CR recently purchased a 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid EX for our test program. While sharing many of the traits of the standard Carnival minivan, or multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) as Kia calls it, it now comes with a hybrid drivetrain, which aims to provide fuel savings for those who need to haul around a lot of people, cargo, or both. But does it deliver on that promise?
