Technology is a standout feature in the 2025 Kia Carnival, making it a joy for both drivers and passengers. The standard infotainment system includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, multiple USB ports, and a crisp audio system.

The Carnival’s user-friendly interface and advanced features ensure a connected, convenient driving experience, whether you’re commuting in Yarmouth or embarking on a road trip across the Maritimes.
Exterior Design
The 2025 Carnival’s exterior design continues to impress with its SUV-inspired aesthetic. The vehicle’s bold lines and streamlined profile give it a distinctive look that stands apart from traditional minivans. With features like alloy wheels, roof rails, and sliding side doors, the Carnival balances practicality with elegance. Its refreshed front grille and updated LED lighting system further enhance its modern appeal, making it a vehicle that’s as stylish as it is functional.
Interior Comfort and Cargo Space
Inside, the Carnival offers a spacious and comfortable environment tailored for families. Depending on the configuration, the vehicle can seat seven or eight passengers, with second-row seats that recline for added comfort. Premium trims provide luxurious options like leather upholstery and ventilated seats. The Carnival excels in versatility, boasting up to 4,110 litres of cargo space when the rear seats are folded flat. This makes it ideal for everything from grocery runs to long trips, where ample storage is a must. With tri-zone climate control and multiple storage compartments, the Carnival ensures a comfortable and convenient experience for all passengers.
Engine and Performance
Under the hood, the 2025 Kia Carnival is powered by a robust 3.5-litre V6 engine, delivering 290 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth acceleration and reliable performance. The Carnival’s fuel efficiency is another highlight, offering a combined consumption rate of 10.6 L/100 km. It also has a towing capacity of up to 3,500 lbs, making it capable of handling small trailers or boats. Whether navigating city streets or cruising along Nova Scotia’s scenic highways, the Carnival delivers a balanced mix of power and efficiency.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety has always been a priority for the Kia Carnival, and the 2025 model is no exception. Standard features include lane-keeping assist, forward collision-avoidance assist, and blind-spot monitoring. Optional systems, such as smart cruise control and a surround-view camera, are available on higher trims to enhance driver confidence. The Carnival has been recognized for its safety innovations, with its 2021–2024 models earning accolades from J.D. Power and IIHS Top Safety Picks. These awards underscore Kia’s commitment to providing safe, family-friendly vehicles that meet the highest industry standards.
