2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid Arrives in Canada: Pricing and Features Revealed

Kia Canada has revealed the pricing structure for its first-ever Carnival Hybrid, offering Canadian families three well-equipped trim levels. The LX+ HEV starts at $46,545 MSRP, providing an accessible entry point into hybrid minivan ownership. Moving up the range, the EX HEV is priced at $49,445 MSRP, while the range-topping SX+ HEV comes in at $56,445 MSRP. These new models are set to arrive at Canadian dealerships in early 2025.

Each Carnival Hybrid trim level pairs a 1.6L turbocharged engine with an electric motor, delivering a combined 242 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid system features a 54kW drive motor—the most powerful in Kia's hybrid lineup. This powertrain combination achieves impressive fuel economy ratings of 6.9L/100 km in city driving, 7.6 L/100 km on the highway, and 7.2L/100 km combined, making it an economical choice for daily family transportation.

The 2025 Carnival Hybrid showcases premium design elements across all price points. The front end features Kia's signature star map lighting, previously seen on the EV9, creating a distinctive presence on the road. Gunmetal finish bumper trims, mouldings, roof rails, door garnish, and skid plates complement the new black grille and wheels. For buyers of the SX and SX+ trims, a dark edition package adds an extra layer of sophistication to the exterior aesthetics.

The Carnival Hybrid represents a strategic investment in family transportation technology. Each trim level includes paddle shifters that allow drivers to adjust regenerative braking levels, maximizing energy recovery and efficiency. As David Sherrard, Director of Strategic Planning at Kia Canada, notes, the Carnival serves as a versatile life utility vehicle capable of meeting diverse family needs. The pricing structure reflects this adaptability, offering various seating configurations, convenience features, and safety technologies across the range. From the well-equipped LX+ to the premium SX+, each trim level delivers specific features and amenities that align with different budget requirements and family preferences.

Introducing these competitively priced hybrid variants positions the Carnival as a forward-thinking option in the minivan segment. With its arrival in early 2025, Canadian families will have access to a fuel-efficient, feature-rich vehicle that combines practicality with modern design.
