Our 2025 Kia Carnival SX Prestige has been so far an amazing ride. This car practically drives itself with the smoothest and quietest ride we have ever owned. Console is state of the art with every option available on a car of this class. This MVP looks and drives like an SUV with the 2025 body changes that gives it more of an SUV look instead of a mini van. Plenty of leg room as it is about 3 ft longer than the Telluride. Reclining captain chairs and a super roomy 3rd row seat make an awesome ride for our grandkids. I wish I could give it 6 stars.
5 months ownership

Pros: Excellent ride quality, adequate acceleration, comfortable seating, roomy interior, great tech and infotainment. Cons: Loose steering except in sport drive mode, long break travel, cruise control is slow to react to changes in elevation. Having owned my Kia Carnival for the past 5 months, I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a minivan.

We travel a lot(60k miles on our 2022). We looked and test drives several(Pacifica, Odyssey, Sienna), and came back the the Kia Carnival. For our needs, it's the perfect ride!
Won't start, less than 4,000 miles

Within the first couple months of having my brand new Kia carnival, it wouldn't start in the morning and has now been at the dealership for 5 days and they can't figure out what's wrong with it. I've been paying out of pocket for a rental car because they refused to let me use one of their vehicles as a loaner. This is my first Kia and also my last.

SX Prestige - Best Tech Package I have ever seen!

The vehicle itself just looks good and has more of an SUV/Crossover look than a Minivan look. Mine has the 2nd row VIP Lounge Seating since I just never haul enough people to need 8 seats. Tons of room and I have always liked the Kia 3rd row seats that stow in the floor. Pop them up and the cargo space goes from generous to huge. The Tech Package just tops anything I personally have seen. The user selectable functions and options literally took me hours to setup (did a software update while I was at it). You can opt to set up an in-vehicle wireless hotspot that will require a Verizon subscription once the 3 month free trial is over. That's the one shortcoming in my book; you can't set up a router WiFi connection. The update process requires downloading the package to a USB drive. It would be nice to download it directly to the vehicles' head unit but that's a minor issue I can live with.
