2022 Kia Carnival Overview

The 2022 Kia Carnival is technically made from the same blueprint as the Kia Sedona, although it looks completely different from the previous years of the minivan. The Carnival is styled like an SUV would be with a box-like shape, which may be due to the success of the Telluride by the same brand. The proportions on the interior and the exterior are very similar to a crossover SUV, and the variety of features are just upscale enough. There are many standard safety features and a powerful V-6 engine to get you where you need or where you want to go.
