With its distinctive exterior accents and advanced tech, Carnival is a captivating blend of sophistication and versatility.
The naturally aspirated V6 engine of the 2027 Kia Carnival is highly favored by drivers who prefer a traditional, proven powertrain with linear power delivery and maximum trailering capability. These latest Carnival models run on standard 87-octane regular unleaded, and power is delivered exclusively to the front wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. With room for 8 passengers, Carnival’s available 2nd-row middle seat slides forward to give easy access to the front row passenger or backward to offer more space between passengers. 1st and 2nd-row passengers can enjoy a view of the open skyline with available dual power sunroofs that create an airy driving sensation, and you can set the mood on every outing with available color-selectable interior ambient lighting. Describing the Carnival cabin as innovative would be a massive understatement. With features such as Dual Panoramic Displays and Passenger View w/ Night Vision, the 2027 Kia Carnival ofers everything you might need to keep all passengers occupied and entertained.
