The '''Kia Carnival''' ({{langx|ko|기아 카니발}}) is a [[minivan]] manufactured by [[Kia]] since 1998. It is marketed globally under various [[nameplate]]s, prominently as the '''Kia Sedona'''.

The first-generation Carnival was introduced in January 1998,<ref>{{cite web|date=|title=Kia Sedona 98-10/01 Trupart Rear Wiper Blade: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike|url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sedona-98-10-Trupart-Wiper-Blade/dp/B00493N3BM|publisher=Amazon.co.uk|accessdate=2012-05-29}}</ref> and was marketed in a single, short wheelbase version. Second-generation models were marketed (2006–2014) in short and long wheelbase variants. A [[badge engineering|rebadged]] variant of the second generation was offered in North America as the '''Hyundai Entourage''' (2007–2009).<ref name="nyt2">{{cite news

Kia introduced its third-generation minivan in 2014, solely in a long wheelbase format. The fourth generation was introduced in 2020, when Kia also began using the Carnival nameplate worldwide.

The first generation model was manufactured and marketed differently for specific regions, including under a joint venture in the Chinese market with [[Yueda Kia|Dongfeng Yueda Kia]], as well as the '''Naza Ria''' in [[Malaysia]].

In Indonesia and the Philippines, both Carnival/Sedona names were used. Initially introduced as the Carnival in 2001, from 2003 onwards, it was renamed as the Sedona.

=== Markets ===
[[File:2001 Kia Carnival (KV II) Classic van (2015-07-03).jpg|thumb|left|2001 Kia Carnival Classic (pre-facelift, Australia)]]

==== Australia ====
In Australia, the Kia Carnival went on sale in 1999, with a standard 5-speed [[manual transmission|manual]] and 2.5&nbsp;L V6 producing 177&nbsp;hp (132&nbsp;kW). A 4-speed automatic was optional. In 2001, it outsold the [[Toyota Tarago]], becoming the top-selling minivan in the country. It was a sales leader again in 2004 and 2005 when sales peaked at 5,259 units.

==== Europe ====
In Europe, the first generation was available only with Rover's 2.5&nbsp;L [[Rover KV6 engine|KV6 engine]]<ref>{{cite web |last=Adams |first=Keith | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210302172344/https://www.aronline.co.uk/engines/engines-powertrain-in-the-1990s/ | url=https://www.aronline.co.uk/engines/engines-powertrain-in-the-1990s/ |title= KV6 ventures into the East... |work= AROnline | date = 2011-08-28 | archive-date=2021-03-02 }}</ref> 24V petrol with 163 PS and [[Euro 2]] standard emission level and the 2.9&nbsp;L [[turbo-diesel]] engine with 126 PS. From 2001, Kia Motors introduced the 2.5&nbsp;L ''KV6'' [[Euro 3]] with 150 PS and the 2.9&nbsp;L CRDi [[common rail]] [[diesel engine]] with 144 PS.

==== North America ====
In North America, the Sedona came equipped with a 3.5&nbsp;L Hyundai V6 engine making 195&nbsp;hp (145&nbsp;kW) and a 4-speed (later 5-speed) automatic transmission. Imported from South Korea, the first generation Sedona was little more than a nameplate-engineered Carnival II model and was offered only in an SWB format. As such, it didn’t offer equipment that many of its competitors had introduced, such as power sliding doors and liftgate, fold flat third row seating, navigation system, rear-view camera, or backup/parking sensors. Early Sedonas were rated at 15.6 L/100&nbsp;km (15.1 mpg) (city) and 10.9 L/100&nbsp;km (21.6 mpg) (highway), but the numbers improved slightly to 14.8 L/100&nbsp;km (15.9 mpg) (city) and 9.6 L/100&nbsp;km (24.5 mpg) (highway) for 2005 models.

In North America, the EX was the highest-level body style, offering cosmetic amenities like interior and exterior chrome accents, interior wood grain, leather wrapped steering wheel and gear shift knob, alloy wheels, optional leather appointed seating, sunroof and DVD player.

