In North America, the Sedona came equipped with a 3.5 L Hyundai V6 engine making 195 hp (145 kW) and a 4-speed automatic (later a 5-speed automatic transmission). From 2001, Kia Motors introduced the 2.5 L KV6 Euro 3 with 150 PS and the 2.9 L CRDi common rail diesel engine with 144 PS. In Europe, the first generation was available only with Rover's 2.5 L KV6 engine 24V petrol with 163 PS and Euro 2 standard emission level and the 2.9 L turbo-diesel engine with 126 PS. It was a sales leader again in 20 when sales peaked at 5,259 units. In 2001, it outsold the Toyota Tarago, becoming the top-selling minivan in the country. In Australia, the Kia Carnival went on sale in 1999, with a standard 5-speed manual and 2.5 L V6 producing 177 hp (132 kW). Initially introduced as the Carnival in 2001, from 2003 onwards, it was renamed as the Sedona. In the Philippines, both Carnival/Sedona names were used. The first generation model was manufactured and marketed differently for specific regions, including under a joint venture in the Chinese market with Dongfeng Yueda Kia, as well as the Naza Ria in Malaysia. The fourth generation was introduced in 2020, when Kia began using the Carnival nameplate worldwide. Kia introduced its third generation minivan in 2014, solely in a long-wheelbase format. Beginning in 2010, the second generation model received updated equipment, including Kia's corporate Tiger Nose grille, as introduced by its then new design chief, Peter Schreyer. A rebadged variant of the second generation was offered in North America as the Hyundai Entourage (2007–2009). Second generation models were marketed (2006–2014) in short and long wheelbase variants, both with rear sliding doors. The first generation Carnival was introduced in 1998 and was marketed in a single, short wheelbase with rear sliding doors. The Kia Carnival is a minivan manufactured by Kia Motors, introduced in September 1998, marketed globally under various nameplates - prominently as the Kia Sedona - and currently in its fourth generation.
