Features

Protect your family on every journey

The all new Carnival boasts a comprehensive suite of Kia’s most advanced safety technology.

Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (FCA)

Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (FCA) is the latest development of this technology. In addition to vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist detection, the system now also detects other road users on more acute angles, such as at an intersection/junction or while changing lanes, helping the driver safely navigate through, and applying the brakes if it detects an imminent collision.

Highway Driving Assist 2

Highway Drive Assist helps maintain a set distance and speed from the vehicle ahead when driving on a highway or a motorway. It helps center the vehicle in the lane while driving, even through a curve. If the vehicle on the side is driving too close, it assists to adjust the vehicle's path to remove the danger. If driving above a certain speed, holding the steering wheel and operating the indictor, automatically changes the direction you're wanting to go.

Smart Cruise Control (SCC) based on driving style

Smart Cruise Control helps maintain distance from the vehicle ahead and drive at a speed set by the driver by reflecting the learned driving style of the driver. When SCC is inactive (Off/Standby), the feature learns the driver’s driving style. 

Parking Distance Warning

Forward/Side/Reverse Parking Distance Warning (PDW) warns against collisions with objects around the vehicle at low speeds.

Centre-side airbag

The center-side airbag prevents secondary collision between front-seat passengers in the event of a collision.
