2024 Kia Carnival Carries (Your Whole Family) Over, Starts at $34,565

The Kia Carnival was our favored minivan upon its redesign (and rebadging from the Sedona) for the 2022 model year, and the automaker evidently has continued not to mess with a good thing. It enters 2024 with minor changes to its packaging and an equally minor adjustment to the cost of obtaining one. The minivan now will start at $34,565 (all pricing includes $1,365 destination).

For 2024, the Carnival EX variant no longer has the All-Auto Up/Down and Safety power windows, though the feature is still standard on the SX and SX Prestige trims. Eight-passenger versions of the EX also lose the Power Tailgate Delete Package; a hands-free power liftgate is still available, however.

The Carnival’s SUV-like exterior styling remains unaltered. The interior also carries over, with the base LX trim level getting an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; higher trims get a 12.3-inch system. Additionally, a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel is available on the SX and SX Prestige (a 4.2-inch cluster is standard). The SX Prestige trim can be equipped with reclining second-row leather captain’s chairs that feature pop-out footrests and a Bose 12-speaker premium audio system.

Standard safety equipment includes reverse parking distance warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a driver attention warning, lane-centering steering, safe exit assist and adaptive cruise control. Highway driving assist, forward collision warning and reverse automatic emergency braking are available.

Performance for the 2024 Carnival still comes from a 290-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine that’s paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive is standard. The 2024 Carnival gets an EPA-rated 19/26/22 mpg city/highway/combined.