=== Facelift ===
The facelift model was first released in South Korea on 11 February 2001 as the '''Carnival II'''. In most markets, this model retained the Carnival name, while North American and some Asian markets renamed this model as the Sedona, which has been used in the United Kingdom since the pre-facelift model in September 1999. Left-hand drive models received a redesigned dashboard and door trim, while the right-hand drive models retained the previous dashboard and door trim design from the pre-facelift model.

Kia introduced the second generation Carnival/Sedona worldwide in 2005–in short (SWB) and long-wheelbase (LWB) models&nbsp;– with a 2-inch-wider front track, 3-inch-wider rear track and reduced turning radius<ref name="firstdrive">{{cite web |title=First Drive: 2006 Kia Sedona |publisher=Edmunds, Insideline.com | first=Erin | last=Riches | date=9 February 2006 |url=http://www.insideline.com/kia/sedona/2006/first-drive-2006-kia-sedona.html}}</ref> than the first generation.

[[File:2007 Kia Sedona LS 3.0 Rear.jpg|thumb|left|2007 Kia Sedona LS (pre-facelift, UK)]]

With a lighter engine, greater use of high-tensile steel in the body, and a lighter transmission and rear suspension, the second generation model weighed approximately 400&nbsp;lbs less than the first generation.<ref name="autoweek1">{{cite web |title=Higher prices and better quality push redesigned Sedona up-market |publisher=Autoweek | date=14 February 2006 |url=http://www.autoweek.com/article/20060214/FREE/60213004}}</ref>

In certain markets, Kia offered the minivan in both wheelbases (e.g., in North America, Australia) or in other markets, simply as the short-wheelbase configuration (e.g., UK, France). Globally, the minivan was offered with four engines as well as manual and automatic transmissions.

Equipment content varied widely by market–including such features as six airbags (front, front side and air curtain), [[Anti-lock braking system]] (ABS) with [[Electronic Brakeforce Distribution]] (EBD), [[Electronic Stability Control]] (ESC) with [[Traction Control]] System (TCS) & Brake Assist System (BAS), dual or tri-zone heating and cooling, "walk through" aisle between the front seats with fold-down tray, tilt/height adjustable steering wheel, [[Isofix]] anchor points, rear side sliding doors with "hold open" locking feature (to prevent an open door from inadvertently closing), second row power roll-down windows, third row 60/40-fold-in-floor seat (LWB only), power sliding doors and liftgate, backup sensors, and in-dash navigation.

In European and Asian markets, the SWB models offered a full range of options and available equipment, with a 2+3+2 seating configuration (an essential format in a large MPV for Europe).<ref name="carpages1">{{cite web |title=Kia Sedona Review |publisher=Carpages.co.uk | date=10 November 2006 |url=http://www.carpages.co.uk/kia/kia-sedona-review-part-1-10-11-06.asp}}</ref> By contrast, in North America the SWB model was offered only in a base equipment level, with the 2+3+2 seating configuration and high-end options exclusive to LWB models.

=== Markets ===

==== United States ====
Kia introduced the second-generation Sedona to the North American market at the [[Chicago Auto Show]] in February 2005 for the 2006 model year offering a single engine/transmission choice, the 240&nbsp;hp 3.8-litre [[V6 engine|V6]] [[Hyundai Lambda engine]] with continuously variable intake valve timing and a five-speed [[Kick-down|manumatic automatic transmission]].<ref name="autoweek2">{{cite web |title=2005 Chicago: Kia keeps pressure on minivan leaders with redesigned Sedona |publisher=  | work = Autoweek | first = Dale | last = Jewett | date = 2005-02-11 |url=http://www.autoweek.com/article/20050211/FREE/502110703}}</ref>

[[File:2011 Kia Sedona LX -- 04-22-2011.jpg|thumb|left|2011 Kia Sedona LX (facelift, US)]]
Initially offered only in long-wheelbase (LWB) form, the short-wheelbase (SWB) model followed for the 2007 model year.<ref name="autoweek2"/> Trim levels include ''Sedona'' (SWB), ''Sedona LX'' (LWB) and ''Sedona EX'' (LWB). A [[Rebadging|rebadged]] version of the second generation was offered from 2007 to 2009 as the [[#Hyundai Entourage|Hyundai Entourage]].

