Who the Carnival suits
Assure lists the Carnival for 6 passengers, although Kia builds 7-seat and 8-seat versions. With every passenger seat in use, the rear takes 3 large suitcases and 2 cabin bags. That covers a family of 5 with 3 checked cases, or a work team with carry-on bags.
It does not suit 6 adults with a large suitcase each. For that load, book a bigger van or a second car.
Kia’s UAE spec sheet gives 1,029 mm of legroom in the second row and 903 mm in the third. The body is 5,155 mm long on a 3,060 mm wheelbase. Seat the tallest passengers in the second row on longer drives.
Inside the Carnival
These come from Kia Middle East’s Carnival pages. Some items belong to higher grades only, so ask which grade is free on your date.
- Power sliding doors on both sides, listed from the 12L grade up.
- Front and rear automatic air conditioning.
- A dual sunroof and a power tailgate on upper grades.
- Relaxion reclining seats in the 7-seat premium version only.
- A 3.5 L V6 petrol engine with an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
- No wheelchair ramp.
What the Carnival is booked for
- Airport pickups. At Dubai International, your chauffeur meets you in arrivals holding a board with your name, then brings the Carnival to the pickup lane.
- Hourly hire. Shopping days, school visits or a string of meetings, under our chauffeur service.
- Day tours. A private tour of Abu Dhabi or Hatta for one family.
- Events. Drop-off and pickup for 6 guests travelling together.
- Intercity. Transfers to Abu Dhabi, Sharjah or Ras Al Khaimah.
Carnival, Staria or V-Class
The Hyundai Staria takes the same 6 passengers but only 2 large suitcases. It trades boot space for relaxation seats with legrests on its Premium version. For 6 passengers with 4 large cases, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class is the better fit.

Questions and answers
Can I rent a Kia Carnival with a driver in Dubai?
Yes, and only with a driver. The Carnival is in the Assure fleet and every booking includes a chauffeur, whether it is a single airport transfer or a full day by the hour. Assure does not rent cars for self-drive, so nobody in your group needs a UAE licence or has to deal with parking.
How many suitcases fit in the Kia Carnival?
With 6 passengers aboard, plan on 3 large suitcases and 2 cabin bags. Kia builds 7-seat and 8-seat versions, but Assure lists the Carnival for 6 so the bags still fit. A group with a fourth large case should book the Mercedes-Benz V-Class, which takes 4, or add a second car.
Is the third row of the Carnival comfortable for adults?
Kia's UAE specification sheet gives 903 mm of legroom in the third row against 1,029 mm in the second, and 955 mm of headroom against 1,003 mm. Adults fit for city transfers. On a long drive to Abu Dhabi or Hatta, seat the tallest passengers in the second row.
Should I book the Carnival or a GMC Yukon?
On luggage they are level: Assure lists both for 6 passengers, 3 large suitcases and 2 cabin bags. The Carnival's sliding doors open without swinging into the kerb, which helps in tight hotel drop-off lanes and with getting to the third row. Choose the Yukon if the group wants an SUV at the door.
Does the Kia Carnival have a sunroof and reclining seats?
Kia Middle East lists a dual sunroof on its upper grades, and Relaxion reclining seats only on the 7-seat premium version. Equipment changes by grade, so not every Carnival has both. Ask on WhatsApp which version is free for your date before you book if either one matters.
