Kia Carnival Hybrid officially accepted orders at dealers from January 6, 2025 and is expected to be delivered to customers before Lunar New Year 2025.
The Carnival Hybrid is equipped with a 1.6L SmartStream turbocharged engine with an electric motor, providing a combined output of up to 242 horsepower and 569 Nm of torque. According to the company's announcement, the fuel consumption of the new model is only about 4.95 liters / 100 km. This is an outstanding fuel consumption for a large vehicle, while meeting the goal of reducing emissions and being environmentally friendly.
In addition, the Carnival Hybrid also has a regenerative braking feature. Customers can customize the level of regenerative braking (increase or decrease the level of regenerative braking) through the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel when the vehicle is operating in Eco/Smart mode. This version is also equipped with additional air vents under the front bumper that automatically open and close according to operating conditions, helping to increase aerodynamic efficiency and save fuel.
The exterior of the Kia Carnival Hybrid is not much different from the pure internal combustion engine versions currently on the market, except for the HEV logo. The car still retains the same dimensions of 5,155 x 2,010 x 1,775 mm (length x width x height) with the front and rear LED light system design inspired by the Star-map constellations; 19-inch sporty wheels, designed with 3D geometric shapes and gray paint instead of black milled wheels like the Diesel version.
The interior is covered in reddish-brown leather with many high-end amenities such as: sunshades and independent dual sunroof; USB Type-C fast charging ports in all rows of seats; remote vehicle start; ECM anti-glare rearview mirror;...
