The Kia Carnival is a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) produced by the South Korean manufacturer Kia. First introduced in the late 1990s, it is designed primarily for family and passenger transport, offering three rows of seating and a spacious interior layout. In some markets, the model is also known as the Kia Sedona.
The Kia Carnival typically seats seven to eight passengers and features sliding rear doors for convenient access. Its interior is designed to provide flexible seating arrangements, with foldable or removable seats to increase cargo capacity when needed. Engine options have included gasoline and diesel units, as well as hybrid variants in more recent generations, depending on region.
Modern versions incorporate advanced driver-assistance systems, digital displays, and comfort-oriented amenities. The Carnival is positioned as a practical alternative to large SUVs, combining passenger capacity, interior versatility, and road comfort within a single vehicle platform.miniv
