Forget everything you thought you knew about minivans. The 2026 edition of this family-friendly model challenges expectations by blending bold SUV-inspired design with premium features and serious practicality. It’s not just for school drop-offs or grocery runs—this multi-purpose vehicle feels ready for anything.
The refreshed exterior brings more definition to the Carnival’s character. With a boxier, more muscular stance, enhanced grille detailing, and futuristic LED lighting, it commands more presence on the road. The new look also helps it blend into the crossover world, appealing to families who want space without sacrificing style.
Step inside, and you'll find a cabin that feels more like a mobile lounge than a typical minivan. Available dual power sliding doors, a power tailgate, and next-generation seating layouts make it easier to move people or cargo with less effort. The 2026 model continues to offer second-row VIP lounge seats in top trims, providing reclining comfort, leg support, and a spacious interior of 4,110 litres—ideal for longer road trips or busy days with the kids.
Even the base trims benefit from the smart use of space, featuring flat-folding rear seats, ample headroom, and hidden storage options. Whether you're hauling hockey gear or heading out of town for the weekend, the interior adjusts easily to match your plans.
The dashboard has been updated to support dual panoramic displays—one for the driver’s digital cluster and the other for infotainment, both measuring up to 12.3 inches. The system includes navigation, a redesigned user interface, and faster response times.
Standard across most trims are wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus multi-device Bluetooth pairing. Rear-seat passengers can enjoy available entertainment screens, USB-C charging ports and even voice recognition for select controls. The cabin intercom and quiet mode features are back, allowing everyone to travel in harmony.
Powering the 2026 version is a 3.5-litre V6 engine that delivers 288 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque—more than enough to move a fully loaded cabin with ease. The eight-speed automatic transmission remains smooth and responsive, ensuring a comfortable drive in city traffic or on long highway stretches.
Fuel economy remains competitive in its class, especially considering the vehicle's size. For those who want even more efficiency, there are ongoing rumours of hybrid versions coming shortly, aligning with Kia's growing focus on electrification.
This model continues to impress with its safety features. Standard driver-assist technologies include Forward Collision Avoidance, Blind-Spot View Monitor, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Lane Keeping Assist. Higher trims add Highway Driving Assist and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, helping reduce stress on long road trips.
These safety upgrades build on the model’s past recognition, including top safety scores from IIHS and praise for its family-focused safety layout. From tight urban streets to snowy highways, the Carnival is built to deliver peace of mind.
