As per the recent spy images, the Kia Carnival will feature a revised dashboard that is heavily inspired by Mercedes' design. For example, the dash sports a floating infotainment system that merges seamlessly with the digital instrument cluster, resembling the design of the E Class. Underneath the infotainment screen comes a sleek horizontal air vent. The centre console features knobs and buttons for controlling the climate and audio system. Next to the centre console sits the three-spoke steering wheel with paddle shift.

The next-gen Carnival will continue to be available in four seating layouts including 6-, 7-, 8- and 9-seater version. The model captured in the spy images seems to come with the 9 seater configuration.
