Kia Carnival design

Is the Carnival an SUV or a Minivan? The style screams full size SUV but the overall functionality and build falls closest to that of the minivan category. Much like other recent Kia models the Carnival uses the "Opposites United" design philosophy making it seamlessly fit with their other models while providing more space than any other Kia offering. Fans of the Kia Sorrento will especially be fond of the Carnival as stylistically they are similar but the Carnival is considerably larger. The Carnival offers a refreshed SUV-inspired aesthetic featuring a sculpture black grille and high-tech elements like the cube-shaped vertical LED headlights and taillights. The Carnival also now sports newly designed wheels that elevate its overall style. The exterior offers van functionality as well. Power sliding rear doors makes getting the kids in an out a breeze. Additional upgrades like dual Sunroofs, a smart power liftgate, and roof rails provide functionality and style. This is an MPV that will have you never going back to traditional minivans again.
