A 2025 Kia Carnival hybrid is planned: Kia announces a hybrid variant of the minivan at the Chicago Auto Show. Auto123 has details
Kia is updating its Carnival minivan for 2025, and this week at the Chicago Auto Show the automaker announced a hybrid variant will join the lineup.We contacted Kia Canada to confirm that the version will indeed be offered here. Susan Bernardo, head of communications, had this to say: “We're in the process of finalizing the information, and details will be available early next week.”
We can deduce from that that the answer is yes, because if the model wasn't coming, we would have been told on the spot.The 2025 Kia Carnival HEV, three-quarters rear Photo: Kia The hybrid powertrain of the 2025 Kia CarnivalThis hybrid powertrain had already been announced elsewhere in the world, and we know it well. It's the 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine also found in the Sportage Hybrid and Sorento Hybrid models.
The 3.5L V6 version offers 290 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque, plus an 8-speed automatic transmission. Fuel consumption figures have not been announced, but they should be similar to the Sorento Hybrid's 6.7L/100 km in the city and 7.1L/100 km on the highway. As for the changes to the model for 2025, we already know they won’t be radical. The minivan is getting slightly redesigned headlights and lights, plus a reworked grille and bumpers. New wheel designs will also be introduced.
