You live and breathe for your family. There's nothing you wouldn't do for your little ones, especially regarding their safety. Luckily, the engineers of the Kia Carnival share this value, which is why it comes standard with more than a dozen driver-assistance features.

These safety technologies act as your virtual safety net, always looking out for any potential hazards you may have missed. Features included in this advanced safety suite are:

• Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
• Lane Keep Assist System
• And much more!

Whether you're heading to your family's favourite ice cream shop or your daughter's soccer game, the Kia Carnival's advanced safety features will get you to your destination safely.

Knowing your Kia Carnival has all the advanced features needed to avoid inattentive drivers and pedestrians, you'll find that each commute will be as amusing as the attractions found at a carnival.

This minivan is a technological marvel, equipped with standard and available entertainment features like:

• Smartphone integration: Queue your kids' playlist using Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ wireless integration.
• Premium audio system: Thanks to the 12 strategically placed speakers, everyone can hear crystal-clear audio.
• Ample charging opportunities: A wireless charging pad, power ports, and multiple USB charging ports means all devices will remain charged.

After a long day at the soccer field, your rising star might be out cold by the time you hit the highway. With the available Passenger View Monitor, you can sneak a peek at the back row without ever taking your eyes off the road. Mounted up high, the in-cabin camera gives you a clear view of every nap, snack, or sibling squabble--no head-turning required.

Forget everything you thought you knew about minivans--the Kia Carnival is rewriting the rules. Unlike its traditional counterparts, the Kia Carnival showcases a sporty exterior that draws inspiration from rugged SUVs rather than conventional minivans.

Like the star attraction, your Kia Carnival is ready to capture attention with its captivating curves and sharp body contours. On the inside, you can expect the same level of character. Plush seats that hug your body are draped in brilliant colours like Tuscan Brown or Navy.

The forward-thinking design of the Kia Carnival sets it apart from the crowd with its undeniable charisma.

Weekends are made for adventure. Your kids understand this more than most, all thanks to your outgoing personality. You always search for great kid-friendly attractions and plan day trips to popular locations. You'll hear nothing but silence from the back seats on even the longest trips, thanks to the cabin dimensions designed to help everyone relax:

• Second & third-row legroom: 1,029/903 mm (40.5/35.6 in.)
• Second & third-row hip room: 1,686/1,280 mm (66.4/50.4 in.)

You and your spouse can enjoy similarly spacious dimensions in the front row with the added benefit of optional heated and ventilated seats.

As if that's not enough, the Carnival continues to give! Your kids will feel like MVPs thanks to the VIP Lounge Seating. When optionally equipped, these seats recline and extend a footrest--perfect for naps after a day at the park!

Just as the thrilling rides of a carnival leave attendees with smiles and unforgettable memories, the Kia Carnival impresses with its performance capabilities. A 3.5L engine comes standard across all trim levels, meaning you never have to upgrade to experience the front-row excitement of your favourite rides.

Check out some of the capabilities produced by this powerhouse of an engine:

• Horsepower: 288 HP
• Torque: 260 lb-ft
• Max towing when properly equipped: 1,588 kg (3,500 lbs.)

Power like this will excite your family for all commutes, even morning drop-offs at school.

With the power produced by the Kia Carnival, it's no surprise you're eager to take the scenic route home. As you navigate through bustling streets and winding roads, you'll feel like a skilled performer on the main stage, showcasing the agility and precision of this minivan's capabilities.

Advanced front and rear suspension systems make for a smooth commute, even on bumpy roads, and the 8-speed automatic transmission enables near-instant responses to throttle inputs.

When you're out and about, the last thing on your mind is the gas station--especially when you have the Kia Carnival's estimated 12.9 city/8.8 highway L/100km rating.* If you're looking to maximize every drop of fuel, consider the Carnival HEV (hybrid electric vehicle).

Offering the same features you love about the gas configuration, this HEV offers short-term zero-emission driving for an optimized efficiency experience.
