For example, the base model LX's price will rise from $34,995 in 2024 to $37,895 in 2025. This $2,900 increase brings enhanced features including a 3.5-liter V-6 engine with 287 horsepower, seven-passenger seating, front-wheel drive with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and advanced tech such as a 12.3-inch touchscreen and comprehensive driver assist systems.
Other models in the lineup also see similar increments. The LXS model will jump from $36,995 to $39,895 while the EX trim increases by $1,600 to reach $42,095. The SX model will go up by $3,300 to a new price of $46,995. The SX Prestige-the most luxurious variant-will now cost $51,995 compared to last year's price of $48,095.
The options for each trim level reveal that starting prices are generally higher compared to their standard counterparts by approximately two to three thousand dollars. For instance, the LXS Hybrid is listed at $41,895 while its standard version is at $39,895.
The hybrid model combines a 1.6-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a 54-kW motor resulting in a combined output of 242 hp and 271 pound-feet of torque. These models use a six-speed automatic transmission and are front-wheel drive but are notable because they don't offer electric-only range and currently have no fuel mileage estimates available.
For U.S. consumers interested in purchasing these new models in Kia's Carnival lineup for 2025, the standard models are available for order now. However, those looking for hybrid variants can expect them in dealerships this fall only.
