2022 Kia Carnival (Up to 11-Seat) - Big MPV!

This is the new 2022 Kia Carnival which can be configured with up to 11-seat seating capacity which makes it one of the biggest MPV of the segment. Checkout its interior and exterior design, features, safety and tech overview in this video.

The all-new 2022 Kia Carnival takes over from the Sedona minivan, or MPV (multi-purpose vehicle). We live in an era so dominated by SUVs and crossovers that perhaps some people have forgotten that the MPV — or minivan — still exists. But the Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, and Chrysler Pacifica are still meeting the particular needs of large families.

The Sedona was doing that as well and making a darn good job of it. But now it’s been superseded by the 2022 Carnival, a new generation of MPV.

Kia wants to tweak the MPV/minivan terminology because, well, the minivan world isn’t as exciting as ridiculously high-powered versions of sport sedans or jaw-droppingly capable trucks. And the MPV name doesn’t have quite the same suburban baggage as the minivan label.

However, when the time comes to transport up to eight occupants in safety and comfort, something like the new Carnival — with class-leading interior and cargo space — is going to be an excellent choice. It comes with a lot of advanced safety features as standard and ups the reassurance factor with an unbeatable 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
2022 Kia Carnival Pricing

The 2022 Carnival MPV lineup starts with LX trim, whose Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is $32,300, plus a destination charge.

The other trim levels are EX, SX and SX Prestige. This last model tops the Carnival MPV range at $46,300 before options.

These figures make the 2022 Carnival competitive with the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna — really the big two in the MPV category. The Odyssey begins at just over $33K and the Sienna is more than $35K. The Chrysler Pacifica is even pricier. Before buying, check the KBB.com Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area paid for their new Carnival.

Honda and Toyota tend to top the resale value tables. The Carnival MPV is totally new this year and seems more desirable than the Sedona it replaces, which should have a beneficial effect on resale values. The Sedona could only match the Pacifica.

Standard Features:

The most affordable 2022 Carnival minivan, the LX, comes with keyless entry/ignition, cloth upholstery, seating for seven, sliding and removable second-row seats, front and rear air conditioning, powered sliding side doors with hands-free operation.

The amount of standard safety systems is comforting. They include forward-collision avoidance, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assistance, automatic high beams, driver attention monitoring, rear parking sensors, rear occupant alert, and a safe exit feature (see our Safety section).

The LX’s infotainment system is controlled by an 8-inch touchscreen, includes wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration, Bluetooth connectivity for multiple devices, six USB ports, and a 6-speaker audio setup.

Engine & Transmission:

A naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 (no turbos or superchargers) endows the 2022 Carnival with 290 horsepower. An 8-speed automatic transmission sends that drive to the front wheels.

A couple of minivans offer all-wheel drive, but not the Carnival. If that’s an important consideration, check out the Toyota Sienna or go for a full-on 3-row SUV like the Kia Telluride.

Maximum towing capacity of the 2022 Carnival MPV is 3,500 pounds.
