There’s Not a Single Bad Seat In the Carnival (Not Even In the 3rd Row)
The problem with 3-row SUVs is that there’s always that one seat no one wants, causing headache-inducing arguments whenever it’s time to get everyone in the car. That’s now a thing of the past. The new 2025 Carnival is carefully designed with every single passenger in mind, even those all the way in the back. Finally, everyone can be happy!
The second row of seats in the Carnival can recline for a relaxing drive, and they can easily slide back and forth for greater accessibility. When there’s no one to take the middle seat, the back of the chair can fold down into a useful tray complete with cup holders. Add heating and ventilation with power adjustments, cable plug-ins, and storage compartments, and the rear seats give off front-seat vibes. Much of what we just mentioned is also available for third-row passengers, so there’s no reason to play rock-paper-scissors for seat privileges.
As expected, the Carnival’s front row also offers heating and ventilation for everyone’s comfort. The driver’s seat gets 12-way power adjustments with memory seating for families with more than one designated driver. When you step up from the base model, everyone can enjoy either leatherette or full leather seats!
The New Kia Carnival Is Incredibly Spacious For Passengers and Cargo
There’s no question that everyone in the Carnival has a cozy place to sit, but there’s also plenty of head and legroom to avoid cramped and stiff bodies. Take a look at these dimensions:
|
Front Row |
● Headroom: 40.9 inches ● Legroom: 41.1 inches |
|
Second Row |
● Headroom: 39.5 inches ● Legroom: 40.5 inches |
|
Third Row |
● Headroom: 38 inches ● Legroom: 35 inches |
The 2025 Carnival is also pretty generous on trunk space, offering best-in-class maximum cargo capacity. You get 40 cubic feet with all seats upright, 87 cubic feet behind the second row, and a whopping 145 cubic feet behind the first row. With this amount of cargo space, the Carnival will end up being your go-to vehicle come moving day. Just keep in mind that the specific dimensions may change for the upcoming Carnival hybrid model being offered at just around $2k more.
Critics Have Finally Found the Standard For Convenience Factor
The perfect family SUV should be equipped to handle everyone’s needs. The 2025 Kia Carnival offers plenty of convenience-focused features and amenities for every passenger along for the ride. Power-sliding doors come standard in the Carnival which makes it easy to load up everyone without the struggle of manual doors. Tri-zone automatic climate control also comes standard so you no longer have to blindly point the vents towards the back, repeating, “Can you feel the AC?” over and over until you get the angle just right.
