Hey everyone, what color do you think looks best on the 2025 SXP? I was considering the light grey interior and really liked the Panthera gray, but someone at the dealership is trying to talk me out of it, saying it looks purple. Not sure if it helps, but I’m also going for the dark edition body styling .

Ceramic silver

I’m a fan of Astra Blue. I don’t see many cars in that color, which makes it stand out.

It’s not blue enough for me, there’s too much gray in it. Kia could have done better with the colors on the Carnival though. Black, a couple of grays, white, a weird teal, maroon, and this odd purpley navy blue…

Honestly, Astra Blue is the only color I like. Feels like I’m the only one with it on the road, and I love it.

I saw another Astra Blue Carnival at my kids’ daycare -_-

I wanted Astra Blue, but it doesn’t come with a gray or navy interior, so I went with pearl white instead.

Tuscany Umber looks great though!

I’m not a fan of Tuscany Umber, it looks a bit too orange for me.

I’m going for Ceramic Silver on the outside with black leather interior.

Has anyone mentioned Ivory? We loved it when we saw it in person. Pictures just don’t do it justice.

Anyone here with navy interior? I’m thinking about pairing Thunder Gray exterior with navy interior.

We went with the Panthera Metal exterior and navy gray interior. The exterior looks close to black, and the interior isn’t too hard to clean. So far, so good after a month.

We also added the ceramic interior coat, and it worked well. Even when my toddler got her shoes dirty on the seat, it cleaned up easily.

I love my Astra Blue with the Tuscan Umber interior. It’s the best combo.

Panthera Gray is my number one choice, especially if you’re going with the lighter interior. You don’t have many exterior options with that. For my second choice, it was a tie between Ivory Silver and White. Ceramic Silver is nice too, but it’s one of those love it or hate it colors. My partner hated it, but I liked it. We finally decided on Ivory Silver after seeing it in all kinds of light.

Do you have any pictures of the Ivory Silver? I’ve heard it’s a new color this year, but I haven’t seen anyone with it yet.

Kia should bring the Sorento metallic gold color to the Carnival.

I’m all for Panthera Gray with the dark edition! You should check mine out, I posted it here recently.

Is it hard to keep clean? The salesperson told me it’s tough to maintain and can pull weird colors, which made me overthink it. I need to see it in person again!
