New 2026 Kia Carnival HEV in Scarborough, ON
Family-Ready Mobility
The 2026 Kia Carnival HEV is a hybrid minivan that disproves the idea that you can’t have everything. If you think you have to choose between a stylish vehicle you want to own and a practical vehicle for up to eight people, think again. The Kia Carnival is a minivan with the style of a modern SUV, but it also boasts the outrageous practicality and versatility only a minivan can offer. When you add its hybrid powertrain's excellent fuel efficiency, all thoughts of having to compromise go out the window.
Trim Levels
The 2026 Kia Carnival HEV lineup has four trim levels for shoppers to choose from. The LX+ is the base model, but it still offers a sophisticated design with bold exterior styling cues such as standard LED lighting and 17-inch alloy wheels. The EX builds on this foundation, adding refined touches like chrome details and stylish 18-inch alloy wheels that increase its presence on the road. The SX boasts sporty 19-inch black alloy wheels and Dark Edition features. At the top of the range, the SX+ offers a premium experience with even more generous standard equipment. However, it looks as good as the SX with the same Gunmetal Finish Bumper Trims, Mouldings, Roof Rails, Door Garnish, and Skid Plates that make up the Dark Edition Exterior.
Performance
The 2026 Kia Carnival HEV is powered by an advanced hybrid system with a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor. The combination of a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a 44-kW electric motor delivers a healthy 242 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque. This power is directed to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth and responsive acceleration. Beyond its performance credentials, the Kia Carnival HEV shines in fuel efficiency, with ratings of 6.9 L/100 km in the city, 7.6 L/100 km on the highway, and 7.2 L/100 km combined. Its 1,361-kg (3,000-pound) towing capacity is ideal for smaller trailers or recreational gear, and its refined suspension ensures a composed and comfortable ride on every journey. The Kia Carnival HEV’s performance delivers on every level. It’s powerful enough to make light work of a full load of eight people, but efficient enough to stop you visiting the gas station too often.
Features and Technology
The 2026 Kia Carnival HEV is awash with advanced technology and premium comfort, creating an exceptional experience for up to eight people. Every model has an impressive list of standard equipment. The LX+ trim may be the base model. However, it still gives you tri-zone automatic climate control, an integrated navigation system with a 12.3-inch multimedia interface, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also includes heated front seats and a smart power tailgate. The LX+ is an eight-seat model with versatile seating configurations such as easy-to-remove second-row seats and fold-in-floor third-row seats. The EX adds power-sliding rear doors, synthetic leather upholstery, and additional USB charging ports to keep passengers connected. The SX+ trim takes luxury to the next level with Pure Leather heated and ventilated front seats. There’s also VIP lounge seating in the second row, featuring power-reclining captain’s chairs, leg rests, and heating and ventilation. It also introduces advanced technology, such as a head-up display, a Bose premium audio system, and a 360-degree camera monitoring system for enhanced safety.
