A stunning new front headlight design illuminates the path ahead while adding to the Carnival’s impressive road presence.
At the rear, the Carnival is robust in stature, and boasts a wide, distinctive new look accentuated by a full-width light bar.
An eye-catching new C-pillar signature design also stands out, with a chrome fin bearing a subtle diamond pattern.

Safety
Protect your family on every journey
The all new Carnival boasts a comprehensive suite of Kia’s most advanced safety technology.
Forward Collision Avoidance Assist – Car, Pedestrian, Cyclist & Junction
Forward Collision Avoidance Assist – Car, Pedestrian, Cyclist & Junction
Forward Collision Avoidance Assist with Junction Turning is the latest development of this technology. In addition to vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist detection, the system now also detects other road users on more acute angles, such as at an intersection, helping the driver safely navigate through, and applying the brakes if it detects an imminent collision.
Rear Cross Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist
Rear Cross Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist
When reversing out of a parking space or driveway, Rear Cross Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist detects and alerts you to vehicles approaching from the left or right, and will also apply the brakes if necessary to avoid a collision.
Around View Monitor with Dynamic Guidelines
Around View Monitor with Dynamic Guidelines
Through four one-megapixel cameras installed on the new Carnival, the Around View Monitor can see the front, rear and sides of the vehicle, along with a birds-eye view with zoom in/out function.
Lane Keep Assist & Lane Follow Assist
Lane Keep Assist & Lane Follow Assist
Lane Keep Assist detects the vehicle's current lane of travel, sounding audio and visual alerts if the vehicle begins to drift outside of its lane without the driver indicating, while also providing small steering controls to guide the vehicle back into the lane of travel. Lane Follow Assist works alongside this system, automatically steering the vehicle to keep it in the centre of the lane whenever it detects the vehicle unintentionally veering.
Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist
Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist
The Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist system uses sensors to monitor vehicles in or approaching your blind spots. In addition to audio and visual alerts on the outside mirrors and cluster, a new differential braking system will step in if it detects an imminent collision with a vehicle in your blind spot, applying the Carnival's brakes.
Multi-Collision Brake
Multi-Collision Brake
The Multi-Collision Braking system helps to reduce the danger of secondary collisions by automatically applying the brakes once the airbags have been deployed after an initial impact.
Rear Occupant Alert
Rear Occupant Alert
Rear Occupant Alert uses ultrasonic sensors inside the vehicle to detect passengers or pets located in the second and third row seats, alerting the driver before the leaving the vehicle.
Safe Exit Assist
Safe Exit Assist
Safe Exit Assist prevents the rear doors opening if the system detects a hazard approaching from behind the vehicle, such as a cyclist or another vehicle.
7 Airbags
7 Airbags
To help protect occupants and potentially reduce injuries in the event of a collision, Carnival features dual front & side airbags, dual side-curtain airbags in all three rows, as well as a driver’s knee airbag as standard.
