2025 Kia Carnival for Sale near Chicago, IL
2025 Kia Carnival with optional features shown above (left).
Take the helm of the 2025 Kia Carnival to embark on exciting adventures with your loved ones in Chicago with comfort and security! This minivan is a family favorite here at McGrath Kia of Highland Park for good reason. Schedule your test drive to learn what the fanfare is all about.
Performance
You can expect both muscle and reliability from the 2025 Carnival, as it’s rigged with a standard 3.5L V6 engine rumbling with 287 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. If your current vehicle often dampens your household’s desire to hit the road due to how much gas it consumes, Kia’s flagship minivan will do the exact opposite, because it comes with a standard Eco drive mode that optimizes fuel efficiency. Epic journeys may require you to take extra cargo with you, in which case this vehicle’s 3,500-lb. maximum towing capacity1 will be of great assistance! You won’t be disappointed with the ride quality this model provides either, as the standard independent MacPherson strut front and independent multi-link rear suspension systems are designed to minimize the effects of bumps on the road.
Comfort
Even when extended road trips force you and passengers with you to spend hours in the cabin, you’ll feel pampered inside the 2025 Kia Carnival. Second-row occupants can enjoy a first-class experience with the optional VIP Lounge Seats that fully recline at the touch of a button. Since everyone on board deserves a view of the expansive sky above, dual power sunroofs are available for the benefit of third-row guests. Customizability is important when it comes to air conditioning inside a vehicle as cavernous as the Carnival, which is why it comes standard with a tri-zone automatic climate control system. When the cold front arrives from Lake Michigan in the winter, you can keep yourself and others warm with the help of the available heated2 front and middle-row chairs.
Safety
The protection of your family is probably always on your mind when you’re behind the wheel on Interstate 290 and beyond. To alleviate this burden on your shoulders, the Kia Carnival comes standard with many safety features. First of all, you can confidently move over to the next lane without worrying about bumping into a car, thanks to the standard Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist3 notifying you when it’s risky to do so. On residential streets, passersby can jump in front of you unexpectedly. In that case, the standard Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist4 will be able to detect the frontal obstacle and apply the brakes even before your body reacts. If you feel daunted by the idea of maneuvering a car as large as the Carnival in tight spots, you can relax, because it comes standard with a Park Distance Warning5 in the front and rear. For further assistance, you can opt for the available Surround View Monitor6 as well! Visit us to test these features out for yourself.
What Is the 2025 Kia Carnival's Fuel Economy Rating?

The General Manager of the dealership Jason Press was totally invested in the process and made sure his team was focused on delivering a flawless customer experience.

It was a great experience working with the McGrath team and we are so happy with our new Telluride! ”

Huge thanks to Pejman, my salesperson, and Paul in finance for making the whole process feel easy and straightforward. They worked hard to put a deal together that made sense for me, and I really appreciated their transparency and efficiency. Grateful to have a dealership I can trust. I’ll definitely be back again. ”

I came across Charlie’s post on social media and reached out to him. He was incredibly patient, answering all my questions about specs and financing. I decided to meet him the next day to discuss things in person and take the car for a test drive."As we spoke, I realized he is a genuinely great person—polite and incredibly patient. He walked me through all the features and explained exactly how everything worked. I felt I could truly trust him, so I let him handle the process. He offered a price I simply couldn't refuse, and the interest rate was well within my budget. I highly recommend that everyone go to Charlie for their next car. Thank you for the excellent service today!" ”

“ Nicolas Vazquez worked to find the right car for us and get it to us in a short time frame. He was available via text when we left to work things out and matched a deal from competitor. Showed me the whole facility so it's easy when I come back for service. Clean showroom. A little small now but it's getting an addition of both showroom and service space. Friendly, easy to work with. I filled out my credit application before going in, which shortened the transaction process but I was still there 2 hours. Lots of time spent with finance person offering packages we frankly didn't want. She was friendly throughout. I'm excited about the new car-- it's super safe and fun to drive. Good experience all around. ”
“ Great dealership. Great people. Highly recommend. ”
“ We chose McGrath because they had the used vehicle we were interested. Nicolas was our salesperson that greeted us. He was professional, knowledgeable and a joy to work with without a lot of high pressure tactics. ”
“ My partner and I had a great experience buying our new kia k4. Jared was great explaining all the extras and giving his own opinion on them, trying to ensure we stayed within our budget. Paul was also very helpful explaining the warranty when we were meeting with the finance department. Shoutout also to Tracy for speaking with my partner on the phone yesterday and helping him out. I'm sure that we will love our new kia and I'm grateful to the staff for being patient with our little guy. ”
“ Highland park Kia is a legit place to go. I had a great experience, i unfortunately had a transmission issue and got towed to world Kia Joliet. I picked up my car from world Kia Joliet when they told me it was repaired. When I picked up the car from world Kia Joliet, the car was making noises so I took it to highland park Kia. Highland park Kia, showed me the faulty work that world Kia Joliet did and sent me a video on the issues. This was very helpful and helped me out. In my experience, McGrath Kia of Highland Park is a business of integrity, and puts their customers first. I would recommend McGrath to anyone for their service needs. ”
