Jones Kia - Family-First Seating Tech for Busy Days around Perry Hall, MD
When your weekday calendar looks like a relay race, the right cabin layout can make all the difference. The Kia Carnival MPV’s seating and family tech are tailored for households that want premium comfort without trading away day-to-day flexibility. At Jones Kia, we see parents, grandparents, and rideshare helpers gravitating toward features that make transitions smoother, from school lines to spontaneous errands.
The Slide-Flex seating concept is the cornerstone of this approach. With room for eight, the 2nd-row middle seat can slide forward to keep your youngest passenger close to the front, slide rearward to increase spacing, or fold into a table for the second and third rows. It is the kind of solution you appreciate more with each week of activities. Pair it with available 2nd-row VIP Lounge Seats and you get one-touch relaxation with power footrests, seat ventilation, and a recline function that turns downtime into genuine rest. Meanwhile, available dual power sunroofs brighten the cabin, and available Dual Panoramic Displays with navigation bring a total combined 24 inches of screen space to the front row for easy control of media and mapping.
