Kia Sustainability Plan
Kia is dedicated to advancing and expanding its efforts to achieve carbon neutrality, ensuring a future that’s not only brighter but also more sustainable.
“Our aim is to protect, prevent, and reduce the negative impact that movement has on nature,” said Kia President and CEO Ho Sung Song. “Every move we make, either big or small, will be made in a more sustainable way through innovation inspired by nature.”
Kia’s plan projects the company to be fully carbon neutral by 2045 and to switch to using only renewable energy worldwide by 2040. Stay tuned to find out more about Kia’s future plans!
Sustainability
Kia is gearing up for an all-electric future. The manufacturer is currently rolling out exciting new electric models like the EV6, Niro EV, and EV9. By 2026, Kia plans to offer 11 different electric cars, with all the European cars to be electric by 2035. The plan is to do the same in other big markets by 2040. Kia’s ultimate goal is to sell EVs worldwide exclusively by 2045.

RE: 100- All-Electric Future
Kia is committed to using only renewable energy for its manufacturing plants, aiming to reach this goal with the RE:100 initiative. By 2030, the company intends to operate all its factory vehicles on electricity. Additionally, Kia plans to set up solar panels at several of its global factories for clean power.

FCEVs
Kia’s CEO recently shared plans to release vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells by 2028. Additionally, Kia aims to incorporate hydrogen technology into its manufacturing process soon.
“To help foster a hydrogen society. We plan to use hydrogen fuel cell power generation technology as an energy source at all of our worksites over the mid-to-long term,” says Ho Sung Song.
Partnerships
Kia is collaborating with environmental protection organizations to improve the world. The two are working together to ensure Kia’s ecological impact is beneficial, aiming for a more sustainable future for everyone.
“We acknowledge that we are part of the problem. But we believe that we can also play a big part in the solution,” states Ho Sung Song.
The Ocean Cleanup
Kia has teamed up with The Ocean Cleanup to fight ocean plastic pollution. Thanks to their Cleanup System002, their efforts successfully removed 55 tons of plastic from the Pacific Ocean in August 2023. Kia plans to recycle this plastic, and some of it will be used in manufacturing upcoming vehicles. Additionally, the project installed devices at river mouths to prevent plastic from reaching the ocean.
Kia is committed to creating a better tomorrow by emphasizing sustainability. Its goal is to power manufacturing and vehicles entirely with electricity or other carbon-neutral methods. Moreover, it actively works with environmental cleanup efforts to ensure a brighter, more eco-friendly future.

Kia is preparing to launch the refreshed Carnival MPV in the summer of 2024. The refreshed 2025 model was unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show during a Kia press conference. At the same event, Kia’s Vice President of Marketing, Russell Wager, also introduced the updated Kia K5 sedan.
“The Kia lineup offers the choice of a great sedan, SUV, or EV for just about anyone,” said Wager.
After the reveal, car enthusiasts and reviewers got a chance to check out the Carnival Refresh. Below are some of their thoughts and opinions on the new vehicle.

Auto Buyers Guide
Over at Auto Buyers Guide, Travis had the opportunity to take an early look at the 2025 Kia Carnival.
“This is a fairly squared-out front grill. We do have some curves; we have some edges. But overall, this is a very different look than what you’d find across the Chrysler Pacifica or the Honda Odyssey, and even the Toyota Sienna,” said Travis. “This is part of what Kia is trying to do to distinguish this vehicle.”
He talked about the Carnival’s dark package that comes with darker colors on the wheels, mirror caps, roof rails, and trim. He’s also mentioned the car’s roomy storage area at the back, the expected fuel economy, and the advanced tech features.
“With the addition of the hybrid model, we’re not only going to get very similar power outputs but, ideally, significantly better fuel economy,” said Travis. “With the addition of the dark trim, we see a sportier way to present your Carnival.”

Car Confections
Drew and Mason Hardesty, who run the Car Confections YouTube channel, recently had the opportunity to take a sneak peek at the 2025 Carnival refresh. They shared some of the latest features so we can better understand what to expect.
“This has a pretty tough look for a minivan, and that’s deliberate because Kia wants this to look more SUV-like,” said Drew. “When it comes to automotive brands, Kia is perhaps one of the very best about making sure all their products stay fresh, up to date, and also have similar design elements that pass through them.”
They point out that the new design has similarities with the EV9, refreshed Sorento, and now the K5.
“It was already one of the best minivans when it comes to luxury,” said Mason.
Mason talked about how comfortable the back seats are. He says that they are the same size as last year’s Carnival. But he points out that the SX Prestige trim has special VIP lounge seats that are super comfortable. These seats have wing-style headrests and dual armrests and can recline back. They also have buttons on the side to control the power adjustments. He also shows the MPV’s two big entertainment screens for watching movies and a separate sunroof for the back seats.
“The rear occupants really have a super luxurious experience with this new model, especially if you choose the VIP seating package,” said Mason.

City Navigation
Getting around a crowded city can be difficult with so many vehicles and people on the streets. However, Kia Drive Wise has features that can help you move through town safely. The Auto Emergency Braking feature has sensors that use a camera or radar to detect pedestrians and cyclists and warn you if you’re getting too close. Junction-turning technology can also help you avoid accidents when turning corners. The Blind-Spot View Monitor gives you a live view of the lane next to you on your screen when you activate your turn signal. If there’s something in your blind spot, you’ll be alerted visually or audibly, and the system will help you stay in your lane if you start to turn. These safety features make you feel more confident and secure when driving in the city.

Highway Travel
Kia Drive Wise also helps you stay safe while driving on the highway. For example, the smart cruise control lets you choose how far you want to be from the car in front of you and can even stop and start your car automatically. Also, if you’re driving on certain federal highways, the system can help you keep a safe speed and distance by following the posted speed limits.
Parking
When parking in a tight spot, you can use a Surround View Monitor to see all around your car. But if it’s still too tight, you can use a Remote Smart Parking Assist from outside the vehicle to move your car back or forward into a spot. When you’re getting out of your car, a Safe Exit Warning will tell you if there’s another car coming, and some models will keep the back doors locked until it’s safe to open them.
Backing Up
Backing out from a parking spot can be challenging, but Kia’s safety tech has got you covered. Their Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist will alert you with sound and visual cues if any objects are behind you. If you get too close, the brakes will automatically apply to avoid any potential accidents. It’s an amazing safety feature that makes driving safer.
Kia Drive Wise has many safety features to keep you safe while driving. Whether in a busy city, on the highway, or in a crowded parking lot, these technologies help you understand your surroundings and make driving safer for everyone. If you’re looking for a Kia vehicle with these safety features, come to our dealership in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
