Kia Canada Announces Pricing and Specs for 2025 Carnival Hybrid

The wait is over for Canadian families looking to combine versatility with efficiency. Kia Canada has announced the arrival of the first-ever Carnival Hybrid, bringing an electrified powertrain to this popular family vehicle. With three distinct trim levels and competitive pricing, the 2025 Carnival Hybrid offers Canadian buyers new options in the minivan segment.

Hybrid Powertrain Performance and Efficiency

The 2025 Carnival Hybrid delivers impressive performance through its advanced powertrain system. At its heart lies a 1.6L turbocharged engine working in harmony with a 54kW drive motor - the most powerful in Kia's hybrid lineup. This combination generates a total system output of 242 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque, channeled through a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Carnival Hybrid achieves remarkable fuel efficiency ratings of 6.9L/100 km in city driving, 7.6 L/100 km on the highway, and a combined rating of 7.2L/100 km. Drivers can maximize efficiency using the adjustable regenerative braking system, controlled via paddle shifters.

Trim Levels and Pricing Structure

The 2025 Carnival Hybrid comes in three well-equipped trim levels. The entry-level LX+ HEV starts at $46,545 MSRP, making hybrid technology accessible to Canadian families. Moving up the range, the EX HEV is priced at $49,445 MSRP, while the top-tier SX+ HEV commands $56,445 MSRP. Each trim level builds upon the last, offering increasing levels of comfort, technology, and convenience features. The Carnival Hybrid will arrive at Canadian dealerships in early 2025.

Design and Exterior Updates

The 2025 Carnival Hybrid showcases Kia's latest design language with several premium touches. The front end features Kia's signature star map lighting, previously seen on the EV9, creating an immediate visual impact. Premium details include gunmetal finish bumper trims, moldings, and roof rails, complemented by door garnish and skid plates in matching finishes. A new black grille and wheel design complete the sophisticated appearance. For buyers seeking an even more distinctive look, SX and SX+ trims offer an available dark edition package, enhancing the vehicle's already sleek profile.
