Kia Carnival Facelift Revealed Looks Similar to Kia EV9

Kia has wholeheartedly embraced its fresh design language, seamlessly integrating it from the EV9 to the Picanto and now, into the highly anticipated upcoming Carnival facelift.

Leaked spy shots of the revamped Carnival reveal design elements borrowed from its flagship electric SUV, the EV9. Notably, the Carnival facelift will showcase an EV9-inspired front end, giving it a striking and modern look. Furthermore, the rear end will feature new stylish lights, and the sides will flaunt brand-new alloy wheels, reminiscent of those found on the EV9.

The facelift is reported to be offered with a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) powertrain, combining a 1.6-liter turbo engine with an electric motor, providing a combined output of 230 horsepower. While the HEV variant is undoubtedly on the cards, speculations are rife that Kia might also be developing an all-electric version of the Carnival, based on the success of the EV9.

The redesigned Carnival will boast a plethora of exciting features, including a Heads-Up Display, level-2 highway driving assistance (HDA2), and two 12-inch curved screens. Adding a touch of sophistication, the facelift will also introduce fingerprint recognition technology. However, the highlight of the interior will undoubtedly be the EV9 Ergo Motion Seats, specifically designed with air chambers to enhance comfort. These innovative seats will allow for a thinner seat layer, resulting in increased cabin space and an overall more comfortable experience for passengers.

The eagerly awaited Carnival facelift is scheduled to make its grand debut in South Korea in Q4 of 2023, followed by its introduction to the U.S. market in early 2024. Kia's commitment to innovation and its bold new design philosophy make the new Carnival an exciting prospect for car enthusiasts and customers alike.
