The Kia Carnival gets new front and rear fascias, as well as new

Updates include a new larger grille and headlights that match
those of Telluride, while the rear end mimics the Sorento SUV.
Inside, there’s a new optional 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster
and 12-inch infotainment touchscreen. There’s also a
new digital rearview mirror. The Carnival seats
7 passengers and is only offered as a 4-door
minivan. Competitors include the Chrysler

new range-topping hybrid engine is optional:
A 1.6-liter 4-cylinder aided by an electric motor that produces 272 horsepower
and pairs to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Only front-wheel-drive models
