The Carnival starts around $37,900, well under the Pacifica’s roughly $43,645. At ALM Kia Perry, a new Carnival also brings ALM VIP Club benefits and our Included Lifetime Warranty on qualifying new vehicles.
Both offer a way to save fuel, but differently. The Carnival’s hybrid returns about 33 mpg combined with no plug required. The Pacifica’s plug-in hybrid can travel about 32 miles on electricity alone and is rated up to 84 MPGe, which can mean gas-free commuting if you charge at home. Pick the Carnival for simplicity, the Pacifica if you want plug-in electric range.
The Pacifica offers available all-wheel drive on gas models and its signature Stow ‘n Go seats that fold flat into the floor. The Carnival is front-wheel drive only but counters with available VIP Lounge second-row seats on its top trim.
The Carnival’s 10-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty is double the Pacifica’s 5-year / 60,000-mile coverage.
Choose the Pacifica for plug-in electric range, available all-wheel drive, and Stow ‘n Go flexibility. Choose the Carnival for a lower price, a simple hybrid, VIP Lounge seating, and a longer warranty. Browse our Carnival inventory or contact ALM Kia Perry.
