The 2024 Kia Carnival facelift is the big Aussie family bus that went to a day spa: sharper "star-map" LED lighting, a beefier grille, and tidier bumpers front and rear. Inside, it scores larger dual displays, cleaner switchgear, and extra safety tech so the school run feels a bit less gladiatorial. Powertrains largely carry over (market dependent), with the familiar V6 petrol and 2.2 diesel still the go-to options, and a hybrid appearing in select regions. Ride and noise insulation are improved, so it’s quieter when the back rows are plotting snack mutiny. Expect pricing to nudge upward versus the pre-facelift, in exchange for the new looks and toys.
