Kia is renowned for its commitment to design innovation, and the 2025 Carnival is no exception, even for a mid-cycle refresh. The headlights take on a new shape, somewhat resembling a “T,” and incorporate design elements inspired by Kia’s latest electric vehicles (EVs). The front grille has been revamped with a broader lower section and a modified pattern. While it’s not entirely clear from the images, it appears that the fog lights have been repositioned, and the bumper receives a fresh look.
Continuing with the facelift, the overall profile remains largely unchanged, though the two-tone wheels might be a new addition. At the rear, the taillights mirror the design changes at the front, forming a “T” shape and connecting in the middle through an updated light bar. Notably, the Kia badge has been repositioned below the light bar, deviating from its previous position. The rear bumper has also undergone some modifications, although they are relatively subtle, as one would expect from a minivan.
