The Kia Carnival is available with two engine options. The first is a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 290 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. The second is a 2.2-liter four-cylinder diesel engine that generates 202 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and come standard with front-wheel drive. The V6 engine provides quick acceleration and smooth power delivery, while the diesel engine offers better fuel efficiency and more low-end torque for improved towing and hauling capabilities.
The Kia Carnival is equipped with a 2.2-liter diesel engine that delivers a maximum power of 200 PS at 3,800 rpm. This engine offers a good balance of power and efficiency, suitable for both city driving and highway cruising.
The Kia Carnival can reach a top speed of approximately 190 km/h. This MPV is designed to offer a comfortable and smooth ride rather than high-speed performance, making it well-suited for long-distance travel.
