2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid: The Ultimate Family Ride Just Got a Game-Changing Update
Get ready, Alberta! Kia Canada has dropped the specs for the first-ever Carnival Hybrid, and it’s here to redefine family driving.
The 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid combines bold design updates with the versatility you expect from a minivan and the efficiency of a hybrid. This isn’t your average family hauler—it’s a head-turner, packed with cutting-edge tech and eco-friendly features.
Revamped Design: Stylish, Modern, and Bold
The Carnival Hybrid debuts a refreshed front-end design, featuring Kia’s iconic star map lighting (as seen on the EV9) that’s sure to light up any driveway. Gunmetal accents on the bumper trims, moldings, roof rails, door garnish, and skid plates add a sophisticated touch, while the new black grille and sleek wheels complete the elevated aesthetic.
Dark mode, anyone? The SX and SX+ trims will offer a ‘dark edition,’ amping up the Carnival’s sleek vibe with extra style points.
Hybrid Powertrain: Efficiency Meets Performance
Under the hood, the Carnival Hybrid boasts a 1.6L turbocharged engine paired with a 54kW drive motor, delivering an impressive combined 242 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. Matched with a 6-speed automatic transmission, this hybrid powerhouse isn’t just about fuel efficiency—it’s about performance too.
Drivers can also fine-tune their efficiency with regenerative braking via paddle shifters, giving you control over energy savings and a smoother driving experience.
Fuel Economy That’ll Keep You Smiling at the Pump
With fuel economy ratings of 6.9L/100 km city, 7.6L/100 km highway, and 7.2L/100 km combined, the Carnival Hybrid is ready to tackle those long Alberta road trips or daily commutes without draining your wallet.
The Perfect Life Utility Vehicle
David Sherrard, Director of Strategic Planning at Kia Canada, sums it up perfectly:
"The Carnival truly is the perfect life utility vehicle to meet the needs of any family. This 2025 model year specifically is robust with options and flexibility, be it seating configuration, convenience, safety features, and now the introduction of a hybrid powertrain."
Whether it’s hockey practice in Red Deer, a grocery run in Calgary, or a weekend adventure to Jasper, the Carnival Hybrid is built to handle it all.
Coming Soon to Alberta Kia Dealerships
