2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid: Advanced Family Transportation Arrives with a Starting Price of $46,545

The Kia Carnival enters a new chapter with the introduction of its first-ever hybrid model. This latest version of Kia's versatile minivan combines practical family functionality with advanced hybrid technology, delivering exceptional fuel efficiency without compromising on capability or comfort.

A New Era for the Family Minivan

The 2025 Carnival Hybrid represents a thoughtful evolution in family transportation. At its heart lies an advanced hybrid powertrain that pairs a 1.6L turbocharged engine with an electric motor, generating a combined 242 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain works seamlessly with a 6-speed automatic transmission to deliver smooth, efficient performance. The system includes Kia's most powerful hybrid motor to date, producing 54kW of electric output to enhance both performance and efficiency.

Performance That Makes Sense

The Carnival Hybrid delivers impressive fuel economy ratings that make it a practical choice for Canadian families. With consumption rates of 6.9L/100 km in city driving, 7.6L/100 km on the highway, and a combined rating of 7.2L/100 km, this minivan helps reduce fuel costs without sacrificing capability. The hybrid system features adjustable regenerative braking controlled through paddle shifters, allowing drivers to maximize energy recovery and efficiency based on their driving preferences and conditions.

Design Evolution Meets Modern Luxury

The exterior design of the 2025 Carnival Hybrid showcases Kia's premium aesthetic direction. The front end features the brand's distinctive star map lighting signature, previously seen on the EV9, creating a sophisticated presence. Gunmetal finish elements appear throughout the exterior, including the bumper trims, moldings, roof rails, door garnish, and skid plates. The SX and SX+ trims offer an available dark edition package that enhances the vehicle's modern appearance with black accents and wheels.

Value-Focused Pricing Structure

The 2025 Carnival Hybrid arrives with three well-equipped trim levels. The lineup starts with the LX+ HEV at $46,545, progressing to the EX HEV at $49,445, and topping out with the premium SX+ HEV at $56,445. Each trim level builds upon Kia's reputation for delivering exceptional value, combining hybrid efficiency with family-focused features. Canadian buyers can expect to see the new Carnival Hybrid in dealerships in early 2025.