The van was updated for the 2011 model year with a new ''Tiger Nose'' grille and taillights, a more powerful engine and a six-speed automatic transmission, but dropped the short-wheelbase version because of poor sales.<ref name="Kpress2">{{cite web |title=Interview with Peter Schreyer, Chief Design Officer |publisher=Kia Press, 2 March 2010 |quote=The Kee concept that we showed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2007 was the first car that introduced our distinctive new grille&nbsp;– the 'tiger nose' as its now known," explains the 57-year-old German. "When we started on this tiger nose," he reaches for pencil and paper and begins to sketch the Kia face with swift and assured strokes, "I wanted a powerful visual signal, a seal, an identifier. The front of a car needs this recognition, this expression. A car needs a face and I think the new Kia face is strong and distinctive. Visibility is vital and that face should immediately allow you to identify a Kia even from a distance. |url=http://www.kia-press.com/presskits/motorshows/geneva%202010/interview%20with%20peter%20schreyer.aspx}}</ref>

The North American configuration earned a five-star safety rating from the [[National Highway Traffic Safety Administration]] for all seating positions in frontal and side-impact crashes. The [[Insurance Institute for Highway Safety]] also rated the Sedona "Good"&nbsp;– its highest rating&nbsp;– in front, side and rear impacts. The IIHS has christened the 2006 Sedona a "Gold Top Safety Pick", making the Sedona (and the similar Hyundai Entourage) the safest minivan currently tested.<ref>http://www.iihs.org/news/rss/pr112106.html {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111010190513/http://www.iihs.org/news/rss/pr112106.html |date=2011-10-10 }} Kia Sedona, Hyundai Entourage Sweep IIHS Minivan Safety Awards</ref><ref>http://minivans.about.com/b/a/000054.htm {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071014031744/http://minivans.about.com/b/a/000054.htm |date=2007-10-14 }} 2007 Top Safety Pick award winners: award criteria are tougher; SUVs eligible for first time</ref> Kia had announced that the 2012 Kia Sedona will be the last Sedona for the American market.

==== United Kingdom ====
The second-generation Sedona was the second top-selling large MPV in the UK market, and in 2010 received a new grille, new equipment (including a reversing camera built into the rear-view mirror) and a single engine choice, a 192 PS 2.2 CRDi [[Straight-four engine|inline-four]] replacing the 183 PS 2.9 CRDi.<ref name="buscar">{{cite web |title=Kia Sedona: Test Drive Review | work =BusinessCAR | publisher = NS Media Group | date = 2009-10-20 | first = Tristan | last = Young |url=http://www.businesscar.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=2&storycode=5201 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160529010341/https://www.businesscar.co.uk/tests/2009/kia-sedona-test-drive-review | archive-date = 2016-05-29 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.covercars.com/cars/36126 |title=Bargain Hunter: Kia Sedona MPV |date=2011-02-22 |author=Daniel Cobbs |publisher=CoverCars |access-date=2012-05-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120512062936/http://www.covercars.com/cars/36126 |archive-date=2012-05-12 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The second generation was marketed in three trim levels (1, 2 and 3) with a 5-speed manual transmission or six-speed automatic gearbox. Trim level 1 included air conditioning and electric windows. Trim level 2 received alloy wheels, rear parking camera with the display incorporated into the rear-view mirror, and climate control. Trim level 3 added electronic stability control, leather seats, heated front seats, power tailgate and powered folding door mirrors.

In September 2012, the Sedona was withdrawn from the UK market due to poor sales.

