Re-writing the People Mover rules.

The Carnival is quite unlike any car we’ve crafted before. Fusing SUV-inspired design with an unstoppable attitude, the Carnival uses progressive styling that boasts an aesthetic like no other.

Featuring a luxurious interior for eight, lavishly equipped with next-generation Kia technology, the Carnival lets you and your passengers travel in grand comfort and style. We didn't just build a People Mover. We upgraded it to a Grand Utility Vehicle.
