2027 Kia
Carnival MPV

The minivan’s heyday has come and gone, but a few worthwhile family-centric vehicles remain, and the Carnival MPV is a must-see among them. After all, you can’t argue with segment-leading passenger volume and cargo space when you’re shopping for a people mover. Buyers can choose a seven- or eight-occupant layout, with the middle row configured as a pair of comfy captain’s chairs or a three-person bench seat. Tri-zone automatic climate control comes standard, and convenient amenities such as an in-cabin intercom, second- and third-row sunshades, Slide-Flex seating, and abundant USB ports and cup holders, are available to make road trips easier on everyone aboard. Kia also packs the Carnival MPV with plenty of active and passive technologies to raise the bar on safety, giving parents and grandparents added peace of mind.
