New and used 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid for sale near Peapack and Gladstone, NJ

The Sales person listened to my concerns and was very thorough in explaining what was available and that was important to me. We have a car shortage and we will need to order the colors you requested. So I figured I come back in a weeks time let him do more investigating. When I came back the following week, we talk serious business and I was satisfied with the outcome on my leased Cadenza being turned in for a New Soul.

Bought in Dec 2024 with a great deal. We needed a new car to support 3 car seats. The two choices in the category are mainly between the Sienna and the Carnival. Why we chose the Carnival: Availability: You had to pre-order a Sienna or wait 6-9 months to get one. Pricing: The Sienna was on average $10k higher with comparable features and no ability to negotiate down the pricing. Driving: The Carnival is quite speedy off the line given it is a hybrid. We live in a very hilly area (Colorado). The Sienna really struggled and was very loud going up normal hills. Looks: The Carnival looks like an SUV (Chevy Traverse). The Sienna looks like your typical minivan. The Pearl white color is especially beautiful up close. Tech: Large entertainment screen makes reading text / maps very easy. Rear seat camera is nice to see what the kids are doing. Wireless charger, bluetooth CarPlay work great. Expanded rear view camera. Things we wish the Carnival had: AWD: The Sienna is available with AWD (although no models on the lot had it). Instead of AWD we spent $1700 on snow tires, which typically perform better than AWD and all-seasons tires. Auto-dimming mirror / Homelink in the EX trim. I purchased an OEM and installed it myself for ~$275. The dealer price was around $800. Sure wish a $40k car came with an auto dimming mirror when it comes with a rear seat camera! Concerns: Kia has that nice 10 year warranty, but I'm not sure how well the interior will hold up to 3 kids under 5. The Kia connect app also did not work upon purchase and it requires a factory reset at the dealer Overall: Happy with our purchase. It looks like an SUV but has the space and maneuverability of a minivan. It's fast off the line for a car that gets 36 MPG. It's got the tech of more expensive car. Given Toyota's significant number of recalls, I wouldn't default to Toyota as being the safer / nicer option. I don't think it is worth the extra $.

Had a good experience overall but was disappointed to discover that this dealership added $3000 in extra unnecessary fees onto the price of the vehicle listed. This made the price more in line with other sellers. So, it made the deal less enticing. Nevertheless, I was able to negotiate the removal of $1500 of the $3000 so, I did ultimately purchase the vehicle. The rest of the transaction went well. I very much appreciated working with my salesman Tony. He was very knowledgeable about the vehicle I purchased and was easy to deal with. I would recommend this dealer but would advise customers to look very carefully at their offer sheets before signing on the bottom line.

Our sales manager James (Jimmy) Kirchner was especially helpful. He explained everything clearly to us, got us a great deal, and provided a hassle free buying experience.

Cannot say enough about Howie and Motion Kia to buy a Telluride. Howie was patient, no pressure, and did not treat me like just another person. He took his time, made sure to get me the best deal and was a million times better than when I purchased a Telluride for my wife. Would recommend to all.

Great experience with Motion and the salesperson Jamie. Polite, professional and felt no pressure. She was able to answer all our questions and get the order in for our Telluride. The Telluride was delivered ahead of the promised time and there were no delivery issues. Very easy and pleasant car buying experience.

Jeff at hyundai was very nice. I went to see what would be my options to release. He showed me exactly what I ask for and the information he gave me was helpful.

No pressure approach, honest opinions and suggestions from the sales representative. Car was promised and delivered on time. No issues with this transaction and I would visit this dealership and salesman again.

Thank you Alex Ramirez for all your help with my lease. Great salesman, what a professional didn't mind working late, made sure we left that very night with a vehicle. Thank you again Alex Ramirez!!!!

The salesman, Johnny Brown, was very personable. He didn't pressure us to do anything which was refreshing. The dealership, however, added approximately $4,000 to the price for miscellaneous fees (not including tax) which if very high in my opinion. We were able to come to an agreement, but feel we maybe should have paid a little less. The care needed a small touchup in two places and an A was missing from elantra . Still waiting for the "a" to arrive as well as touch-up paint.

Came in as walk in without an appointment, it was Anthony that met me at the door. Very punctual and understanding, he was very patient with me from beginning to end running all the numbers for us so I could get the best deal that suited me. Even when initially I left to get prices from other dealerships he was very understanding and encouraged me to see all my options. If not for his persistence and positive attitude I would not have bought a car at Riverdale. So a thank you to everyone that worked with him to help make this deal possible, I am satisfied in all aspects with my new car and I would come back again when I decide to upgrade in the future.

My experience was amazing!! Kevin Lebron and the whole team were incredible. Very professional and inviting. I was beyond excited to get my leased Sportage and they made it happen, smoothly and accurately. I won't go anywhere else from now on.

My entire transaction start to finish was excellent. Kevin was an excellent salesman. Took care of every one of our needs.

**Chef Gregory Adams' Review of Riverdale KIA** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dear Riverdale KIA Team, I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the incredible experience I had with Peter at Riverdale KIA, located in the delightful suburbs of Northern New Jersey, a community filled with wonderful families and friends. As a celebrity chef with over two decades on the Food Channel USA, I’ve built my career on the values of hospitality, professionalism, and integrity. Connecting with millions has taught me the importance of exceptional service, especially in a demanding profession like mine. Recently, I ventured into the world of car buying, which has its own set of challenges. After countless visits to various dealerships, I found a gem in Peter at Riverdale KIA! Even though I live on the Upper East Side in NYC, a single phone call with him convinced me that a 45-mile drive to Riverdale KIA was worth it for my new KIA K5 GT. From the moment I stepped onto the lot, I was welcomed with warm smiles and a genuine sense of belonging. It felt like being among friends! Peter and the team took the time to truly understand my needs, guiding me through a selection of vehicles that perfectly matched my preferences. Peter's extensive knowledge and passion for customer service transformed the entire process into an enjoyable, informative experience. What stood out most was the professionalism and integrity demonstrated by everyone at Riverdale KIA. Their transparency and commitment to customer satisfaction shone through in every interaction. It was clear that building lasting relationships was their priority, rather than just making a sale. Whenever I had questions or concerns, they addressed them patiently and thoroughly. Peter's unwavering dedication to ensuring my happiness made all the difference. He accommodated my schedule and made the paperwork process seamless. It’s evident that the entire organization genuinely cares about their customers. If you’re in the market for a vehicle, I wholeheartedly recommend visiting Riverdale KIA—an award-winning dealership! Be sure to seek out Big Pete; his expertise and friendly demeanor will guarantee you an outstanding car-buying experience. Thank you, Pete, for making this journey so enjoyable and memorable! As a token of my appreciation, I’ll be bringing a Kobe beef ribeye steak for Big Peter to enjoy. After all, it’s all about friendship! P.S. When you visit, keep an eye out for the spilled coffee at his desk! 😁☕️ Warm regards, Chef Gregory Adams

Nice dealership to deal with I did not purchase the car I was looking at for my own reasons. Jordy was very helpful and not your typical salesman. I would definitely recommend the dealership.
