The latest generation of Kia Carnival will be available in two variants, hybrid and electric. It is estimated that the 2023 Kia Carnival will be out in one year.
If you do not watch the upcoming 2023 Kia Carnival, you as a Kia fan will not be satisfied, right? In 2022, Kia will replace the old minivan Sedona with a new carnival. As everyone expected, Kia Carnival 2023 made an appearance on the show floor. Let’s check the further details below.
2023 Carnival Estimated Design
Before imagining the 2023 Kia Carnival digitally, it’s worth keeping in mind the current model’s design. Today’s Kia is designed as a mix of a minivan and SUV, with a stretchy body and angular edges. Sophisticated headlights, distinctive grille, and slight wheel flare dominate the model in minivan space. On the back, the LED light strip has an impressive look. The design expects the same appearance to be added to the 2023 Carnival.
Look Deeper at 2023 Carnival Interior
Like a minivan, the car has a thin and clean dashboard layout that expands the front seats. Outstanding features include the improved digital instrument cluster, adjustable second-row seats, the touchscreen on the dashboard above, and two-toned leather upholstery. Thus, the interior appearance of the 2023 model is expected to remain more or less the same.
Thankfully, the 2023 Kia Carnival comes standard with a sliding rear door, 8-inch Apple CarPlay touchscreen, Android Auto, and more. Other features like a 115-volt wall outlet, phone charger, 12-speaker Bose audio system, 12.3-inch digital meter, and the 12.3-inch touchscreen will be included. These features will also likely be used in the new Kia Carnival.
2023 Carnival Safety Features
For your information, the car has not yet confirmed its safety features. However, it is well designed with dynamic lane control, standard automatic emergency brake, blind-spot monitoring, driver warning, and lastly a reverse parking sensor. Safety devices also include adaptive cruise control, front parking sensors, surround-view camera system, blind-spot camera, and high-speed automatic emergency brake. All these safety features are expected to stay the same in Kia Carnival 2023.
In addition, the warranty offered by KIA includes a 5-year bumper warranty for 60.000 miles, a 10-year powertrain warranty for 100.000-mile, and a 5-year emergency assistance warranty for 60,000-mile. Kia Motors provides customers with a lifetime warranty of powertrain covering the vehicle’s engine, and transmission over the life of the vehicle, together with Kia’s manufacturer’s warranty.
2023 Carnival Engine
Well, the reports on the arrival of the electric and hybrid carnival are still unclear. It is supported by a launch schedule from early 2022 to around 2023. However, hybrids may first launch in early 2022 and after. The Electric models will follow on the assembly line production capacity in 2023 after the closing of Stinger production.
2023 Kia Carnival may share mechanics with the Sorrento hybrid, but details on the hybrid model are not given. The Electric Sorrento combines a 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine supported by a 44 kW electric motor, 6-speed automatic, and 1.5 kWh battery to deliver 169 kW to the front or all 4-wheel.
According to Korean test methods, the 19-inch front-wheel-drive Sorrento hybrid model consumes 7.0 liters of gasoline per 100 km in the combined cycle compared to the 7.5 liter / 100 km 20-inch all-wheel-drive diesel variant. We do not know much about electric models. However, it is probably built on the same foundations as carnival burning, rather than using Kia and Hyundai’s custom EGMP designed clearly for EVs. To stay competitive in today’s electric vehicle market, the EV Carnival has to provide a range of about 450-500 km, a charging measure of about 10-80% in around 30 minutes, and an excellent performance equal to or better than Carnival’s 200 kW petrol-powered V6.
2023 Carnival Release Date & Price
The official release date and sales date of the 2023 Carnival have not yet been announced. However, fans hope it will follow the same schedule as the current model, which will be launched in the second quarter of 2022. This means we can wait until its release time at the end of 2022.
No pricing information is available. Since we are expecting the model to stay the same as its predecessor, the price is also estimated to be the same. As such, 2023 Kia Carnival is expected to go on sale with prices between $33,275 and $47,275. Those prices are including shipping payment.
