The Kia Carnival, known as the Sedona in some markets, is a minivan that was first introduced by Kia Motors in 2001 for the 2002 model year. The first generation of the Carnival, spanning from 2002 to 2005, emerged as a significant offering in the minivan segment, particularly in its affordability and practicality. It was built on a modified Hyundai Santa Fe platform, sharing several components with its sibling. The Carnival was available in both standard and long-wheelbase versions, offering seating configurations ranging from seven to eight passengers. It was powered by a 2.7-liter V6 engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, providing adequate power for daily driving and family outings.

The 2002-2005 Kia Carnival was known for its spacious and versatile interior, offering ample cargo space behind the third-row seats. It also featured a wide range of standard features, including power windows, locks, and mirrors, as well as air conditioning and a CD player. While the Carnival didn't boast the same level of luxury as some of its competitors, it was praised for its value for money and its spacious, functional design. It was a popular choice for families looking for a reliable and affordable minivan with a comfortable ride. The Carnival's success established the foundation for the model's future evolution, paving the way for subsequent generations to further refine its features and enhance its appeal in the ever-competitive minivan market.
