Ranked by Hispanic Motor Press, the 2022 Kia Carnival MPV was crowned as the ‘Family Vehicle of the Year’ in the 2022 Top Ten Vehicles for Hispanic Car Buyers.

The 12th annual program identifies the best new vehicles for Hispanic car buyers based on styling, driving pleasure, technology, safety, environmental impact, mechanical reliability, and value.

Kia America’s chief operating officer and executive vice president, Steven Center, remarked, “Being recognized as the best vehicle for Hispanic families by the Hispanic Motor Press confirms the Kia Carnival MPV provides owners with the ultimate in versatility, comfort and capability. The Kia Carnival has been a tremendous success since arriving in showrooms, capturing a 9.3 percent market share in its segment in 2021. Kia is proud to receive this award from the Hispanic Motor Press and we will continue to deliver more of what the families of today demand in a vehicle, more technology, more safety, more style and more reliability.”

Jury panel for the 2022 Hispanic Motor Press Awards is composed of Hispanic automotive journalists, content creators and industry influencers selected by the organization’s advisory board. 

Notably, over 20 juror members evaluated more than 100 new vehicles throughout the 2021 and 2022 calendar years.

Hispanic Motor Press’ founder and president, Ricardo Rodriguez-Long, concluded, “The Kia Carnival MVP offers a tremendous value proposition for not only Hispanic households, but all households, without compromising on the style, convenience, comfort and technology features the families of today demand in a family vehicle. The spacious and comfortable interior, quiet ride and advanced driver assistance features including automated emergency braking combine to make the Carnival MPV the complete automotive package.”
