Should I buy a used Kia Carnival now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −17.66% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −8.69%.
- Deal availability: The 2025 model has 37.2% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 36.1%.

Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The Carnival is only offered with a 3.5-liter V6 engine connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD), and it is EPA-rated at 22 mpg combined (19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway).
- Tech: The base LX trim level gets an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, while other trim levels upgrade to a 12.3-inch touchscreen as well as a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
- Safety: Standard safety features include blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, a driver attention monitor, automatic high beams, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking.
- Starting price: Pricing for the 2024 Kia Carnival starts at $34,995 for the base LX grade.
If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.

Why it stands out
The 2023 Kia Carnival stands out by making a practical family vehicle look and feel more stylish than the usual minivan. Kia’s own positioning calls it a multi-purpose vehicle, but its sliding doors and lack of all-wheel drive or a lifted suspension make its minivan roots clear. That contrast is part of its appeal: it delivers the everyday usefulness shoppers want while trying to avoid the stigma that often comes with the segment.
It also brings a strong mix of technology and value. The test-drive data highlights impressive technology and excellent value for money, which helps explain why the Carnival can feel like a smart buy rather than just a sensible one. Its main drawbacks are also straightforward: all-wheel drive is not available, there is no hybrid option, and highway noise is a noted weakness.
