• Special APR Financing: Perfect for high-mileage drivers embarking on frequent road trips outside Central Florida who want to build equity and own their Carnival outright. Look for promotional rates like 0% to 3.9% APR during select Kia holiday sales events.

Is the Kia Carnival replacing the Kia Sedona?

Yes, the Kia Carnival is the direct successor to the Kia Sedona. Kia rebranded their family hauler to the Carnival globally, introducing a bold, SUV-inspired design, class-leading cargo space, and far more advanced technology than the outgoing Sedona.

Is the 2026 Kia Carnival available as a Hybrid?

Yes! The highly anticipated Kia Carnival Hybrid is available for the 2026 model year. It pairs a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor to produce 242 horsepower while delivering an impressive EPA-estimated 33 MPG combined, making it an incredibly efficient choice for Orlando families.

What are the Carnival’s VIP Lounge Seats?

Available exclusively on the top-tier SX Prestige trim, the VIP Lounge Seats replace the second-row bench with two premium captain’s chairs. These ultra-luxurious seats feature one-touch relaxation mode, full recline capabilities, raised power footrests, heating, and ventilation—turning the second row into a first-class experience.

Does the Kia Carnival have All-Wheel Drive (AWD)?

No, the 2026 Kia Carnival is exclusively Front-Wheel Drive (FWD). Both the standard 3.5L V6 gas engine and the new 1.6L turbocharged Hybrid powertrain send power strictly to the front wheels.

How many people can fit in a Kia Carnival?

The 2026 Kia Carnival offers flexible seating configurations for either 7 or 8 passengers. Trims with the second-row Slide-Flex bench seat accommodate up to eight people, while configurations with second-row captain’s chairs or VIP Lounge seats hold seven.
