Kia Carnival generations

The large, comfortable, and family-friendly Kia Carnival is rightly considered one of the best family minivans. Among its undeniable advantages are its capacity, the ability to transform the interior, an extended list of standard equipment, and, of course, an affordable price. The Kia Carnival is perfect for family trips or tours around Israel in a large group, as well as a company car.

The first generation of the Kia Carnival appeared in 1998. At that time, it was a 5-door, 7-seater wagon, which was already equipped with an anti-lock braking system and two airbags. The second generation minivan, produced from 2005 to 2014, came with an extended list of electronic assistants and side and head airbags. The third generation 2014 Kia Carnival became much more attractive in design. The minivan received an extended wheelbase, a different powertrain, and a couple of interior variations.

The 2023 fourth-generation Kia Carnival emerged in 2021. Now, it is a 7-seater car with 3.5-liter V6 petrol engines or a 2.2-liter diesel. Dimensions: length 5155 mm, width 1995 mm, height 1785 mm. The wheelbase has been increased by 30 mm to 3090 mm, which positively affects the interior space and trunk volume. The Koreans proudly call the new Kia Carnival a cross-van.

In Israel, the 2023 Kia Carnival is offered with a 7-seater interior, featuring two large displays (each 12.3 inches in diagonal), combined into one digital space. The central screen displays a feed from an internal camera, allowing not only to watch the passengers but also communicate with them through an internal intercom. The second row is a 2-seater, with movable seats that can tilt and rotate 180 degrees. The third-row seats, designed for three, move backward and forward. For passengers, there are outlets and cupholders.

Standard features include LED headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, and a rearview camera. Safety is ensured with seven airbags, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, automatic braking, lane-keeping assist, pedestrian detection, and other features. The Premium package also offers two large sunroofs.

The Kia Carnival is perfect for large Israeli families. This comfortable vehicle provides a large number of seating places, easily transporting passengers and luggage. It seamlessly combines elegance, practicality, and high functionality.
