The Kia Carnival, known as the Sedona in some markets, is a minivan produced by the South Korean automaker Kia Motors from 2001 to 2021. The first generation, encompassing the model years 2002 to 2005, was a significant departure from Kia's previous offerings, showcasing a more modern and refined design. Built on a platform shared with the Hyundai Entourage, the Carnival offered a spacious and comfortable interior with seating for up to eight passengers. It was powered by a 2.7-liter V6 engine producing 173 horsepower, mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The Carnival's standard features included power windows, air conditioning, and a AM/FM radio, while higher trim levels added options like cruise control, power sliding doors, and a premium audio system. While the first-generation Kia Carnival didn't quite achieve the same level of popularity as its Japanese rivals, it was still a competent and affordable option for families seeking a practical and comfortable minivan. Its spacious cabin, versatile seating arrangements, and reliable engine made it a suitable choice for everyday use and long road trips. The Carnival's relatively simple design and robust construction translated into decent reliability, though some owners reported issues with the transmission and electrical systems. Despite its age, the first-generation Carnival remains a popular choice in the used car market, offering a balance of affordability and practicality for budget-conscious buyers.
