2024 Kia Carnival: Exterior

The 2024 Kia Carnival has undergone a significant transformation, stepping away from its previous design to embrace a bold, SUV-inspired look. At the front, a wider and more dominant grille takes centre stage, flanked by vertically stacked LED headlights and L-shaped daytime running lights (DRLs). Its road presence is further enhanced by striking new 18-inch alloy wheels.

Side body cladding adds to its rugged, adventure-ready persona, replacing the van-like profile with a more dynamic and robust aesthetic. At the rear, the Carnival features Kia’s signature connected LED tail lights, reminiscent of the brand’s latest design language seen on models like the updated Kia Seltos and the Sonet. These updates collectively give the vehicle a more muscular appearance rather than a MPV like stance.
