2025 KIA CARNIVAL HYBRID SX PRESTIGE: NIGHT REVIEW AND NIGHT DRIVE

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive night-time review of the 2025 Kia Carnival SX Prestige, focusing heavily on its lighting systems and camera capabilities. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's sophisticated approach lighting and unlock sequence, as well as the distinct styling of its parking and tail lights. While the headlights, featuring a quad-projector low beam and reflector LED fog lights, are deemed adequate and good for visibility, the reviewer expresses disappointment with the cargo area lighting, noting it's insufficient and poorly directed. Interior lighting is a mixed bag; while second and third-row illumination is acceptable, with backlit USB ports and some illuminated controls, the driver's area suffers from dark floorboards and unlit pockets and cup holders. The camera system, including the rearview and blind-spot cameras, receives high praise for its clarity day and night. The reviewer concludes that while the lighting is generally good, particularly the high beams, some areas could benefit from improvement, especially in the cargo and lower interior compartments.
