Kia Carnival Hybrid

EPA MPG: 33 mpg

Road Test

Kia’s roomy, comfortable, and refined Carnival is now available in a fuel-efficient hybrid model. However, apparently calling this a “minivan” is a no-no in Kia-speak, as the automaker refers to the Carnival as an “MPV,” or “multi-purpose vehicle,” in its marketing.
