear seating arrangement. The driver benefits from power-adjustable seating and a telescoping steering wheel, while the leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob add a touch of refinement. Climate control extends throughout all three rows with automatic temperature management and dedicated rear air conditioning.
Technology integration keeps occupants connected with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an integrated navigation system.

An overhead console houses the trip computer and compass for added utility.
Safety is addressed through a comprehensive airbag system that includes dual front impact airbags, dual front side impact airbags, knee airbags, and overhead airbags for all three rows. Electronic stability control, traction control, and four-wheel independent suspension work together to maintain control in various driving conditions. The system also includes automatic high-beam headlights and a low tire pressure warning system to help you stay aware.
The cargo tray accommodates your everyday needs, while the power liftgate makes loading and unloading effortless. Heated door mirrors and a rear window wiper with variably intermittent wipers handle visibility in changing weather. The reclining third-row seat and split-folding rear seating arrangement provide flexibility for both passengers and cargo configurations.

Wonderful family hauler
By BigFamCarnival on 9/3/2025 1:33:27 PM
Having a family of 8 I went with the gasoline EX version, knowing I would have a pretty heavy payload every day with all seats occupied. There is plenty of room for everyone, lots of usb charge ports, and after coming from a vehicle with zero safety assist features, they are actually really nice. I haven't noticed any weird glitches after the first 5,000 miles so far. Interior and exterior are extremely sharp, I get tons of attention at kids school or out shopping or stuff like that. Gas MPG isn't so great but if I'm really careful I can hold about 27-30mpg on the highway. All the seats are comfortable and spacious including for rear and front facing car seats. - 5.0
The greatest looking van on the planet!
By El Chileno on 5/21/2024 4:59:19 PM
We owned our fantastic Oldsmobile van for 23 1/2 years. It was time to let her go. My wife insisted on another van, but nothing caught her fancy until I spotted this Kia Carnival van. She immediately fell in love with it. She loved the handling and commented how she did not need a break in period. The driving of it was very natural for her. We bought the highest model and trim. Very luxurious. I call it the James Bond Van. Absolutely love it!
