Kia released the prices for the 2025 Carnival, which include a $2900 increase in the base price to $37,895. Starting at $41,895, the LXS is the base trim level for the 2019 Carnival Hybrid. The base LX is the only trim level that doesn’t have the hybrid motor, which costs $2,000 more than the V-6 engine. In 2025, Kia made changes to the stylish Carnival minivan, such as adding new LED headlights and taillights and making the hood bigger. Kia has also added a hybrid drivetrain choice to the Carnival and changed the way it looks. It has an electric motor and a 1.6-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine that together makes 242 horsepower. Kia has already said how much the 2025 Carnival will cost, and everything has gone up by a few thousand dollars. The new hybrid engine also costs an extra $2,000. The least expensive Kia Carnival model is still the LX, which starts at $37,895, which is $2,900 more than it did for the 2024 model year. The starting price of the LXS goes up to $39,895, and it gets more features, like being able to fit eight people. The least expensive way to get a hybrid engine is to buy the LXS, which starts at $41,895. The base price of the Carnival EX goes up to $42,095, which includes beautiful 19-inch wheels and other improvements to the inside. That’s $1600 more than last year. The brand-new Hybrid EX costs $44,095. With LED fog lights, two 115-volt power sources, and two sunroofs, the SX upgrade costs $46,995, which is $3,300 more than the base model. The price tag on the Hybrid SX is now $2,000 more than it was before. The SX Prestige, the top model in the Carnival line, comes with extras like a heated steering wheel and black outer trim. It used to cost $48,095 to buy an SX Prestige, but now it costs $51,995 ($53,995 for the hybrid). Even though the Toyota Sienna costs more to start than the Carnival, it has a hybrid engine with 245 horsepower and costs less than the Carnival Hybrid at $39,080. Both of these minivans are less expensive than the Honda Odyssey, which doesn’t come with a hybrid motor. The Chrysler Pacifica is still the only minivan with a plug-in hybrid engine, even though it costs more than $50,000.
