The 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid Shines as PARENTS Magazine’s Best Hybrid Minivan

At King Kia of Laurel, we’re excited to announce that the 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid has earned top honors from PARENTS magazine, being named “Best Hybrid Minivan” in their highly anticipated 2025 Best Family Cars Awards. With more than 180 cars, trucks, and SUVs evaluated by an expert panel of auto industry professionals (who are also parents), this award speaks volumes about how well the Carnival Hybrid meets the needs of today’s families.

The new Kia Carnival Hybrid is proving itself to be the perfect family vehicle for Laurel, MD parents who want it all—efficiency, space, style, and safety.

Why the 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid Stands Out

The 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid is built for families who refuse to compromise. It offers a premium driving experience, a spacious cabin with advanced technology, and the fuel efficiency of a hybrid powertrain. But it’s not just about efficiency—Kia has packed the Carnival Hybrid with thoughtful features that make everyday life a little bit easier.

Here’s why it caught the eye of the PARENTS magazine panel:

• Incredible Space & Comfort: The Carnival Hybrid is designed with busy families in mind. It boasts up to 145.1 cubic feet of cargo space, which means you can load up everything you need for a weekend getaway to the National Wildlife Visitor Center or a day trip to Six Flags America without feeling cramped.
  
• Flexible Seating for Maximum Convenience: With seating for up to eight passengers, the Slide-Flex seating system makes it easier than ever to access every row. The sliding second-row center seat lets you reach the back seats without a hassle—a true lifesaver for parents dealing with child seats or fidgety kids.
  
• Advanced Safety Features: Safety comes standard in the 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid. Features like Rear Occupant Alert and Safe Exit Assist provide peace of mind during even the most hectic days. Whether you’re making the school run or navigating traffic on Baltimore Ave, the Carnival Hybrid’s suite of safety features has your back.
  
• Eco-Friendly Performance: Combining space and comfort with hybrid efficiency, the Carnival Hybrid delivers a smarter way to travel. Less time spent filling up the tank means more time spent doing the things that matter most—whether that’s running errands around Laurel or hitting the road for a family adventure.
  

Keeping Families Connected with Kia’s Next-Generation Technology

On top of its award-winning design, the 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid includes Kia’s next-generation Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC)—recognized by PARENTS magazine as the “Best In-Car Multimedia/Entertainment System.” This cutting-edge infotainment system offers Quick Controls for convenient access to your favorite features and over-the-air updates to keep everything running smoothly without unnecessary trips to the dealership.

A Family Vehicle That Does It All

From the grocery run to road trips and everything in between, the 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid is made to handle whatever your family throws at it. When PARENTS magazine recognized it as the “Best Hybrid Minivan,” they confirmed what many Kia owners already know—this minivan is designed for real life.

At King Kia of Laurel, we’re thrilled to offer a vehicle that checks all the boxes for local families. Visit us at 14921 Baltimore Ave, Laurel, MD 20707 to experience the award-winning 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid for yourself. Whether you’re cruising around Laurel or taking the family on a well-deserved getaway, this minivan is ready to impress.
