What’s New for 2024

Since its debut in 2021 for the 2022 MY, the Kia Carnival has exceeded expectations of what a minivan should be, and the 2024 model is no different. It carries over from the prior year with only minor changes. The company removed the previously standard driver’s side automatic up/down power windows from the mid level EX trim (power windows remain, just not the auto up/down feature). Auto up/down remains in the Carnival SX and top-tier SX Prestige trims. The (8-passenger) EX trim’s Power Tailgate Delete Package is also no longer available. Other than these adjustments, everything else is the same.
