It’s been approximately three and a half years since Kia introduced the fourth-generation Carnival, and in today’s fast-paced automotive landscape, shorter life cycles are becoming the norm. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the minivan is already due for a mid-cycle facelift. Kia has officially confirmed that the refreshed family hauler will make its debut before the year’s end, and eagle-eyed enthusiasts in South Korea recently spotted it while shooting an advertisement. Thanks to the age of smartphones and social media, the first images of the updated Carnival made their way to Instagram.
