The new Kia Carnival MPV is scheduled to launch later this year. But ahead of the global unveiling, the carmaker has released a glimpse of what the next generation Carnival will look like.

Kia Motors has hinted at the design of the brand�s fourth-generation Carnival flagship through a design sketch of the MPV. Released in Korean specification, the all-new Carnival � sold in many markets worldwide as the Kia Sedona � will appeal to progressive young families with its combination of innovation, flexibility, and style.

The new model builds on its predecessors� heritage in the mid-sized MPV segment, following more than two million Carnival sales worldwide since the first generation launched in 1998. With a stronger, more stylish presence, futuristic new details and an SUV-inspired design, Kia designers have even dubbed the new model a �Grand Utility Vehicle�.

At the front, the Carnival�s confident new face seamlessly integrates high-tech headlamps with Kia�s iconic �tiger-nose� grille. Kia�s designers call this �symphonic architecture�, with the design of the front bringing together a range of detailed, technical features that create a sense of harmony and structural energy.

From the side, a bold character line runs the length of the car, linking the front and rear lamps, with its glasshouse characterized by a new chrome fin which extends to surround the rear.

The new Kia Carnival is due on-sale in Korea in the third quarter of 2020, with global sales in many of Kia�s markets to follow thereafter. Kia will release new images and more details about the fourth-generation Carnival soon.
