Kia muestra el renovado Carnival del 2025 en el auto show de Chicago

PRESS RELEASE - Fri, 09 Feb 2024 12:59:23

— Por Enrique Kogan —

SOURCE: NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE

MIAMI, FL — 9 de febrero de 2024 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — El Kia Carnival del 2025 se reafirmó como pionero en el segmento de las minivanes, aportando una clara ventaja en el espacio entre los SUV y los vehículos familiares. Llamando la atención con un gran diseño tipo SUV y al mismo tiempo ofreciendo un espacio excepcional para pasajeros y carga más parecido a una camioneta, el Carnival amplía su versatilidad con un tren motriz turbo-híbrido disponible. Repleto de la próxima generación de tecnología de automóviles conectados de Kia, el Carnival ingresa a la era digital con la conectividad y la conveniencia en su núcleo.

"El Carnival se ha destacado desde su presentación, combinando sin esfuerzo la estética de un SUV con la funcionalidad utilitaria de un vehículo familiar", dijo Steve Center, director de operaciones y vicepresidente ejecutivo. "Como marca que se niega a conformarse con el status quo, hemos realizado actualizaciones impactantes en el estilo, el rendimiento y la tecnología, permitiendo aún más al Carnival desafiar los estereotipos de que los vehículos familiares no son inspiradores".

El Carnival del 2025 estará disponible en cinco niveles de equipamiento (LX, LXS, EX, SX, SX Prestige), mientras que el Carnival HEV estará disponible en cuatro niveles de equipamiento (LXS, EX, SX, SX Prestige) cuando salga a la venta (previsto para el verano del 2024).

Mejorada presencia

Adoptando el distintivo lenguaje de diseño “Opuestos Unidos”, el Carnival encarna con confianza una apariencia moderna y audaz propia de un SUV. Caracterizada por una parrilla grandiosa y escultural, la fascia delantera cuenta con un diseño cincelado y asertivo, yuxtapuesto por detalles intrincados y de alta tecnología en faros en forma de cubo que se acentúan con las luces diurnas Star Map de color ámbar características de Kia.

En la parte trasera, el Carnival parece más refinado con superficies suaves y líneas limpias. La carcasa de la placa de matrícula se reubicó en la parte inferior del portón trasero para una apariencia pulida, mientras que los contornos nítidos de las luces traseras Star Map agregan profundidad a la parte trasera. Una placa protectora ancha y contorneada disponible que contrasta con el revestimiento negro en la fascia trasera inferior completa el rediseño exterior.

Las formas técnicas se extienden a las opciones de llantas de aleación disponibles del Carnival que van desde 17 a 19 pulgadas, que muestran una variedad de ángulos geométricos. Para aquellos que están más interesados en el diseño, la Carnival Dark Edition tiene elementos exteriores oscurecidos, incluidos los rieles del techo, las placas protectoras, el adorno del pilar C, el adorno de las puertas laterales, el adorno del portón trasero, las cubiertas de los espejos laterales exteriores, la parrilla delantera y las ruedas.

Un paraíso de comodidad y conveniencia

Abra las puertas del Carnival para encontrar un espacio futurista diseñado con formas simples y efectos tridimensionales logrados a través de la iluminación ambiental disponible que abarca todo el ancho del tablero. Los controles de información y clima alineados horizontalmente en la fascia central tienen un diseño minimalista, al igual que la espaciosa consola central con portavasos dobles de gran capacidad que pueden acomodar una bebida grande.

Al frente, una pantalla doble panorámica curva presenta instrumentación completamente digital con un grupo de 12,3 pulgadas disponible y una pantalla de info-entretenimiento de 12,3 pulgadas elegantemente integrada en un solo panel para un atractivo ultramoderno (panel ancho con TFT de 4,2 pulgadas y pantalla de 12 pulgadas es estándar). Una pantalla frontal opcional a todo color proyecta información del grupo y la navegación en el parabrisas directamente en la línea de visión del conductor. El espejo de pantalla completa disponible reemplaza el espejo retrovisor tradicional con una vista de cámara simplemente ajustando la pestaña inferior. Las luces integradas dentro de la hebilla del cinturón de seguridad se iluminan, lo que facilita su localización en la oscuridad. 

