Ready for a sneak peek at some of the fantastic new 2026 Kia models that are up and coming? Here at Kia of Daphne, we’ve got you covered. Our new Kia release guide will showcase the best features of the next-gen 2026 Kia models we’ve seen so far.
The 2026 Kia Sportage
With a bold new design and features designed for comfort, the 2026 Kia Sportage delivers an elevated driving experience. When it comes to connectivity, the 2026 Kia Sportage offers Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™, allowing you to stay connected regardless of your preferred ecosystem.
This compact SUV is also equipped with innovative technology, including keyless entry, push-button start, a rear-view camera, automatic wipers, high beams, and a hands-free power liftgate. It also offers safety features such as forward collision warnings, emergency brake assist, blind spot monitoring, and other alerts to help protect you and your passengers. Whether you’re running errands or going on an adventure, it’s features like these that make life safer and easier.
When it comes to comfort, you’ll appreciate the fact that the 2026 Kia Sportage features a multi-link rear suspension, trailer sway control, and gas-pressurized shocks. Combined with heated seats, you’ll enjoy a smooth and luxurious ride, regardless of the weather.
The 2026 Kia Carnival and Kia Carnival Hybrid
Looking for a larger SUV? There are two 2026 Kia models that you’ll be interested in: The Kia Carnival and the Carnival Hybrid. These SUVs offer a wealth of luxury features.
For starters, premium options include heated and ventilated front and second-row seats, as well as dual sunroofs. These SUVs can seat up to eight passengers in total. Certain trims also offer the Slide-Flex seating system, as well as power sliding rear doors, to make it easy to reach in and adjust the space however you like. On higher trims, you can even opt for VIP Lounge Seating, which features full reclining seats and adjustable leg rests. With all of that, the 2026 Kia Carnival also delivers best-in-class cargo space, offering multiple storage configurations.
The Kia Carnival’s technology sets it apart from other SUVs in this class. You’ll enjoy dual 12.3-inch panoramic dash displays with built-in navigation plus Kia Connect and SiriusXM. Investing in higher trims gives you access to an 11-inch Heads-Up display, a blind spot monitor, and a 360-degree camera. In the back seat, passengers can relax and enjoy the dual rear entertainment screens. You’ll also be able to check in on everyone using the Passenger View camera.
The 2026 Kia Carnival Hybrid offers these same features, but instead of a 3.5-liter V6 engine that gets 26 MPG highway, you’ll instead have a turbocharged 1.6-liter hybrid engine that delivers 34 MPG city and 31 MPG highway. That means slightly less towing power than the gasoline-powered Kia Carnival, but much fewer stops to fill up at the gas station.
