Kelley Blue Book
Kelley Blue Book’s team highly rated the Kia Carnival, awarding it 4.5 stars out of 5. They complimented the vehicle for its spacious interior, advanced safety features, and outstanding warranty.
“The Carnival is a well-thought-out and well-executed vehicle. Our owner reviews praise the space, looks, and features,” said reviewer Colin Ryan.
They also noted that its design incorporates aspects of Kia’s electric vehicle lineup.
“The Carnival is distinct from other minivans because of this SUV-like look, yet it still has practical minivan aspects like sliding side doors, ” said Ryan. “Revamped styling this year evokes Kia’s futuristic approach with its new EV9 all-electric 3-row SUV.”
Ryan shared that the team was really pleased with the car’s performance on the road. He emphasized its powerful 287 horsepower engine and the seamless transition between gears. Additionally, he noted the car’s sharp steering and reliable brakes.
Car and Driver
Car and Driver gave the Carnival an impressive 9 out of 10 score. They appreciated how its design smartly hides its minivan look, giving it more of an SUV feel.
“The 2025 model receives updates to its grille, headlamps, taillamps, wheels, and lower body panels inspired by the company’s new EV9 electric three-row crossover,” said Car and Driver’s Buyer’s Guide Managing Editor Drew Dorian.
The team also noted its stylish appearance and the solid performance of its V6 engine.
“On both long-haul road trips and short errands about town, the 287-hp V-6 engine delivers smooth power and decent fuel economy,” said Dorian.
Car and Driver rated the Carnival as the second-best minivan. The Toyota Sienna leading and the Honda Odyssey following closely behind.
“Kia offers many standard driver-assistance features, including lane-keeping assist, automatic high-beam headlamps, and blind-spot monitoring, all of which help the Carnival compete with the Pacifica, the Sienna, and the Honda Odyssey,” said Dorian.
During the test drive, the team exceeded the Environmental Protection Agency’s estimated miles per gallon by two mpg. According to their tests, they were also able to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in a mere seven seconds.
