10 Impressive Features of the New 2022 Kia Carnival

The new 2022 Kia Carnival is an all-new minivan with SUV-like styling, suitable for anyone looking for a fully-featured people mover at an affordable price. The minivan is popular with large families and is considered an attractive alternative to a three-row SUV. Check out some of the top features here.

1. Value for Money

The 2022 Carnival is one of the most affordable minivans in the class. From the base model through the three upper-tier trims, the 2022 Carnival offers extras and features that are unavailable in most of the competition, including three-row SUVs.

2. Passenger Capacity

The base model, the 2022 Carnival LX, seats seven passengers with ample personal space. Depending on the configuration, other trims can seat a maximum of eight passengers.

3. Upmarket Styling

From a modern and sleek exterior design to a well-equipped interior, the 2022 Carnival oozes fashionable and upmarket styling. The interior build is excellent, and the cabin features a fully-featured infotainment system.

4. Drivetrain Powerhouse

All models of the 2022 Carnival are powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that produces a healthy 290 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. The V-6 is paired with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission that boasts driver-selectable modes. The minivan is available exclusively with front-wheel drive.

5. Cargo and Towing Capacity

The 2022 Carnival has a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds and a cargo capacity to match. The minivan can fit around 14 standard carry-on suitcases behind the third row of seats. With all seats folded down, the Carnival has enough space to carry approximately 50 standard carry-on suitcases.

6. Balanced Ride

The 2022 Carnival delivers an excellent driving experience and a comfortable ride for passengers. The well-balanced chassis provides the basis for a suspension system that is firm and stable while remaining soft enough to keep road imperfections from upsetting passengers. The brakes are more than capable when the vehicle is fully loaded. Overall, the Carnival delivers a smooth ride when cruising at higher speeds or when getting around in the city.

7. Easy Access

The 2022 Carnival is spacious, versatile, and easy to get in and out of. The Carnival’s exterior design makes the rear sliding doors look smaller than they actually are. The rear doors slide open for easy passenger access, and the optional hands-free power rear liftgate makes it all that much easier to load and unload cargo.

8. Driver-Assistance Tech

Every model of the 2022 Carnival comes with a host of driver-assistance features as standard including automatic emergency braking, safe exit assist, and lane-keeping assist. Optional driver aids include a rear camera monitoring system and adaptive cruise control.

9. Fuel Economy

Drivers can expect to earn 19 mpg when getting around town and 26 mpg on the highway. On a full tank of gas, the 2022 Carnival has a range of just over 260 miles for city driving and close to 500 miles on the open road.

10. Upmarket Infotainment

An 8-inch touchscreen is standard on the base LX trim, but all other models come with a huge 12.3-inch touchscreen. The infotainment system is coupled with a quality six-speaker sound system that is swapped out for a 12-speaker Bose audio system in the premium SX-Prestige trim. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity are standard. Optional extras include an interior intercom system that allows passengers to control the system with voice commands.
