The Kia Carnival, known as the Sedona in some markets, is a minivan produced by the South Korean manufacturer Kia Motors from 1991 to 2001. It marked Kia's first venture into the minivan segment and represented a significant step in the company's expansion beyond its traditional small car offerings. The first-generation Carnival was based on the platform of the Mazda Bongo, a Japanese minivan, and featured a boxy, utilitarian design. It was available with a variety of four-cylinder petrol engines, ranging in power from 87 to 120 horsepower. The Carnival offered seating for up to nine passengers and featured a spacious interior, making it a popular choice for families and commercial fleets. Despite its initial success, the first-generation Carnival faced competition from established players like the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna, and it lacked the refinement and features of its rivals.

Despite its shortcomings, the Kia Carnival played a crucial role in establishing Kia's presence in the global market. It helped the company reach a wider customer base and proved that Kia could produce vehicles for diverse market segments. The Carnival paved the way for future generations of the minivan, which have been met with growing success and critical acclaim. While the 1991-2001 Carnival is no longer in production, its significance lies in its historical role as a pioneer in Kia's journey towards becoming a respected and reliable automotive manufacturer. The "Werkstatthandbuch," a repair manual, serves as a valuable resource for owners and mechanics seeking detailed information about the vehicle's design, operation, and maintenance procedures. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the Carnival, enabling effective repairs and ensuring its continued functionality.
