Hi Gabi & Char, thank you for this detailed technology review of the 2025 Carnival SX that I requested yesterday. Very fast service ladies. I was test driving the 2025 Carnival SX Prestige here in South Florida during your live broadcast today. The new Ivory Silver color looks really good. As I said, I will purchase one very soon and the dark edition accents look beautiful. Thank you ladies so much for sharing your in depth knowledge. My name is Lawrence, btw.
Thanks and yes I am ready to purchase as soon as a deal can be struck. As much as I want the VIP 7 seat configuration, it's more practical to go with the 8 seater. Are the two second row outer bench seats able to be reversed in this 2025 model like they can be with the 2024 model?
Hey thanks for the great review, im looking into getting one of these things, seems really nice. Im from the states so it might be different here but i think here only the SX-Prestige trims get LED taillights, camera rear view mirrors, and bose stereo. The full list of options that the prestige trim has over the regular SX is: LED tailights, camera rear view mirror, bose stereo, leather seats, heated steering wheel, projector headlights, heads up display (HUD), and the captains chairs which are optional so you can get a SX-Prestige without the captions chairs but the chairs are a free option since some folks may prefer 8 seats instead of 7. Whats the difference between the SX and SX-Prestige in Canada for you guys?
Good Job guys. I am planning to buy this 2025 model. Compared to Odyssey, Sienna and Pacifica I doing Carnival more advanced and safety feature advanced.
I’m confused in that this is an SX with heads-up display in the description, but in the US you have to upgrade to the SX Premium according to the Kia website. Is the Canadian version different or am I missing something?
This is the equivalent to SXP in the US. Ambient lighting, 360 view, rear mirror cam, black pentagon wheels, HUD, Bose sound etc. View trim comparison chart on official Kia site for your country.
Is this a sold unit or a demo notice you've been live streaming with the same vehicle for a week now if available I'd be interested in placing an offer I am in the GTA
Never understood the design logic here. I much more prefer the knob as it takes less space and looks more modern. The shift knob makes it looks very dated.
This makes a good vehicle to have if you're homeless and can't afford a house in today's market. Plenty of room to sleep in while carrying around your luggage.
Based on some of the changes (HEV variant, removable 8 seats, etc) we know that Kia is listening to what their customers are saying SO WE GOTTA SAY AWD EVEN LOUDER NOW haha
Why is non of the kia or Hyundai vehicles are equipped with dashcam....I watch k dramas and in these new or old dramas every vehicles they show have dashcam...

Hi Lawrence! Thanks for the suggestion and for supporting us! We’ve been really impressed with this refresh and sounds like you are too! Cheers!

Which one is more expensive : SX Prestige 8 seater or 7 seater? And, so v6 is coming first? Thanks
Just bought the sx+ can you go into some detail about the cruise control turning it on and opting for regular cruise control
'25 Carnival...I somehow minimized the passenger view to the bottom right of the screen and don't recall how... How is this done?
Can the driver control the back vip seats?
Great reviews as I am close to getting a ‘24 Santa Fe. But did I catch a “Sportahhge” in there? 😂 Keep it up ladies.
Awesome!
The EX trim has the EV9-style wheel trims - the SX does not 😞 :-( Is there a way to get EX wheels on a SX ?
I’m confused in that this is an SX with heads-up display in the description, but in the US you have to upgrade to the SX Premium according to the Kia website. Is the Canadian version different or am I missing something?
Depending on the country, vehicles can have different specs and names! This is SX is the Canadian spec and includes heads up display!
This is the equivalent to SXP in the US. Ambient lighting, 360 view, rear mirror cam, black pentagon wheels, HUD, Bose sound etc. View trim comparison chart on official Kia site for your country.
Finally the camera quality has improved 👍🏻
Does the LX trim have the blind spot warning (not monitor - camera). The red / orange light in sideview mirrors and beep warning in cabin?
Yes it does!
Does the 2025 also have the hands free tailgate lift by lifying your foot under the rear bumper
Great detailed review.
How much is the 25 Carnival SX? And does it come with a tow hitch
The MSRP $51, 895 CAD. This doesn’t include freight, air, or admin fees. It doesn’t come with a hitch, but it is an available accessory.
Hi , just curious , why no rear view entertainment system in Canada ? It would be good for a long drive and keep the family occupied .
Is this a sold unit or a demo notice you've been live streaming with the same vehicle for a week now if available I'd be interested in placing an offer I am in the GTA
How much is the price in India
Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto ??
Yes and yes
Why Asia and Australia they have shift knob, but North America version is still using stick shifter?
Never understood the design logic here. I much more prefer the knob as it takes less space and looks more modern. The shift knob makes it looks very dated.
The stick is used on all ICE vehicles, but any HEV, PHEV, or EVs are all a shift-by-wire.
Present from the Philippines 🙋
Yet another minivan review that should have shown the van with the second-row seats out to show the full cargo space.
when will the 25 hybrid be released??
We should see them in Canada in the fall - but we haven't been given a specific landing date.
Please detail review on KIA CARENS
We’re located in Canada and unfortunately we do not have that model here :(

Do these girls have their own insta for reviews?
Nice Mom Truck 😎
No more heels!

You can't drive your house, but you can live in your car
No AWD. What were they thinking?
Based on some of the changes (HEV variant, removable 8 seats, etc) we know that Kia is listening to what their customers are saying SO WE GOTTA SAY AWD EVEN LOUDER NOW haha
Why is non of the kia or Hyundai vehicles are equipped with dashcam....I watch k dramas and in these new or old dramas every vehicles they show have dashcam...
Where is the HYBRID?
Arriving later this year
