Performance

The Carnival's standard 3.5-liter V6 produces 290 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, giving you smooth, confident acceleration for highway merging and passing. Its 8-speed automatic transmission shifts seamlessly, while the finely tuned suspension and steering enable balanced handling and a comfortable ride.

Decatur drivers who prioritize efficiency can look to the Kia Carnival Hybrid. This model combines a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor to deliver 242 horsepower, 271 pound-feet of torque, while achieving an EPA-estimated 33 mpg combined (34 city/31 highway).

Interior and Practicality

Inside, the Carnival impresses with its generous space, premium finishes, and smart versatility. With a total passenger volume of 168.2 cubic feet, everyone has room to relax. Available on LXS and above, the Slide-Flex middle seat in the second row can slide forward for easy child seat access or fold into a convenient table with built-in cupholders.

Smart Power Sliding Doors and an available Smart Power Tailgate make loading and unloading simple, even when your hands are full. Cargo capacity is excellent, with 40.2 cubic feet behind the third row and 87 cubic feet behind the second. When your Springfield outings require maximizing storage, you can fold all rear seats for a cavernous 145.1 cubic feet.
