INTERIOR

The interior of your minivan is a sanctuary. A place of comfort and connectivity where everyone can relax during every journey, whether your destination is right around the corner or even Ohio or Indiana. Let’s step inside!

All Eyes and Ears

Your loved ones are nestled in and tuned in to their favorite shows and movies with the rear-seat entertainment system available with both models. You’ll be able to keep an eye on everyone, too. The Pacifica offers FamCAM™, which gives you a view of the back seats right from the front touchscreen. The Carnival offers a similar feature.

Who’s in the mood for a sing-along? The Harman Kardon® Premium Sound System—available with the Pacifica—comes with 19 speakers, while the Bose® Premium Audio System of the Carnival only comes with 12 speakers.

What Mess?

Where do you see crumbs, popcorn, and dirt? Cleaning up after the little ones will be a breeze with the Chrysler Pacifica. It’s available with an integrated Stow 'n Vac® powered by RIDGID®. The Carnival doesn’t offer a similar feature.

SAFETY

Safety is a top priority for you, especially when all your loved ones are in tow. That’s why both the Chrysler Pacifica and the Kia Carnival come with a bevy of unique driver-assistance systems that work to give you greater peace of mind. Are you ready to stay one step ahead?

Confidence Comes Standard

You can cruise with confidence in either model. Both the Pacifica and the Carnival share standard safety systems, such as:

Blind Spot Monitoring System
Rear Cross Path Detection
Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning
Lane Departure Warning
Lane Keep Assist

Adaptive Cruise Control will keep you completely at ease during the long drives of your road trip. It will maintain a variable speed and keep a safe following distance between your vehicle and the vehicles ahead. This system comes standard with the Pacifica, while a similar feature is only available with the higher trim levels of the Carnival.

Park Like a Pro

When you commute to Detroit, show off your parking prowess to all your co-workers. Both models offer parking sensors and a surround-view camera to increase your awareness. If you want a minivan that can park itself, however, you’ll need the Chrysler Pacifica. Its available Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist can steer the vehicle into any suitable space.

PERFORMANCE

The kids have their movies and TV to keep the fun going. What do you have? In the Chrysler Pacifica or the Kia Carnival, you’ll have an exhilarating performance that’s sure to get your heart racing. Let’s put the pedal to the metal!

A Minivan With Muscle

Both the Pacifica and the Carnival bring plenty of power to the table thanks to their standard V6 engines. They produce an identical 262 lb-ft of torque and around 290 horsepower.

If your family is gearing up for a camping trip, hitch up your travel trailer. The Kia Carnival boasts a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, while the Chrysler Pacifica can carry a bit more with its 3,600-pound towing capacity.

Slick Streets, Meet Your Match

When a storm rolls in and the roads get slick, there’s only one minivan that meets them with the added capability of available all-wheel drive, and that’s the Chrysler Pacifica. It intuitively adjusts the power output to each wheel to provide the optimal level of traction in a variety of situations.
