ANCAP Safety Rating
Rating Expires
Dec 2027
The Kia Carnival was introduced in Australia and New Zealand in January 2021. This ANCAP safety rating applies to all petrol and diesel variants. Hybrid variants have not been assessed and are unrated.
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, and 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.