The second-generation Carnival went on sale in Australia in January 2006. Initially, the long-wheelbase 3.8L V6 5-speed automatic Grand Carnival was sold alongside the previous generation 2.5L V6 Carnival, until the second-generation SWB Carnival arrived in August of that year, available in both 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic, and new 2.7L V6 engine. Both models sat 8 passengers. A 2.9L turbo diesel engine was introduced in the Grand Carnival in March 2009. In June 2010, the Carnival and Grand Carnival underwent a mild facelift, the manual transmission was dropped from the SWB model, and the LWB model received a new 3.5L V6 and 6-speed automatic. In 2011, the SWB Carnival was dropped entirely, while the LWB model gained the new 2.2L "R" series diesel engine, replacing the previous 2.9L engine. The Carnival was Australia's best-selling people mover between 2007 and 2013.

From 2006 to 2009, Kia manufactured a [[Rebadging|rebadged]] variant of the Carnival for sister company [[Hyundai Motor Company|Hyundai]]. Manufactured in Kia's [[List of Kia design and manufacturing facilities#Manufacturing facilities|Sohari Plant]] and marketed as the '''Hyundai Entourage''', the  production Entourage was shown at the [[Chicago Auto Show#2006|Chicago Auto Show]] in February 2006 and went on sale in April 2006 in long wheelbase form.

The Entourage was powered by the company's 3.8 L [[Hyundai Lambda engine|Lambda]] [[V6 engine|V6]], seated seven, and offered optional equipment including automatic climate control, leather seating, power sliding doors and tailgate, reverse sensors, and a six-disc in-dash [[CD changer]].

In April 2009, the Entourage was discontinued in North America for the 2010 model year. Entourage's revised styling was adopted in South Korea as a facelift for the Kia Carnival, except for revised grilles suited to the Kia brand.

==== Trim levels ====
* The (base) GLS model features 16-inch wheels, removable second-row captain's chairs, 60/40 split-folding third-row fold-in-floor seat, a six-way manual-adjustable driver seat, tri-zone air-conditioning, six-speaker CD stereo, cruise control, power windows and door locks and keyless entry.
* The SE level adds 17-inch alloys, dual power-sliding rear doors, heated mirrors, automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls wood or metal accents and an eight-way power-adjustable driver seat.
* The Limited trim level includes a power opening/closing liftgate, heated leather seats and an [[Electroluminescence|electroluminescent]] instrument cluster – with optional sunroof, 13-speaker surround-sound audio system, four-way power front-passenger seat, power-adjustable pedals and seating memory system.

==== Awards ====
The American configuration of the Hyundai Entourage earned a five-star safety rating–the highest honor the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bestows–for all seating positions in frontal and side-impact crashes. The [[Insurance Institute for Highway Safety]] (IIHS) rates the Entourage "Good"–its highest rating – in front, side and rear impacts. The IIHS rated the 2007 Entourage a "Gold Top Safety Pick," making Entourage with the similar Kia Sedona the safest minivans tested for 2007.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/TSP-List/2007|title=2007 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICKs|website=www.iihs.org}}</ref>

The 2009 Hyundai Entourage minivan was recognized as a Best Family Car for 2009 by Parents magazine and Edmunds.com in their annual list of family vehicles.<ref>[http://www.hyundainews.com/Corporate_News/Corporate/05_19_2009_3115.asp HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE NAMED A BEST FAMILY CAR FOR 2009 BY PARENTS MAGAZINE AND EDMUNDS.COM] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722143102/http://www.hyundainews.com/Corporate_News/Corporate/05_19_2009_3115.asp |date=2011-07-22 }} 05/19/2009, hyundainews.com</ref>

The Hyundai Entourage ranked 3rd for the "20 least expensive 2009 vehicles to insure" list by Insure.com. According to research, the Entourage is one of the least expensive vehicle to insure. Low rates tend to reflect a vehicle's safety, and the drivers who tend to buy them.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/daily-news/090603-The-Most-Expensive-Cars-to-Insure/ | title=The Most Expensive Cars to Insure | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160110211546/http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/daily-news/090603-The-Most-Expensive-Cars-to-Insure/ |archivedate=2016-01-10 | date=3 June 2009 | publisher=U.S. News Rankings & Reviews}}</ref>
