Despite the ongoing major exhibition event, the Japan Mobility Show 2023, in Tokyo, Kia has not let that stop them from unveiling two significant models this week. Following the introduction of the K5 2024 a few days ago, the Carnival 2024 is now officially revealed as well.
The Korean automaker has only shared exterior images of the vehicle. The minivan’s headlights and taillights have been completely redesigned and now feature a “T” shape that resembles the previous models.
It appears that the front grille has been updated and will have different variations depending on the version. The car shown in the image belongs to the Gravity version, which comes with dark metallic accents. Additionally, the front bumper of the vehicle has been redesigned after the removal of the fog lights.
Moving to the rear, the back of the 2024 Carnival looks smoother as there is no longer a handle to open the trunk. Another noticeable change is that the Kia logo is now positioned lower and no longer serves as a dividing point for the LED strip. The reflector lights attached to the rear bumper also appear to be slimmer than before.
Kia has not yet released interior images of the 2024 Carnival, but according to reports from the South Korean media, the car will feature a curved screen and fingerprint recognition technology similar to the new K5.
A more anticipated change lies under the hood, where it has been confirmed that the 2024 Carnival will be equipped with a hybrid powertrain, combining a turbocharged 1.6L gasoline engine with an electric motor, believed to be inherited from the Sorento. The power output of this hybrid powertrain has not been disclosed, but in the case of the Sorento SUV model, the combined power output is 227 horsepower.
Additional official details about the Kia Carnival 2024 will be announced in the near future.
