The 2026 Kia Sorento PHEV offers something straightforward for drivers who cover a lot of ground each week: up to 55 km of all-electric range for shorter daily trips, and gasoline performance for the longer ones.

When it comes to family travel, safety is paramount. The 2024 Kia Carnival sets a new standard with its comprehensive suite of safety features. Imagine a vehicle that not only alerts you when another car is in your blind spot but also takes proactive measures to avoid a collision. That's precisely what the Blind Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist does. Add to that the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, which automatically applies the brakes if it detects a potential collision while you're making a turn at an intersection.
But the Carnival doesn't stop there. The Around View Monitor provides a 360-degree virtual view of your surroundings, making parking and tight-space maneuvering a breeze. And if you're still concerned about blind spots, the Blind Spot View Monitor offers a live video feed right inside your instrument cluster.
The Carnival Experience: More Than Just a Minivan
Forget everything you know about minivans because the Kia Carnival is in a league of its own. Coined as a Life Utility Vehicle (LUV), it's designed to be as multifaceted as your life. Whether you're planning a family outing, heading to a sports event, or embarking on a road trip, the Carnival has got you covered.
Comfort is another area where the Carnival shines. The available VIP lounge seating in the second row offers a full recline feature, raised power footrests, and both heating and ventilation. It's not just a seat; it's an experience.
Cutting-Edge Technology for a Seamless Drive
The 2024 Kia Carnival is a marvel of modern technology. The Passenger View Monitor allows the driver to keep an eye on the second and third-row passengers via a touch-screen display. And speaking of displays, the available 12.3-inch navigation screen is not just a navigation tool; it's the epicenter of convenience and entertainment in your vehicle.
Starting the Carnival is as easy as pressing a button, thanks to the available Smart Key with push-button start. And for those who dread the thermostat wars, the multi-zone automatic climate control ensures everyone can enjoy their ideal temperature.
Versatility and Affordability: The Complete Package
The Carnival offers flexibility with its seating configurations. You can opt for either 8-passenger seating with a removable second row or a 7-passenger setup that includes both heated and air-cooled second-row seats.
And the best part? All of this comes at an incredibly competitive starting MSRP of $36,495 for the 2024 model. The Kia Carnival is not just a vehicle; it's a statement—a statement that you don't have to compromise on safety, comfort, or luxury, no matter what your life demands.
