2023 Kia Carnival: Price and specs

In 2022, the Kia Sedona van took up a new name. It is known today as the Kia Carnival, one of the last minivans out there. With seating capacities for seven or eight passengers, depending on the price, it is considered the best in family vehicle. But beyond that, the Carnival has many other assets that every active family will appreciate.

And when comparing the 2022 Kia Carnival vs. the Kia Sedona, we can’t help but praise its more rough and rugged look, which brings it closer to a sport utility vehicle and gives it a frankly more modern and dynamic appearance.

What’s New with the 2023 Kia Minivan

Having undergone a complete makeover and earned a new name last year, the Kia Carnival doesn’t change much from that winning formula, because let’s face it, the 2023 Kia Carnival is nothing like the standard minivan, except for the name. That being said, it’s certainly the look of these minivans that has probably accelerated their decline.
