rmc523 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 2025 Kia Carnival revealed with new hybrid powertrain option - Autoblog At the Chicago Auto Show, it revealed that the Carnival is getting a hybrid powertrain, helping it compete against the hybrid-only Toyota Sienna, and available plug-in hybrid in the Chrysler Pacifica. It's a familiar unit: the turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder coupled with a 72-horsepower electric motor also found in the Kia Sportage and Sorento hybrids. It makes 242 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque between the engine and motor. The only transmission is a six-speed automatic, and like the standard V6 model, it just powers the front wheels. 2025 Kia K5 gets new look, more power, and better tech in Chicago - Autoblog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I like the styling of both of these vehicles. Of the Korean siblings, Kia’s styling has been significantly better than Hyundai’s, IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
