2026 Kia Carnival in Daphne AL: Power, Space, and Family-Friendly Tech

We are excited to introduce the 2026 Kia Carnival. It is more than a family hauler. With rugged looks and refined features, this multi-purpose vehicle blends the comfort of a van with the capability and confidence of an SUV.
Whether you are hauling gear, driving cross-country, or navigating a full day of errands, the Carnival is built to keep up.

Power and Capability That Fits Your Life

Every 2026 Kia Carnival comes standard with a 3.5L V6 engine that delivers 287 horsepower and a 3,500-pound towing capacity. This makes it a great fit for active families who need power for trailers, small boats, or weekend gear. Purpose-built roof rails come standard too, making it easy to load up and head out.
With front-wheel drive and smooth transmission tuning, the Carnival delivers a confident ride in town or on the highway. Most trims also hit an estimated 26 mpg on the highway, so you can plan longer trips without extra fuel stops.

A Cabin That Works for You

The 2026 Kia Carnival interior is one of the most flexible cabins we offer. It seats up to eight, and select trims come with the Slide-Flex seating system that lets you move the second row side to side. This makes it easier to reach the third row or adjust for more space.
VIP Lounge Seating with full recline and leg rest is available on higher trims, along with adult-sized third-row seating. Every Carnival offers best-in-class cargo room with multiple storage setups for daily life or road trips.
Other premium options include:

• Heated and ventilated front and second-row seats.
• Dual sunroofs.
• Smart power sliding rear doors and an available power liftgate.

Technology That Keeps Everyone Connected

Inside the 2026 Carnival, tech upgrades are everywhere. The dash features dual 12.3-inch panoramic displays with built-in navigation, Kia Connect, and SiriusXM. Higher trims add an 11-inch Head-Up Display, Blind-Spot View Monitor, and 360-degree camera.
Backseat passengers will appreciate the dual rear entertainment screens. You can also check in on kids or pets with the in-cabin Passenger View camera, which includes night vision.
The Bose Premium Audio System and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep your crew connected and entertained every mile.

Safety Comes Standard

This model comes with 18 standard driver assistance features, part of the 2026 Kia Carnival specs that matter most. These include Auto Emergency Braking with Lane Change Oncoming Detection, Blind-Spot Detection, and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist.
Higher trims add advanced features like Highway Driving Assist 2, Junction Crossing Detection, and Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist. You can feel confident with your crew on board.

Trim Levels and Pricing
