The NHTSA has released the VIN decoder for the 2022 Carnival, confirming that it will be the new name from Sedona.

So when's Kia making an official announcement and getting this party started?

Thanks for providing confirmation. Not surprised that's available though, about now is when Kia would have to prepare for retail level things to roll out behind the scenes.

Great find @pulsatuss! This combined with the vin decoder is pretty good confirmation that the name change is happening.

I work in parts @ a KIA dealer in New Orleans. I'm happy to answer any questions I can.

Any idea when we'll get details on the U.S. model? My wife and I have been waiting since June to decide which minivan we buy to replace our aging 2009 Sienna, ever since we found the new Carnival would be potentially be released here.

I'll look in the sales portal. Doubt if we have info on 2022 models yet.
