Kia Carnival Basic Information
The 2023 Kia Carnival is a minivan with a seven-passenger capacity. It’s available in four trim levels: LX, EX, SX, and SX Prestige. Regardless of which trim level you choose, your 2023 Kia Carnival will be powered by a potent 3.5-liter V-6 engine, providing 290 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque.
It has a fairly futuristic exterior look, with boxy headlights, an impressive daytime running light array that encircles the headlights and the grille, and a grated silver-look grille. Its body lines are deep and sharp for a minivan, and it comes with 17-inch or 19-inch wheels and a front-wheel-drive system.
Kia Carnival Interior Style Description
The 2023 Kia Carnival has some very impressive interior features that may not be readily apparent during a cursory reading of its feature lists. The vehicle has three rows of seats, but the second row of seating has a rare feature. These seats can move forward on their tracks to make more room for rear passengers, but they can also move all the way back. In this back-to-the-third-row position, both center row seats can function like fully fledged electric recliners, complete with deep back-tilt and large built-in foot leg rests.
The driver and front passenger area present an exceedingly smooth, comfortable-looking style while retaining a functional, high-tech feel. The infotainment system is set high up in the center of the dashboard, with about a third of it rising above the dash. The gear shifter is offset to the driver’s side for ease of use, while you’ll find a pair of cup holders on the passenger’s side of the center console.
The lower half of the dash and the upper and lower parts of the center console are covered in the same soft leather material as the seats. The driver’s display is part digital, part traditional, with the traditional gauges on the outside and the digital interface between them.
Kia Carnival Comfort Features and Options
The 2023 Kia Carnival’s most notable comfort features and options include an HVAC system with under-seat, pillar, and headliner ducts, fade-to-off interior lighting, a day-night auto-dimming rear-view mirror, a heated leather steering wheel, dual-zone front automatic air conditioning, a leather and metal-look gear shifter, a driver footrest, pure leather seat trim, and one-touch up and down power windows.
Other comfort features and options include a full carpet floor covering, a rear HVAC system with separate controls, and two different kinds of power-adjustable seats. The first variety is an eight-way heated and ventilated bucket seat with four-way power-adjustable lumbar supports. The second is an eight-way power-reclining height-adjustable seat with an easy entry setting for the rear seats. The second kind is the recliner unit mentioned above.
Kia Carnival Convenience Features and Options
The 2023 Kia Carnival’s range of convenience features and options is truly incredible for a vehicle of its class. The largest among them include a full floor console with a covered storage bay, four power outlets, and a mini overhead console with a multi-button panel. The four outlets include a pair of 12-volt DC outlets and a pair of 120-volt AC outlets.
Other notable convenience features in the 2023 Kia Carnival include a HomeLink garage door transmitter, a proximity key with push-button start and push-button cargo access, a system monitor, an outside temperature gauge, a locking illuminated glove box, distance-pacing cruise control with steering wheel controls, and a digital trip computer.
Kia Carnival Entertainment Features and Options
The 2023 Kia Carnival is available with one of three sound systems. The first is a six-speaker system with Bluetooth capacity, an integrated roof antenna for increased signal strength, and a streaming radio system. The second is an eight-speaker system with Bluetooth capacity, SiriusXM satellite radio, and an integrated roof antenna. The largest sound system available for the 2023 Kia Carnival is a spectacular 12-speaker Bose system with an exterior amp, a subwoofer, Bluetooth capacity, and an integrated roof antenna.
Speed-compensated volume controls, voice-activated radio programming, steering wheel entertainment system controls, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and six USB ports are standard entertainment equipment at every trim level. The standard infotainment system is 8 inches wide with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto programming. You can upgrade it to a 12.3-inch version with an integrated navigation system, an internal modem, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay programming. The top two trim levels come with a surround-view monitor.
Kia Carnival Safety Features and Options
The most important interior features in the 2023 Kia Carnival are the ones that keep you, your family, and your friends safe on the road. Its standard safety features include a driver monitoring and alert system, blind-spot monitoring with collision avoidance assistance, lane-keeping assistance, dual-stage driver and passenger airbags, and a forward collision mitigation system with automatic emergency braking.
It also features vehicle stability management programming, curtain airbags for all three rows, a rear collision mitigation system, a steering assistance feature for the cruise control system, a lane-departure warning system, and rear child safety locks.
