Overview

Combining the utility of both passenger vans and crew vans, the 2024 Kia Carnival Crew Van gives you the best of both worlds. Practically though, the Carnival Crew Van seats 7 people while carrying a total cargo volume of 40 cubic feet. While the Carnival is already capable of fitting into multiple roles. Engine wise, there is a 3.5L V-6 and 8-speed automatic transmission combo here. It makes 290 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. EPA estimates put the Carnival combined fuel economy at 22 MPG.

Buying Advice

The 2024 Kia Carnival has very attractive styling despite being a crew cab it does look very stunning and proportionate. A ton of standard features, comfortable seats, and a great warranty make it an overall package to buy one. The rear VIP seats may eat some cargo space but overall comfort makes it logical to buy one. Moreover, the midsize van comes with enough tech features to ensure practicality and the safety aspects are among the best in the market.
