ANCAP Safety Report (PDF)

The Kia Carnival was introduced in Australia and New Zealand in January 2021. This ANCAP safety rating applies to all variants.

In order to confirm integrity of the battery and safety of high voltage electrical systems in hybrid variants, additional frontal offset (MPDB) and oblique pole tests were conducted on the Carnival Hybrid. With these additional tests, this ANCAP safety rating is extended to all petrol, diesel, and hybrid variants of the Kia Carnival.

Dual frontal, side head-protecting airbags (first, second & third rows), and side chest-protecting airbags (first row), and a driver knee airbag are standard. A centre airbag which provides added protection to front seat occupants in side impact crashes is not available on vehicles built prior to February 2024, however is fitted as standard from this date.

Autonomous emergency braking (Car-to-Car, Vulnerable Road User and Junction Assist) as well as a lane support system with lane keep assist (LKA), lane departure warning (LDW) and emergency lane keeping (ELK), and an advanced speed assistance system (SAS) are standard on all variants.
