Now wider and paired with high-tech LED headlamps, Kia doesn’t want this MPV to look like another minivan. Kia Motors has been teasing a new generation for its vehicle design, starting with the swept back hood that the Kia Stinger made popular, and leading into the front fascia with a new modernized “tiger nose” grille. Made specifically to usher out the Kia Sedona minivan, this new MPV is lighter, stronger and quieter than its predecessor. The standard transmission is an 8-speed automatic transmission, and speaking of the engineering, the Carnival MPV was built on the same all-new 3rd generation “N3” platform as the capable Sorento and sporty K5. Not too fast, but powerful enough to tow up to 3500 pounds. torque, this is a good starting point for an MPV. Optimized with gasoline direct injection (GDI), and able to produce a best-in-class 290 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft.
All trims come with a 3.5-liter V6 engine under the hood. Said to be limited to just four trim levels - LX, EX, SX, and SX-Prestige – Kia kept it simple with a single powertrain combination. As if doing a 180°, Kia Motors completely changed gears and built a brand-new MultiPurpose Vehicle, named the Kia Carnival. The idea was like a hospital room on wheels, should the need arise when the curve was nowhere near flat. Well, that’s all good and well for businesses, delivery services, and mass- or individual-transit. After the first wave of the COVID-19, Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) and Kia Motors were in talks of designing Purpose-Built Vehicles (PBVs), or vehicles purposely built for a single application. Are you all ready for a new kind of vehicle? Sedans, SUVs, crossovers, even alternative fuel vehicle hybrids and electric vehicles (EVs) have come out over the years.
