2023 Kia Carnival SX Specs

Kia Carnival SX For Sale 2023 Kia Carnival Review

Check the price in your area:

The SX is the first Carnival trim that surpasses the $40,000 mark, but it goes some way towards justifying that higher price. Additional equipment over the EX trim includes extras like LED fog lamps and ventilated front seats. It also promises a quieter ride thanks to acoustic glass for the front side doors. At the touch of a button, the wing mirrors can fold electrically. Front seating is improved in this trim, because the driver’s seat gains memory functions and the passenger has an eight-way power-adjustable seat. On the safety side, the SX gets reverse parking collision avoidance and a surround-view monitor to improve the driver’s view around the vehicle.
