Irvine, California, USA

The all-new 2022 Kia Carnival Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) developed by the California-based design studio at Kia Motors America reflects a new kind of eight-passenger MPV with sleek and refined lines.

Kia Carnival Multi-Purpose Vehicle was awarded a 2021 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.

The Kia Carnival Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) replaces the outgoing Sedona to become a multifaceted and unexpected companion.

Staking claim on the unoccupied space between SUV and family hauler, the Carnival arrives with a new name and is the first vehicle to be sold in the U.S. with Kia’s new logo proudly displayed on its sculpted hood.

It pushes the boundaries on expected fronts in much the same way the Kia K5 did to redefine what a midsize sedan should be.

Penned at Kia’s California design studio, the Carnival wears a bold and boxy appearance and conveys the visual language found in the brand’s recent and highly successful line of rugged utility vehicles.

The three-row seven- or eight-passenger MPV delivers a premium level of refinement, savvy technology, and flexibility.

And with best-in-class passenger room and best-in-class cargo room, there is enough space to accommodate people, playthings, or plywood, depending on the day’s errands… or adventures.
