Kia releases 2025 model year of Carnival

Kia Corp., South Korea’s second-largest automaker, said on Monday it will release The 2025 Carnival, a model year of its large recreational vehicle (RV), on October 14.

Kia said the 2025 Carnival enhances its market competitiveness by expanding safety and convenience features.

All trims will come with newly introduced systems, including Lane Keeping Assist 2, which improves lane-keeping performance through reinforced steering control, and a steering wheel grip detection system using capacitive sensors.

Previously optional features, like Kia’s Digital Key 2 and touch-type exterior door handles, will now be standard on the Signature trim.

The Gravity trim will feature a new Snow White Pearl exterior, while the Noblesse trim will offer Cotton Beige and Navy Gray interior options.
