2022 Kia Carnival First Look: It's a "Multi-Purpose Vehicle," Not a Minivan
A couple of weeks ago we speculated that the new version of Kia's Sedona minivan would get a new name, and now it's official—Kia's new-for-2022 minivan will wear the 2022 Kia Carnival badge used in other markets, including South Korea. Oh, and it's not a minivan, it's a multi-purpose vehicle. And to judge from its slick new appearance, primary among those multiple purposes is not to get mistaken for a minivan.

Picking up where the Sedona left off, the 2022 Kia Carnival further blurs the line between minivan and SUV. The 2022 Kia Carnival elongated nose and bumper-to-dash-to-wheel ratio are distinctly SUV-like, as is the heavy chrome C-pillar treatment. The sliding-door tracks have been neatly integrated into the bodywork, and the whole concoction carries a cool Dodge Durango/Ford Explorer-ish vibe. Kia is to be congratulated: Few minivans—sorry, MPVs—carry off the pseudo-SUV look this well.

Is The 2022 Kia Carnival An MPV, Or A Minivan? Yes.

What’s this, a brand new family mover from Kia? Not quite. The minivan formerly known as the Sedona is getting a new lease of life as the fourth-generation will officially arrive stateside as the 2022 Kia Carnival. The new name for the American audience brings the minivan in line with how the rest of the world has known it for some time, and for Kia North America, it also serves to show just how big a leap forward the new generation is.

While US-market engine specifications haven’t been unveiled just yet, we expect the 2022 Kia Carnival to forgo the diesel engine available in foreign markets and make use of a 3.5-liter V6 producing 289 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque, channeled to the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

What Kia calls a ‘Grand Utility Vehicle’ will arrive in the United States at the beginning of 2022, sporting a new, rugged styling language that ensures it will stand out against the facelifted Chrysler Pacifica and the all-new Toyota Sienna. Larger proportions ensure that interior space grows, too, with reclining ‘Premium Relaxation Seats’ available in the second row and a maximum of 102.5 cubic feet of storage space. The 2022 Kia Carnival will also be one of the first Kia products to debut a massive dual 12.3-inch infotainment/instrumentation display, while tech features will include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a slew of driver assistance features to keep the whole family safe
