Kia Carnival
Now entering its fourth year, the Carnival is finally adding a hybrid variant. This one combines a turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine with an electric motor generating 72 hp. The 242 total horsepower are handled by a six-speed autobox. A 3.5-litre V6 (290 horsepower) paired with an eight-speed transmission continues to motivate other Carnival models. Again, no AWD option is available. Styling revisions, new tech and increased safety are more highlights for 2025.
