2025 Kia Carnival: The Hybrid Minivan Making Waves in Utica and Rome, NY

Award-Winning Family Versatility, Now at Destination Kia of Utica

If you’re a busy parent in Utica, Rome, or anywhere in Oneida County, you know how important it is to have a vehicle that keeps up with your family’s daily demands. That’s why the 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid, now available at Destination Kia of Utica in Yorkville, NY, is turning heads—and earning national recognition.

This year, the Carnival drove away with two major wins from the 2025 PARENTS Best Family Cars Awards, including Best Hybrid Minivan and Best In-Car Multimedia/Entertainment System. It’s official: this is the minivan built for modern parenting.

Built for Real Life in Central New York

Upstate living brings it all- morning traffic, weekend road trips, and school pick-up lines—and the 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid is engineered to handle it with grace. With up to 145.1 cubic feet of cargo space, seating for eight, and Slide-Flex second-row seating that allows easy access to child seats, this minivan doesn’t just make room for your family—it makes life easier.

Standard safety features like Rear Occupant Alert and Safe Exit Assist offer peace of mind during hectic school drop-offs or when you’re parallel parking on Genesee Street. And because the 2025 Carnival is a hybrid, you’ll enjoy better fuel economy without compromising performance, ideal for families traveling between Rome and Utica or heading out on longer I-90 adventures.

Smart Tech for Smarter Drives

Long gone are the days of clunky, outdated infotainment. The 2025 Carnival is equipped with Kia’s next-generation Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC), which just won Best In-Car Multimedia/Entertainment System from PARENTS magazine.

This system features:

• Quick Controls for fast access to your most-used features
  
• Over-the-air updates to keep your vehicle’s software current
  
• A user-friendly interface that works with you—not against you—while keeping your passengers happy and entertained
  

Perfect for navigating detours in downtown Utica or syncing your route for a day trip to the Adirondacks.
