Powertrain and Efficiency
The 2025 Carnival Hybrid introduces a new powertrain option for Canadian families seeking improved fuel efficiency. The hybrid system pairs a 1.6L turbocharged engine with a 54kW electric drive motor—the highest output among Kia's hybrid models. This combination works with a 6-speed automatic transmission to achieve impressive fuel economy ratings of 6.9 L/100 km in the city, 7.6 L/100 km on the highway, and 7.2 L/100 km combined.
To enhance efficiency further, the Carnival Hybrid features adjustable regenerative braking controlled via paddle shifters. This system allows drivers to customize energy recovery and improve overall driving efficiency.
Design and Features
The 2025 Carnival Hybrid showcases updated design elements that align with Kia's latest styling direction. The front end now incorporates Kia's signature star map lighting, similar to that seen on the EV9 model. Gunmetal finishes adorn various exterior components, including bumper trims, moldings, roof rails, door garnish, and skid plates. A new black grille and wheels complete the refined aesthetic.
Kia provides a 'dark edition' package for the SX and SX+ trims, catering to those who desire a more unique style and accentuating the vehicle's smooth aesthetic.
