Not a minivan

The Kia Carnival looks like an SUV but have everything a minivan would have. This vehicle provides the driver with the best visibility I have experienced in any other vehicle I have driven. The Kia Carnival also has great handling and throttle control.

The styling and flash of an SUV in a Van function!

Beyond a completely versatile functioning vehicle feel that beyond adds flash and style of that SUV look.

Impossible to Get More Than Two Keys! Don't Buy!

2023 Kia Carnival SX Prestige 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 8A)

I almost made a huge mistake in buying this vehicle. It has a lot of things that I like and I would have purchased if not for one thing. My family has five drivers. Every other car I've ever owned could get extra keys programmed for it. Expensive sometimes, but always possible. I've always had at least four keys for every vehicle I've ever owned. I never imagined that any car company would be stupid enough to prevent its owners from having extra keys. I was on the verge of getting a brand-new 2023 Carnival SX Prestige when I learned that I would NEVER be able to have more than two keys for it. It was so hard for me to believe that I did extensive research to confirm the limitation. In the end, I had to select a different brand of vehicle altogether. Don't make the same mistake I almost made. Do not buy a Kia until they let their customers have more than two keys!

I’m still getting use to my vehicle but I like it so far, used 2023. Great customer service from my car dealer. The only thing I was kinda upset about was when I was waiting for my car, he said they were detailing it, it wasn’t until I got home and looked in the back seat again, I saw that one of the seats and carpet still had what looked like dried up vomit or spilled food that wasn’t cleaned up, and I was told I was getting a free portable tire inflator which was no where to be found.
