New Kia Carnival for Sale near Princeton

New Kia Carnival for Sale near Princeton, NJ

With its cavernous accommodations, appealing amenities, abundant practicality, and distinctive SUV-like styling, the Kia Carnival transcends traditional labels. Kia's "MPV" (multi-purpose vehicle) is among the most versatile models in its segment and a compelling alternative to the conventional family mover. A recent midcycle refresh has made the Carnival even better, including upgraded infotainment, a sharp new look, and a new hybrid powertrain option. Princeton-area drivers can buy or lease a new Kia Carnival here at Ciocca Kia in Flemington.

Performance

Despite being the automaker's largest model, the Kia Carnival gets up to speed quickly and confidently. Under the hood, a 3.5-liter V6 engine provides ample propulsion (290 horsepower, 262 pound-feet of torque), while a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission helps optimize responsiveness and efficiency. A well-tuned suspension system and balanced chassis give the Carnival a smooth ride and impressive driving dynamics for its class.

A new hybrid powertrain has joined the Carnival lineup, beginning with the 2025 model year. Available for trims above the base model, this electric-assisted 1.6-liter turbo-four generates 242 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque. It also helps the Carnival achieve an EPA-estimated 33 mpg in combined city/highway driving.¹

Interior and Practicality

The Kia Carnival is roomy and accommodating, offering refined styling, cozy seats, and the largest passenger area in its class (168.2 cubic feet). The second row provides multiple configuration options via the available Slide-Flex middle seat. Standard in LXS and higher trims, the seat can be moved forward, allowing the front passenger to reach a child seat more easily. It can also be folded to create a second-row table and cupholders. Standard Smart Power Doors and an available Smart Power Tailgate deliver even more convenience, opening and closing automatically for convenient interior access, even when your arms are full.

With all seats in use, the Kia Carnival reserves an expansive 40.2 cubic feet of cargo capacity. When your Princeton errands or adventures require even more storage, you can fold the rear seats to access 87 cubic feet behind the second row and 145.1 cubic feet behind the first.

Technology

A recent midcycle refresh has upgraded the Kia Carnival's infotainment system to a large 12.3-inch touchscreen, which is standard in all models. It also added wireless capability for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, enabling clutter-free integration of smartphone features like hands-free calls and messages, music, streaming media, Google or Apple Maps, and more. SX and SX Prestige trims also get a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, forming a stunning panoramic driver-focused display. Several family-focused technologies are available throughout the lineup, including a Passenger View night vision interior camera, a Passenger Talk intercom, and a dual-screen Rear Seat Entertainment System.

Kia Drive Wise

While there's no replacement for attentive driving, it's nice to know you have support to help mitigate unexpected hazards. And because your family's safety isn't optional, every Kia Carnival comes standard with an extensive roster of advanced driver aids.