Siete puertos USB-C estándar convenientemente ubicados en toda la cabina pueden ayudar a que los dispositivos móviles de los pasajeros de las tres filas se mantengan cargados, mientras que dos tomas de corriente y dos inversores de 115 V sirven como fuentes de energía adicionales.

Di "¡Hola Kia!" y una función de reconocimiento de voz multizona distingue entre los parlantes de la primera fila y de la segunda fila, reconociendo activaciones clave como abrir las ventanas o ajustar el control del clima. Para los Carnival equipados con el paquete opcional de asientos VIP Lounge, los pasajeros de la segunda fila pueden activar el modo de relajación de su asiento, reclinando el respaldo y desplegando la extensión de piernas con un solo comando de voz.

Sin cambios está el espacio interior cavernoso y flexible del Carnival para 7 u 8 pasajeros, manteniendo su espacio de carga de 145.1 pies cúbicos, el mejor en su clase, detrás de la primera fila. Los asientos “Slide-Flex” para las versiones de 8 pasajeros continúan permitiendo múltiples configuraciones con un asiento central deslizante en la segunda fila que permite al pasajero delantero acceder fácilmente a un bebé o niño que viaja en él. Los asientos removibles de la segunda fila y los asientos plegables en el piso de la tercera fila continúan siendo un elemento básico del Carnival (los asientos de la segunda fila no son removibles en el SX-Prestige).

Un conectado Carnival

Avanzando hacia el futuro de la tecnología en el automóvil, el Carnival ahora ofrece el sistema operativo Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) de próxima generación de Kia. Este sistema avanzado procesa más rápido y con mayor fidelidad, con controles rápidos de uso frecuente a los que se puede acceder cómodamente con solo deslizar el dedo por la pantalla. Las actualizaciones inalámbricas ayudan al Carnival a mantenerse actualizado.

Los pasajeros traseros están invitados a disfrutar del nuevo sistema de entretenimiento trasero Connected Car Rear Cockpit (ccRC) de Kia. Desarrollado internamente, el sistema disponible con monitores duales de 14,6 pulgadas y resolución Full HD permite la transmisión desde plataformas populares, con el potencial de agregar contenido futuro por aire con el tiempo. Los pasajeros pueden conectar sus auriculares Bluetooth y duplicar desde dispositivos externos con un puerto HDMI.

La avanzada Digital Key 2 basada en banda ultra ancha disponible, permite a los clientes usar sus dispositivos inteligentes compatibles o una tarjeta inteligente habilitada para NFC como llaves virtuales del vehículo para bloquear, desbloquear y conducir. Esta innovadora tecnología permite al conductor desbloquear el Carnival sin tener que sostener su teléfono inteligente. Además, estas claves se pueden compartir con amigos y familiares a través de mensajes de texto en dispositivos compatibles.

Mejora del uso multipropósito con una nueva opción híbrida

La motivación en el Carnival todavía proviene de un motor V6 GDI de 3.5 litros disponible que produce 287 caballos de fuerza y 260 libras pie de torque, combinado con una transmisión automática de 8 velocidades que envía potencia a las ruedas delanteras. Reforzando su posición como vehículo multipropósito, el Carnival Hybrid está disponible recientemente para 2025 con un motor turbo hibrido de 1.6 litros combinado con un motor de 54kW y una transmisión automática de 6 velocidades, con una potencia combinada de 242 caballos de fuerza, 271 libras pie de torque.

