The 2025 Carnival Hybrid combines advanced powertrain technology with thoughtful family features, establishing a new standard for efficient family transportation. This new addition to the Carnival lineup brings practical innovation to every journey.
Smart Powertrain Technology
At the heart of the Carnival Hybrid lies a sophisticated powertrain combining a 1.6L turbocharged engine with a 54kW electric motor. This system delivers 242 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque while achieving impressive efficiency ratings: 6.9L/100 km city, 7.6L/100 km highway, and 7.2L/100 km combined. Drivers can optimize efficiency through adjustable regenerative braking levels using steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
Intelligent Space Solutions
Interior versatility defines the Carnival Hybrid's approach to family transportation. The SX trim offers two distinct configurations: premium seven-passenger seating with VIP captain's chairs or an eight-passenger layout with a removable second-row bench. Power sliding doors and a hands-free liftgate simplify access, while thoughtful storage solutions throughout the cabin accommodate daily family needs.
Connected Experience
The 12.3-inch panoramic navigation screen pairs with a matching 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, creating an intuitive command center. Digital Key 2.0 transforms smartphones into vehicle keys, while Kia Connect enables remote features, including engine start and climate control adjustment. Over-the-air updates ensure systems remain current without dealer visits.
