The 2026 Kia Carnival is here to redefine what families expect from a minivan. With its SUV-inspired styling, premium interior comfort, and smart connectivity, the Carnival combines practicality with sophistication. For 2026, Kia continues to offer an impressive range of trims, each building on the last with added convenience, technology, and luxury touches. Let’s explore what sets each trim apart so you can find the perfect match for your lifestyle.
Starting at $44,740*, the LX trim is the gateway into the 2026 Carnival lineup, and it’s far from basic. With seating for up to eight passengers and individually removable second-row seats, it’s designed for versatility. The cabin features durable cloth seats and a power-adjustable driver’s seat with two-way lumbar support, ensuring long drives remain comfortable.
The LX also includes essential safety systems such as Rear Seat Reminder and advanced driver assists, giving you peace of mind on every trip. With its family-friendly layout and strong V6 performance, the Carnival LX delivers great value right from the start.
Starting at $48,240*, this trim is bringing more comfort and premium details. It builds on the LX with extra features that make a difference every day, like 2nd- and 3rd-row pull-up sunshades for added passenger comfort. You’ll also find a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob for a more upscale cabin feel. Heated front seats help take the chill off those winters, while smart features like power sliding doors and a power tailgate make daily errands easier.
Technology is elevated with a wireless phone charger and additional power outlets, including dual 110V outlets that make road trips and camping easier. LX+ buyers also benefit from smart safety upgrades, including auto up/down safety windows on all doors and rain-sensing wipers.
$51,140* being the starting price, the EX trim brings a healthy boost in both technology and comfort. Inside, you’ll enjoy artificial leather seats, automatic multi-zone climate control, and auto defogging to keep visibility clear in cold conditions. Deluxe inside door handles and Hydro Graphic trim accents add sophistication to the interior.
On the tech side, the EX introduces a 12.3-inch digital cluster, giving you a modern, fully digital driving display. The addition of a rear luggage USB port and passenger view camera makes family travel more convenient, while enhanced safety features like Rear Seat Reminder with sensors and Forward Collision Avoidance Assist.
Starting at $53,140
Moving into the EX+, Kia introduces more premium materials and comfort touches. This trim adds LED interior lighting for a brighter cabin ambiance and further refines the interior with auto and safety windows throughout. The EX+ also includes upgraded safety technology such as Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA2) for semi-autonomous support on long highway drives.
It’s a great choice for growing families who appreciate comfort and added peace of mind, offering an ideal balance of tech and practicality without venturing into luxury-level pricing.
Starting at $56,140*, the SX trim elevates the Carnival experience with a clear focus on style, technology, and luxury. This model introduces pure leather seats, ventilated front seats, and driver memory settings with four-way lumbar support for personalized comfort. The cabin receives subtle refinements such as a side box and hydrographic trim, giving it an upscale, lounge-like atmosphere.
From a tech perspective, you’ll enjoy a premium Bose audio system, a Passenger View Camera, and Communication Mode, allowing you to easily monitor and talk to those in the rear seats. Exterior lighting also improves with the addition of a Sliding Door Spot Lamp for better nighttime visibility. Safety takes another step forward with Parking Collision Avoidance Assist, Reverse, Side Parking Sensors, and enhanced Forward Collision Avoidance technology.
Starting at $58,140* is sitting at the top of the lineup, the SX+ trim brings true first-class comfort. Inside, you’ll find a 7-passenger configuration with VIP Lounge Seating in the second row, featuring captain’s chairs that recline, include leg rests, and even offer “Relaxion Mode.” Both second-row seats are heated and ventilated, ensuring comfort for everyone aboard.
The SX+ also boasts the most advanced features in the Carnival family: a Head-Up Display (HUD), Digital Key, Around View 360° Monitor, and Blind View Monitor for a panoramic sense of safety and awareness. From the premium Bose sound system to high-end materials throughout, this trim defines what modern luxury looks like in a minivan.
Despite its high-end feel, the SX+ maintains the Carnival’s practical roots, including generous cargo flexibility, standard 3.5-litre V6 performance, and an estimated combined fuel economy of 11.3 L/100 km across all trims.
Kia continues to build on its reputation for safety and innovation. While the 2026 Carnival is new, Kia’s engineering excellence has earned multiple honours, including IIHS Top Safety Pick awards (2021 and 2022) and an AutoTRADER Award for Best Subcompact SUV with the Kia Seltos, a clear sign of the brand’s dedication to safe, high-quality vehicles.
Whether you’re drawn to the value-packed LX or the luxury-filled SX+, every 2026 Kia Carnival trim delivers comfort, technology, and practicality designed for Canadian families.
