Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The Carnival's dashboard and front-seat area appears more modern and accommodating than the outgoing Sedona's. A large center console and an optional Mercedes-style dual-screen infotainment system with a digital gauge display are notable design changes. The photos provided are of an upscale SX-Prestige trim with leather upholstery; cloth seats are likely to be standard. Kia will offer a panoramic sunroof and lounge-like reclining second-row seats with pop-up footrests as options. Kia says that interior spaciousness has been improved on the new Carnival; both the van's wheelbase and overall length have been stretched to provide more room for people and cargo.

Overview
The makeover of Kia's minivan is such a dramatic one that it even includes an all-new name: Carnival. The 2022 Carnival replaces the aging Sedona in Kia's lineup and its boxy SUV-like styling is no accident, as the Korean automaker aims to capitalize on the success of its critically-acclaimed and hot-selling Telluride SUV. Large wheels, crossover-like proportions, and signature daytime running lights that flow into the grille give the van an upscale-SUV vibe that reminds us of a Range Rover. All Carnival models are powered by a 290-hp 3.5-liter V-6 engine with front-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. A host of driver-assistance features are offered as standard including automated emergency braking. Infotainment tech gets an upgrade as well with an optional dual-display setup with digital gauges and a navigation-equipped center touchscreen. Look for the Carnival on dealer lots in spring, 2021.

What's New for 2022?
The Carnival is all-new for 2022, with updated styling, features, and technology to help it better compete with the likes of the Chrysler Pacifica, Honda Odyssey, and newly redesigned Toyota Sienna minivans.

The Carnival will be offered in four trim levels ranging from the value-oriented LX to the deluxe SX-Prestige. Kia hasn't released pricing for any of the Carnival models yet, but it appears as though the EX represents the sweet spot between features and price; it comes with several convenience features that help to justify the cost of upgrading, including a power-operated rear liftgate, an in-cabin intercom, and a voice-control system that allows rear-seat passengers to provide commands to the Carnival's infotainment system.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The 2022 Carnival is powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 churning out a healthy 290-hp; an eight-speed automatic transmission is standard. All-wheel drive, unfortunately, is not on the menu, as the Carnival will be offered only as a front-wheel drive model. The Pacifica has an optional plug-in-hybrid powertrain and the new-for-2021 Sienna comes only as a hybrid, but we don't expect Kia to offer such a setup on the Carnival, at least not right away. Kia says the Carnival can tow up to 3500 pounds. When we get a chance to take the Carnival to our test track, we'll update this story with test results and driving impressions.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
Fuel-economy ratings from the EPA for the 2022 Carnival are 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined, which are slightly better than the 2021 Sedona's numbers. When we get a 2022 Carnival in for testing, we'll subject it to our 200-mile highway fuel-economy test to see how it stacks up against the Pacifica, Odyssey, and Sienna.

Infotainment and Connectivity
Interior technology and infotainment takes to take a big leap forward in the 2022 Carnival. While a single 8.0-inch infotainment screen is standard, dual 12.3-inch displays that stretch across two-thirds of van's dashboard are optional, with one serving as a digital gauge display and the other performing infotainment duties. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will both be standard features and we expect to see onboard Wi-Fi on that list as well. Kia boasts that there will be up to nine USB ports throughout the Carnival's cabin. A 12-speaker Bose stereo will be offered as an option.
