2025 Kia Carnival HEV is a Turbocharged Hybrid Hauler
Manage episode 484023303 series 100685
The Kia Carnival MPV has always been a competitive family hauler. For 2025 it adds a hybrid powertrain good for 33 MPG. And it’s turbocharged! All Carnivals, even the V6-powered version, get a mid-cycle refresh with a stronger grille, Star Map headlamps and new tech. The HEV powertrain’s 54kW electric motor adds more than efficiency, it helps to smooth out the ride quality and improve handling. And the look doesn't scream minivan.
Tom Voelk travels to San Diego, CA to drive the Carnival Hybrid and finds it to be the ultimate family machine, as long as you don’t need all-wheel drive.
