A Closer Look at What the 2027 Kia Carnival MPV Hybrid Offers

Hybrid Torque That Carries a Full Load
The hybrid system pairs an engine with an electric motor for a best-in-class 271 lb.-ft. of torque and smooth, swift acceleration. Every trim earns an EPA-estimated 34 city, 31 highway, and 32 combined MPG. Braking energy recharges the battery automatically, so there is nothing to plug in before a drive down to Sikeston or a long day on the highway.
- Best-in-class 271 lb.-ft. of torque

- Kia-est. 608-mile total driving range

An Eight-Seat Cabin That Rearranges Itself
Seating for 8 is standard, and the 2nd-row middle seat slides forward for front-row access or back for more elbow room. It also folds into a table for 2nd- and 3rd-row passengers. Fold-in-floor 3rd-row seats open up cargo room, and available removable 2nd-row seats help when weekends around Jackson mean hauling bikes and sports gear.
