Find The New Kia Carnival at Grand Kia in Thornton 

There are several reasons why we're confident that the new Kia Carnival will do well from Westminster to Lakewood. First, it has a spacious cabin with three rows of seats. It has advanced technology and many safety mechanisms that protect you, and it has excellent capability and offers a smooth ride. This model, which Kia categorizes as a multi-purpose vehicle, has been designed to meet high expectations.

As a multi-purpose vehicle, the Carnival isn't exactly an SUV, and it's not a minivan either. It sits somewhere between the two. When you take a quick look at it, it seems very similar to an SUV with its tall and athletic stance. However, it has a clever feature that sets it apart. Instead of swinging open, the rear doors slide back like on traditional minivans. This offers convenient access to the cabin and creates a wide opening that can make loading and unloading much easier. To make things better, all trims have power sliding rear doors, and they can have power-operated tailgates, too.

The seats in the middle row can slide forward whenever people need to get in or out of the third row. They can be removed from the cabin if you need extra cargo space. Some trims have slide-flex seating in this second row. This feature allows the middle seat to slide forward or back and fold into a table for rear-seat passengers. An available feature on the most sophisticated Carnival trim is VIP lounge seating in the middle row. With the touch of a button, these seats can fully recline and raise their footrests and offer heating and ventilation. The front seats can also be heated and ventilated in select trims, and the driver's seat can have a memory function.

The design team at Kia has done a great job of integrating technology into the Carnival. Several trims have massive 12.3-inch instrument displays as well as 12.3-inch touchscreens. These touchscreens come with navigation and Kia Connect, a program that provides access to remote features. With Kia Connect, you can remotely start your engine, set up the climate control system, lock or unlock your doors, and more. Every trim of the new Kia Carnival comes with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and voice recognition. You and your passengers will appreciate that the standard technology package includes three USB ports in the first row, two in the second row, and two more in the third row. There can even be wireless charging.

Technology plays a major role in keeping you safe while driving the Carnival. This model can sense potential forward collisions and detect vehicles in its blind spot, and it knows when it's drifting out of position or is about to back up into oncoming traffic. In any of these situations, you'd be warned, and the Carnival could potentially correct your steering or braking to keep you away from harm. Some trims are fortunate to have navigation-based smart cruise control and surround view monitors.

The Kia Carnival's 3.5-liter V6 engine can deliver quite a bit of power; total horsepower is 290, and torque is 262 pound-feet. An eight-speed automatic transmission has been paired with the V6, and the Carnival's athletic nature can be apparent in many situations.
