New and used 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid for sale near San Diego, CA

I got an appointment right away. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the service was fast. The car wash is a nice touch. I would recommend them to friends and family.

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 $.

This is the third time I came to Kearny Mesa Kia, the staff here were super kind and professional and help me to find the car that I was looking for.

Great service as always. That's it so I am typing to get the required 25 words to be able to submit this review, which is really annoying Cars.com makes you do this.

Smooth and easy service. Attendant Johnny was clear in his communication. Explained why the services were necessary but wasn?t pushy to do certain services.

Great experience dealing with Virginia. Very helpful and informative with what I needed done to my vehicle. Look forward to dealing with Virginia in the future with all our services for this and all other vehicles.

I worked with sales person Ryan Munesato. This experience was top-notch the best I’ve ever had in my 30 years of buying cars. Ryan was a good listener, he never pressured me to do something I was uncomfortable with, and I left the dealership with a car. I was excited about and could afford.

It went down exactly as planned… I went in , drove the car, and prestos made an offer!!! after some financial hassel’s, I got the car it was beautiful !!! Now I know it was suppose to go a little smoother. But it turned out very good.
