2022 Kia Carnival

The Kia Sedona has long been the vehicle of choice for busy families and other individuals who need the comfort, convenience, and flexibility that only a minivan can offer. However, after a 20-year run, the Kia Sedona is now being replaced by the all-new 2022 Kia Carnival. This fully-redesigned minivan takes everything that you loved about the Kia Sedona and puts it into a more stylish and modern package.

Comfort

The 2022 Kia Carnival is built with convenience and comfort in mind. Every aspect of this vehicle has been designed to make your busy life easier and provide you with all the features you and your passengers need in your daily adventures. Right off the bat, the standard power-sliding rear doors provide a level of functionality that no SUV can offer, making it easy to load and unload kids and cargo even in tight spaces. The Carnival also offers a best-in-class passenger and cargo space, giving it room for everyone and everything to fit comfortably wherever you are going. In fact, with 145.1 cubic feet of available cargo space, the 2022 Kia Carnival offers more usable room than even the massive Chevy Suburban or GMC Yukon XL.

Ride in Comfort

The first thing you will notice inside the new Carnival is the impressively comfortable seating. This vehicle comes standard with seven-passenger seating and cloth upholstery in the base LX trim, but every other trim includes eight-passenger seating with durable SynTex or luxurious genuine leather upholstery. The SX Prestige trim goes even further and includes VIP Lounge Seats with wing-out headrests and leg extensions so that your passengers can kick back in style.

In every trim, the second-row seats are sliding, folding, and removable, giving you the ability to customize the seating to fit your needs. If you are riding with small children, slide the seats forward for easy access from the front row - but if you have teenagers or your parents with you, you can slide the seats back and have over 40 inches of legroom. Even the third row is far from inhospitable with its over 35 inches of legroom - as much as many SUVs offer in their second rows.

Technology

Kia is well-known for equipping its vehicles with an extremely high level of standard and available technology, and the 2022 Kia Carnival is certainly no exception. As a family vehicle, the Carnival not only includes the advanced front-row infotainment system expected of a modern Kia, but it also offers a top-of-the-line rear-seat entertainment system and a wide range of unique technologies designed to make driving with your family better than ever. In the Carnival, everyone can benefit from the latest technology.

Infotainment

The infotainment system is a crucial part of any modern vehicle, providing the driver with a single location for controlling everything from music to navigation. Unlike many other manufacturers, Kia has always taken infotainment seriously and continues to exceed expectations. The 2022 Carnival comes standard with a large eight-inch center-mounted touchscreen running Kia’s excellent UVO link software. This provides Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Voice Recognition, and more in an intuitive and easy to access interface.

All but the LX trims come standard with an even larger 12.3-inch central touchscreen boasting real-time traffic updates and SiriusXM satellite radio. These trims also include an upgraded sound system so that you can better enjoy your favorite music, audiobooks, or radio stations. Finally, the top SX Prestige trim supplements the 12.3-inch central display with a second 12.3-inch driver display that provides essential information in an easy-to-read format. The SX Prestige also includes a superior 12-speaker Bose Premium Audio System that was custom-designed for the Carnival and provides concert-grade sound quality.

Rear Seat Entertainment

However, the 2022 Kia Carnival does not neglect your back seat passengers. Not only does this new vehicle provide an incredible level of space and comfort, but it also offers an advanced rear-seat entertainment system to keep your passengers busy on long drives. With dual seat back-mounted displays, a built-in DVD player, and device mirroring, the Carnival has everything your passengers could desire. On top of the integrated screens, there are also up to nine USB ports spread across all three rows. Plus, the option for a pair of 115V power outlets and a wireless phone charger allows everyone to keep all of their smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices fully charged.

Safety

One of the most important aspects of any family vehicle is that it is safe. When you load up your kids, parents, and pets, you want to know that they are as secure as possible no matter what happens on the road. The 2022 Kia Carnival includes a phenomenal level of advanced safety features that will not only protect you out on the highway but will even keep your passengers safe as they disembark at your destination. Every single trim comes standard with a comprehensive suite of safety systems, and the higher trims go even further with some truly cutting-edge technologies that are not found on competing vehicles.

Safety is Standard

Every single trim of the 2022 Kia Carnival comes standard with a wide range of advanced safety features. Forward Collision Avoidance-Assist with Pedestrian Detection will provide alerts for impending collisions and even automatically bring the vehicle to a stop to avoid an accident. Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keep Assist work together to provide alerts and automatic steering corrections to keep you from accidentally drifting out of your lane when you are distracted. Meanwhile, the Parking Distance Warning system and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance prevent embarrassing parking lot accidents whether you are backing into or out of a parking space.

Two of Kia’s unique family-friendly safety systems only apply after you have stopped. The Safe Exit Assist feature is particularly valuable as it will warn your passengers if there is oncoming traffic when they attempt to disembark from the vehicle. The Rear Occupant Alert will not only provide a visual and audible warning if there is a passenger left in the back, but it will also even send you alerts via your smartphone if you have set up Kia’s UVO link. It is this sort of forward-thinking technology that helps busy parents look after their children.

Upgrade for Even More

While the 2022 Kia Carnival already offers more standard safety features than most of its competitors, there are even more cutting-edge technologies available in the higher trims. Even better, these features are not part of optional packages but come standard when you upgrade. Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist takes your traditional blind-spot monitoring to the next level by incorporating automatic braking to avoid impending collisions. This is standard on the EX trim and above, and is supplemented by a Blind View Monitor live video feed on the instrument cluster in the SX Prestige trim.

But perhaps the most impressive optional safety feature on the 2022 Kia Carnival is the Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go. Standard Smart Cruise Control already makes driving far easier by automatically adjusting the preset speed to match traffic in front of you. The Stop and Go feature means that even when the vehicle in front of you comes to a complete stop, your Carnival will react appropriately, stopping and then resuming the preset speed when safe to do so. Finally, Navigation-Based means that the Carnival uses GPS data to adjust its speed to match changing speed limits, sharp corners, and even construction zones along mapped routes.
