Hot off the model line's pretty major refresh, the Kia Carnival Hybrid offers impressive fuel economy and a lovely ride.

Dimensionally, the 2025 Kia Carnival is identical to the 2024. The exterior updates amount to a mere facelift.

The restyled front end features changes to the hood, headlights, and grille intended to take the SUV styling theme a bit further.

The rear gets a similar treatment, with taillights that add a vertical dimension, a reworked spoiler, and a lower license plate that makes it possible to hide the liftgate handle.

As before, the Kia corners and handles predictably and smoothly.

The ride comfort may be even better, as there's no pitch or float, and road surfaces are smothered with nary a sound.

The engine, a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder, is paired with the biggest electric motor in Kia's portfolio of non-plug-in hybrids. Together the engine and motor produce 242 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque.
