The 2027 Kia Carnival MPV combines SUV inspired design with the passenger space and flexibility families need every day. Seating for seven or eight passengers depending on configuration, class leading passenger space, hands free power sliding rear doors, and a flexible three row cabin make the Carnival especially well suited for carpools, family trips, and busy daily routines. A 287 horsepower V6 provides smooth performance while the Carnival’s expansive cargo area gives families room to bring more along.
The Carnival MPV provides generous room across all three rows, including 40.5 inches of second row legroom and 35.6 inches in the third row. For 2027, EX and SX trims can now be equipped with second row Captain’s Chairs, improving access between the second and third rows. Available VIP Lounge Seats take second row comfort even further with relaxation functionality, heating, ventilation, and leg extensions.
With all three rows in use, the Carnival provides 40.2 cubic feet of cargo volume, giving families useful storage without requiring the third row to be folded. Maximum cargo volume expands to 145.1 cubic feet when more space is needed. A 60/40 split folding third row and hands free power sliding rear doors add flexibility for everything from school runs and grocery trips to luggage and family gear.
A 3.5 liter V6 produces 287 horsepower and 260 lb ft of torque and works with an 8 speed automatic transmission for confident everyday performance. Inside, a standard 12.3 inch navigation display includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while available features include a panoramic curved display, Wi Fi hotspot capability, up to nine USB C ports, and advanced driver assistance technology.
