The 2025 Kia Carnival brings exciting updates that make this already impressive vehicle even better. With a blend of style upgrades, tech enhancements, and a new hybrid powertrain option, the Carnival continues to be a top choice for families who value space, comfort, and efficiency. If you’re a Lake Wales resident looking for a vehicle that fits your lifestyle, the 2025 Carnival might be just what you need.
Dyer Kia Lake Wales is here to break down the differences between the 2024 and 2025 models and explore how these updates can enhance your driving experience.
2025 Kia Carnival: What’s New?
The 2025 Kia Carnival has undergone some noticeable changes, both in design and under the hood. The exterior now features a bold and modern look that’s reminiscent of Kia’s EV lineup. The chiseled front fascia, cube-like headlamps, and sculptural grille give the Carnival a fresh, contemporary feel. You also have a choice of alloy wheels ranging from 17 to 19 inches, adding to its sleek appearance.
For those who prefer a more refined and sophisticated look, the Carnival Dark Edition is available. This version includes darkened exterior elements like roof rails and skid plates, giving the vehicle a striking, upscale vibe—perfect for cruising around Lake Wales in style.
But the most significant change for 2025 is the introduction of a hybrid powertrain option. While the standard 3.5-liter V6 engine with 287 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque is still available, the new hybrid option adds an eco-friendly alternative. The 1.6-liter turbo-hybrid engine, paired with a 54kW motor and a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivers a combined output of 242 horsepower and 271 lb.-ft. of torque. This means you can enjoy the Carnival’s spacious interior and powerful performance while being kinder to the environment.
Features That Fit Your Lake Wales Lifestyle
The 2025 Kia Carnival is designed with families in mind, making it an ideal choice for residents of Lake Wales. Whether you’re heading to Bok Tower Gardens for a day out with the kids or packing up for a weekend trip to the coast, the Carnival has the features you need to make every journey more comfortable and enjoyable.
Class-Leading Space for Everyone
With seating for up to eight passengers and an abundance of cargo space, the 2025 Kia Carnival guarantees that everyone can ride comfortably without feeling cramped. Whether you’re packing up for a day at Lake Kissimmee State Park or heading out on a family adventure, there’s ample room for all your gear, and everyone still has space to stretch out. Thanks to the Carnival’s best-in-class cargo and passenger space, you’ll never have to worry about whether everything will fit—because with the Carnival, it always does.
Smart Power Sliding Doors
Picture this—you’ve got your hands full with groceries or sports equipment after a day at the Lake Wales Little League field. The Carnival’s smart power sliding doors open with just a touch, making it easy to load up without setting anything down.
Advanced Infotainment System
Keep the whole family entertained on those longer drives to Orlando or Tampa with the Carnival’s cutting-edge infotainment system. Boasting over 24 inches of combined display space, it offers both entertainment and convenience at your fingertips. With seamless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, everyone’s favorite music, shows, and apps are just a tap away, ensuring that every journey is enjoyable for all.
Family-Approved Safety Features
Driving around town or on the highway, the 2025 Kia Carnival prioritizes your safety with features like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist. Whether you’re navigating busy streets near downtown Lake Wales or merging onto I-4, these systems help keep you and your family safe.
With the available Highway Driving Assist 2, you can maintain a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead using a combination of a forward-facing camera, radar sensors, and navigation data. This advanced feature helps make highway driving smoother and more relaxed by automatically adjusting your speed to keep you safely in sync with traffic.
Hybrid Efficiency
For those who are eco-conscious or just want to save on gas, the hybrid powertrain offers improved fuel efficiency. Imagine taking a road trip to Disney without worrying as much about fuel stops—more fun, less hassle!
