THE current-generation Kia Carnival has been on the market for about two years, providing the perfect time for a mid-cycle facelift. And with the 2025 Kia Carnival, the South Korean automaker aims to continue refining its formula for what a premium multipurpose vehicle (MPV) should be.

When the current Kia Carnival arrived in the Philippines, it blended traditional MPV elements with the rugged, crossover SUV looks that consumers favor today. The facelifted 2025 model builds on this, featuring a more angular and boxier mesh grille, vertical slim LED headlights, and LED taillights. A full-width light bar connects the taillights, giving the rear a bold nighttime appearance. New front and rear bumpers complete the aesthetic upgrades.
