The Kia Carnival is Kia’s new update to their previous Sedona minivan model. It’s such an extensive change to the Sedona that Kia felt it needed a new name, and the Carnival was born. This minivan has received widespread popularity, in large part due to its similarities with SUVs. For example, inside the 2022 Kia Sedona, you’ll find a powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine that can produce 290 horsepower.
However, the real excitement for the 2022 Kia Carnival starts once you get inside. There are a host of features that practically any new car owner would love to have. Below, we’ll outline some of the best interior features of the Kia Carnival and show you just why this new model is so popular, especially in Rochester.
Interior Space
Let’s start by talking about the physical dimensions of the interior. There are three rows of seats, providing you with plenty of space for passengers. Each passenger will also have plenty of room, with 40.9, 39.5, and 36.8 inches of headroom per row, respectively, and 41.1, 40.5, and 35.6 inches of legroom.
As for cargo, the 2022 Kia Carnival comes with a maximum space of 145.1 cubic feet if you fold the seats down. Even with all the seats up, however, you’ll still get plenty of cargo space, with 40.2 cubic feet of space in the back. This roomy interior is perfect for long drives with plenty of passengers and space for all their luggage.
Finally, the seats come in a comfortable yet upscale, upholstery. You also have the option of upgrading to leather upholstery and reclining second-row seats for added comfort. If you want to get a little more air while you’re inside, you can also upgrade to a large panoramic sunroof.
Entertainment Features
One of the best parts of getting a new car is playing around with all the new technology features. It seems like each year car manufacturers release upgrades to their entertainment tech, making rides more enjoyable in all sorts of different ways. The 2022 Kia Carnival is no exception, as there are plenty of entertainment features on board to make even your longest drives more enjoyable.
It all starts with the 8-inch touchscreen. This infotainment center can connect to both Android and Apple devices, allowing you to stream your favorite music or use your preferred navigation apps easily. In addition, you can connect to the car using Bluetooth, allowing you to make calls or perform other commands using just your voice. All of this flows through the six speakers inside, providing all passengers with a great audio experience.
Safety Features
Safety is another big concern for new car buyers, especially those looking to get a minivan. Many minivan owners have families to look after, so you want to get a model with all the latest safety features. The 2022 Kia Carnival comes with some great safety features, starting with driver assist technology. Kia’s Drive Wise Driver Assist Technology includes things such as:
- Lane departure warning
- Lane-keeping assist
- High beam assist
- Forward collision avoidance assist
- Pedestrian detection
- Driver attention warning
- Rearview monitor with dynamic parking guidance
- Safe exit assist
In addition to these great driver-assist technologies, you’ll also get safety features you’d come to expect in any other vehicle. For example, there are dual front airbags, dual front side airbags, and dual rear side airbags. There’s also electronic stability control, hill start assist control, an anti-lock braking system, and rear child-safety door locks. All in all, the 2022 Kia Carnival has enough safety features that you can drive with your entire family in tow and have plenty of peace of mind.
Different Trim Options Available
With the 2022 Kia Carnival, you have five trim levels to choose from: the LX, LX Seat Package, EX, SX, and SX Prestige. The trim you choose impacts the interior features you get along with the total cost. The more features you want to include, the more you’ll have to spend. This means you have more say over which features you feel are worth the investment. If a certain feature doesn’t appeal to you that much, you can likely save yourself some money by choosing a trim without it.
For example, the most basic trim, the LX, comes with 4 different color options on the exterior and one for the interior. The most luxurious trim, the SX Prestige, comes with six exterior color options and two for the interior. In addition, the SX Prestige comes with a 12.3-inch touchscreen and a 12-speaker Bose audio system, while the LX has the standard 8-inch screen and 6-speaker system.
There are many differences for each trim. The best thing you can do is talk to a knowledge dealership about the specifics for each trim and see which one best suits your needs. You can then get a complete breakdown of each trim and its costs.
