## The KIA Carnival (Sedona) 2003: A Family-Focused Minivan The 2003 KIA Carnival, also known as the Sedona in some markets, marked the second generation of this popular minivan. It offered families a spacious and versatile option for transportation, building on the success of its predecessor. Built on a unibody platform, the Carnival boasted a roomy interior with three rows of seating, capable of comfortably accommodating up to eight passengers. Its flexible seating arrangement allowed for easy customization, transforming the cabin into a cargo-hauling powerhouse with seats folded down. The Carnival's design emphasized practicality, with sliding doors for easy access and a low floor for easy entry and exit. Under the hood, the 2003 Carnival offered a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine or a 2.7-liter V6 engine, depending on the market. The four-cylinder option provided adequate power for most driving needs while the V6 offered a more spirited driving experience. Both engines were paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, delivering smooth and reliable power delivery. Safety features included standard dual front airbags, and optional side airbags were available. Along with its convenient features and spacious accommodations, the Carnival was praised for its affordability and reliability, making it a compelling choice for growing families. It remained in production until 2005, leaving behind a legacy of practicality and value.
