2025 Kia Carnival Gets Sharper Styling and Adds a 242-HP Hybrid Model
Kia first revealed the refreshed 2025 Carnival for the Korean market back in October, with new front and rear designs that mirror the 2025 Kia Sorento. Now at the 2024 Chicago auto show, Kia has unveiled the facelifted version of the minivan that will reach the United States this summer. Along with sharper looks and bigger screens, the major news is the addition of a new hybrid variant that will be offered on four of the Carnival's five trims. The second-level LXS trim will be the cheapest way to get the hybrid powertrain, which will also be offered in the EX, SX, and top-tier SX Prestige. The Carnival HEV pairs a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder with a 72-hp electric motor, good for a combined 242 ponies and 271 pound-feet of torque and sent through a six-speed automatic transmission.

2024 Kia Sorento starts at $33,365, which is $1,600 more than in 2023
We finally have pricing for the non-hybrid 2024 Kia Sorento. Remember, the hybrid and non-hybrid have grown apart for this model year, the non-hybrid getting first crack at bolder styling, a new tech interface encased within a slick curved housing, more standard features, a new off-road(ish) X-Pro trim level. The 2024 Kia Sorento Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid don’t get any of that, and are the same midsize, three-row SUV you could get last model year; the hybrids will raise their game for the 2025 model year. Even though we've already covered hybrid 2024 Sorento pricing, it's up a few hundred dollars since the last time we visited. So we're listing all Sorento figures again here, to provide a fuller picture after the new non-hybrid pricing.

2024 Kia Sorento's Pretty New Face Will Cost You at Least $33,365
Plastic surgery isn't cheap, and Kia is passing the cost of the 2024 Sorento's facelift on to consumers by way of a $1600 bump to its base price. The base LX now starts at $33,365, and the new X-Pro off-road trim level tops off the lineup at $48,765. What does the Sorento's update include? Well, a far more handsome mug and a revised interior, not to mention a couple of new trims. That's for gas models, at least. Gasoline-electric Sorento hybrid and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models retain last year's looks for 2024, though those variants will adopt the new duds come 2025. We d
We Think Mazda Is Trolling Us with the CX-70
Mid-size crossover SUVs are a diverse bunch, with automakers offering both stubbier two-row and longer three-row options. And then there are a few that blend the gap, such as the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, and Toyota Highlander, which cast shadows closer to those of two-row mid-size models while still offering three rows of seats.