Las mejoras exclusivas del rendimiento híbrido tienen como objetivo mejorar el rendimiento y la economía de combustible, al mismo tiempo que contribuyen a una conducción cómoda en general. Las ruedas aerodinámicas de 17” son exclusivas del Carnival HEV. En el modo Eco/Smart, el control de movimiento del vehículo electrificado (E-VMC) se activa con el movimiento de la palanca de cambios para ajustar la cantidad de frenado regenerativo con un control de desaceleración de tres niveles. Otras características específicas del Carnival HEV incluyen E-Handling, que está diseñado para ayudar a mejorar la capacidad de respuesta del vehículo al entrar y salir de una curva; E-Ride, que puede ayudar a suavizar la acción de pasar sobre baches con amortiguadores especialmente ajustados, y E-Evasive Handling Assist, que está diseñado para ayudar a controlar el movimiento del vehículo durante la dirección de emergencia.

Avances en ADAS:

El conjunto de sistemas avanzados de asistencia al conductor estándar y disponibles del Carnival se actualiza con las últimas versiones de Kia. Un elemento central de la avanzada tecnología de asistencia al conductor del Carnival es el asistente estándar para evitar colisiones frontales, diseñado para alertar al conductor si detecta un riesgo de colisión con un objeto o persona en el frente y puede ayudar automáticamente con el frenado para ayudar a prevenir colisiones bajo ciertas condiciones. El sistema ahora ofrece cruce de cruce disponible (FCA-JC); Cambio de idioma en dirección opuesta (FCA-LO); Lado de cambio de idioma (FCA-LS); y asistencia de dirección evasiva (FCA-ESA).

Introducido por primera vez en el EV6, el Carnival también está disponible con Highway Driving Assist  (HDA 2), un sistema de comodidad para el conductor que está diseñado para mantener una distancia predeterminada del vehículo detectado delante, mantener el vehículo dentro de los marcadores de carril detectados en ciertas carreteras, y ayudar en los cambios de carril bajo ciertas condiciones.

Otras funciones ADAS disponibles incluyen el control de crucero inteligente basado en navegación (N-SCC) y el asistente inteligente de límite de velocidad (ISLA).

🇺🇸🇨🇺🇵🇷🗽 What a way to begin Hispanic Heritage Month and commemorate 25 years since 9/11 in New York.

Thank you to everyone who has read, commented, and shared. This story has now reached around 2 million people across platforms and traveled around the world.

This trip became an emotional homecoming. People traveled to New York not only to remember, but to return pieces of my family’s history.

The most precious was a photograph of Dad and me during my first summer working in his office on the 19th floor of the South Tower. We believed it was lost forever on 9/11. Ms. Carole, one of Dad’s secretaries—whom he helped survive that day—had kept a duplicate. After her passing, her grandson Frankie found it, along with my World Trade Center pass marked 2/19 (South Tower, 19th Floor). I’ve now been asked to submit this history to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

I also learned more about Dad’s life: my Cuban father was an early supporter and organizer of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade; his baseball career led to ceremonial first pitches; and in 1972 he received the American Heritage Award during a “Spanish Night” in New York. In 2025, I received the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award—continuing the legacy of service Mom and Dad began.

Agent Lee shared another chapter: when his family’s Chinatown restaurant was targeted by anti-Asian violence, my parents helped bring the community back—and I, a little girl in a She-Ra shirt, worked beside them asking, “What would Jesus do?” His family called me their 貴人 (Guìrén): a benefactor who arrives at the right moment.

The white suit and black dress I wore in New York belonged to Mom. Wearing them felt like carrying her with me.

As an only child, it has been my greatest honor to have always been by my late parents' side throughout my life and to care for them in their final years. I’m humbled that this story has connected us across different generations and borders.

Thank you for reminding me: “You might be far, but you are never forgotten.”

John 13:34–35 | Jeremiah 29:11

🇺🇸 My Father Survived 9/11—But 9/11 Ultimately Took His Life.

🇺🇸 Twenty-five years ago, my father, José Quintero Ramos, was on the 19th floor of the South Tower when the North Tower was struck. Dad had survived the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and knew something was wrong. He insisted his secretaries and coworkers leave. Holding hands, they formed a human chain and began descending the stairs.

🇺🇸 Then the second plane struck their tower.

