Kia’s got something new cookin’ – the Carnival facelift is on the horizon, and they’re letting us peek inside the revamped cabin. First off, the big news – say goodbye to the chunky gear lever; there’s a sleek little rotary gear selector in town now. The center console is embracing the less-is-more philosophy, trimming down on buttons. And guess what? They’ve spiced up the dual-screen setup for the infotainment system and added some vibrant yellow accents on the dashboard and front door cards.
Underneath the hood, Kia’s playing it coy, but they’ve spilled the beans on a hybrid powertrain option. Joining the ranks of gasoline and diesel variants in South Korea, the Carnival is up for preorders starting this week. They’re throwing in some mechanical upgrades too – better shock absorbers for a smoother ride and extra sound-deadening magic for that library-quiet cabin.
