Hello everyone,

I was waiting for available 2023 Carnival and ended up placing an order of a 2024 SX. And I just received the call from the dealership that they can now submit a new order.

Thanks for all the archived information in the forum, I will take a look at them over the summer!

Welcome! Very curious. What are the improvements, if any, with the 2024 model over the 2023? AWD still not an option, right?

I heard everything will be the same as the 2023 models, there is $100 increase on the MSRP, but it is negligible when I need to put 1.5k market adj. In Korea, 2024 models may have some updates but they always "beta test" new models in Korea and release to the US.

$100 is worth having an added year for mileage and longterm value for the vehicle. Congrats!

Will you pay MRSP price or need more than that?

I was told there is $1500 market adjustment and period. So, it is MSRP+doc fee $499+other taxes.
This was the lowest offer I received in midwest. Normally they insist 3.5k ~ 5k mark-up over MSRP at least.

Thank you for the info. How long to wait to get the 2024 one?

I just received a call that my ETA is 6/23/2023 as of now. It will be coming within less than two months!

That's fast. This morning, I contacted one, they told me the waiting time is 8- 10 month from now. Could you tell me which dealership? thanks

I don't think it is a dealership-specific ETA.
They initially told me it would take 3 or 4 months or more, but they persuaded me that it might be delivered within 3 months by placing the order very early to be assigned in the first batch.

This may be the fastest ETA so far because the dealership took my order first (5/3/2023) and waited for the Kia online system starting to take 2024 orders (5/5/2023 in the morning).

The actual MSRP increase is only $100. Please check with OK dealers. They are charging MSRP + doc fee. No msrp adjustment and extra stuff u need to buy.

One example is Fruegson Kia in Broken Arrow, OK. Sean Clemons is the sales guy. For orders.

Same thing with OK city as well.

Thanks for sharing the information! I searched all around Chicago area within 100 miles, and average mark-up is 3500-5k.. literally crazy....
I heard there are some dealerships in TX and VA only charging MSRP + doc fee, but I decided to spend 1500k markup + MSRP + doc fee for a new model to pick it up in my town. But I would contact Sean if I lived within a few hundreds miles range!

It is very dealer specific. I ordered mine almost a year ago for a 23. Just got told it was switched to a 24 and it would be here first of July. It all depends on allocation.

I only did it because local dealers were charging 4-10k above sticker and I wasn’t in a hurry.
I see, now other chicago dealers told me it would take 6-8mo or more. My order was submitted via Lupient Kia in Milwaukee.

No real difference. On the EX they removed a few things like the power lift gate delete and auto up/down on all windows.

And the MSRP and freight went up a tiny bit depending on trim.
Facelift updates/hybrid/AWD will be available in the late 2023 in Korea, so NA models may be released in summer 2024. There is a year gap between Korea and NA versions.

Are you near PA? There's a black s x prestige 2024 available, only 1900 over msrp.
Just found out my car that was supposed to be here first week of July will now be here next week!!!