🇺🇸 The lights went dark. Smoke, ash, and debris filled the hot stairwell. Dad gave others the handkerchiefs he always carried so they could breathe, leaving only his arm to cover his own face.

🇺🇸 As firefighters and first responders climbed upward, Dad thanked them and squeezed their shoulders. One young firefighter rested his face in Dad’s hand—like a son receiving a father’s blessing. Dad never saw him again.

🇺🇸 Dad and his coworkers escaped and crossed the street only moments before the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. Those with him later said they would not have survived without his insistence. His courage saved lives.

🇺🇸 For more than ten hours, we did not know whether he was alive.

🇺🇸 Covered in ash, blood, and cuts, he walked for hours across the Brooklyn Bridge to the Cathedral Basilica of St. James, where I was baptized. A priest wiped his face, embraced him, and prayed.

🇺🇸 Our family was blessed with nearly 19 more years—but Dad was never the same. He ultimately died from respiratory failure caused by the toxic air he breathed that day. He is now officially recognized as a 9/11 victim.

🇺🇸 On this 25th anniversary, I remain honor-bound as his daughter to tell his story—especially as 9/11 moves from living memory into history.

🇺🇸 9/11 did not end on September 11, 2001. Its toll continues whenever another survivor or responder dies from a related illness.

🇺🇸 May we remember those lost that day, those lost in the years since, and everyone still suffering.

🇺🇸 Daddy, your courage lives on. We will never forget. 🤍🕊️

🗽 🇺🇸 Daddy, I’ve returned to our home state to represent you at both private and public official 25th anniversary September 11th remembrance events in New York. 
🗽 🇺🇸 Your little girl is traveling solo, but safeguarded at each event by a private security team that has been prearranged for me—just another example of God’s favor and how our (good) reputation has preceded us. 
🗽 🇺🇸 It’s a reaffirmation of your protection over me still and a nostalgic reflection of the times when we all traveled together during our careers. 
🗽 🇺🇸 It is my honor to continue being your daughter and to carry the legacy. 🤍🕊️

🤍 🇨🇺 🇺🇸 🕊️ Grief and Daddy’s Little Girl.

Daddy, six years ago today, you entered eternity. Your courage on 9/11 helped others survive but ultimately cost you your life. You are now officially recognized among its victims.

Mommy passed in January. Nine months later came my MS diagnosis. A year later, on September 6, I lost you—five days before 9/11. Oh, September. We used to be friends because of fall and all things pumpkin. Not anymore.

This photo takes me back outside St. Patrick’s Cathedral. You were about to speak beside Rev. Jesse Jackson at a rally for 7,000 workers displaced by sugar refinery closures. I was seven. You handed me the mic, and I joked that kids loved sugar, families needed jobs, and we had to “keep hope alive.” I only wanted to make you proud—and get the steak sandwich and ice cream you’d promised near the World Trade Center.

Grief doesn’t take a holiday. “The death of a beloved is an amputation.” —C.S. Lewis

My parents taught me to serve and bloom where God planted me. Joshua’s special-needs diagnosis turned my grief into advocacy and a nonprofit for families. Service is our legacy and biblical calling.

But the Church must do better after loss—not only at funerals, but through the months, years, birthdays, and anniversaries. Grief is lifelong, not a race. Heaven doesn’t erase how deeply we miss their presence. Shepherding means calling, listening, and showing up so no one feels invisible or alone.

To those touched by how I honor my parents, thank you. To anyone grieving a loved one, disability, or special-needs parenting: I see you. You’re not alone. Jeremiah 29:11.

To the sweet mama in the UK: throw the plates if you need to. Jesus wept. Jesus got angry. He understands. Call me.

I know Mommy and Daddy are proud, yet my heart and soul are heavy. As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, I’ll go to NYC alone to honor Daddy.

Te amamos para siempre. 🤍

P.S. If anyone hears the rapture trumpets while I’m gone, tell God I have a VIP Express ticket—and I don’t mind pushing a few people out of the way. 🥹😇😂
