White Kia Carnival from a front three-quarter

White on Tan

KiaCarnival

Eight seats, sliding doors and a tan cabin — a van that stopped apologising for being one.

Kia drew this one to look like an SUV and then kept the sliding doors, which is the only part that matters.

The Carnival is the van for people who did not want a van: squared-off SUV proportions, a tan leather cabin, and behind it all the things only a van does — doors that slide, a flat floor, and eight seats nobody has to climb over.

White Kia Carnival from the rear three-quarter
01Long, flat and upright, with the rear door track hidden in the body side. Kia spent the whole budget hiding what this is.

The shape is the concession and the doors are the point. Sliding rear doors open fully in a tight space, which is where a group with luggage actually loses time, and the flat floor means anybody can move front to back without stepping outside.

Inside it is trimmed in tan rather than the usual grey, which is the one detail that makes people forget what they are sitting in.

Drawn to look like an SUV.
Built with the doors of a van.
