Kia has announced pricing for its new Carnival minivan. It’s significantly more expensive across the board. It’s expected to cost about $2,900 more on average, but the top-of-the-line SX Prestige will see a $3,900 price increase starting in 2024.
The least expensive Carnival now starts at $37,895. You’ll get the LX trim with a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that makes 287 horsepower, driving the front wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Seven-passenger seating is standard, as are a power-sliding rear door, three-zone climate control and 17-inch alloy wheels.
On the tech side, the entry-level LX has a 12.3-inch touchscreen and supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Kia also includes a suite of driver-assistance systems like automatic emergency braking, blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-keeping assist, among others. So while it’s $2,900 more than last year, you’re getting a lot for your money.

On the other side of the equation is the SX Prestige, which is $3,900 more expensive than last year. At this level, you get standard heated and ventilated leather seats, dual 12.3-inch panoramic screens, LED headlights, larger wheels, more cameras, a head-up display, and more driver-assistance systems. The basic features—namely the V-6 engine and three-row seating—remain the same.
You’ll need to step up to the new hybrid model for 2025 for a much different experience. In place of the six-cylinder, there’s a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder connected to a 54-kW motor. The system produces a combined 242 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque, which is sent to the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. This isn’t a plug-in hybrid, so there’s no electric-only range, and there are no fuel-mileage estimates available yet.
The standard model is available to order now. The Carnival Hybrid will be available at dealerships this fall.
