The Kia Carnival 2022 shall have an eight-seater setup which is standard, with a second-row bench that has a configurable middle seat that can slide closer to the front seats or fold to become a table. Second-row captain's chairs are optional, and the top SX-Prestige trim level has a special setup with power-adjustable recliner-style captain's chairs with an ottoman and special headrest. Unlike the standard setup, though, these so-called VIP Lounge seats are not removable.
