2027 Kia Carnival for Sale in Conway, AR

The 2027 Kia Carnival in Conway, AR trades the boxy, forgettable minivan look for something with real presence without sacrificing an ounce of practicality. A standard 287-hp V6 powers the lineup, and seating stretches to eight passengers, giving Central Arkansas families plenty of room to work with.

For a different take on efficiency, Kia also builds a 2027 Carnival Hybrid on this same platform.

Test drives are available now at Crain Kia of Conway.

What's New for 2027?

EX trim is the big winner for 2027: it adds the Dark Edition package, which used to be SX-exclusive, plus newly available second-row captain's chairs. SX gains the captain's chairs option too.

On the color front, Iceberg Green replaces Flare Red across EX, SX, and SX Prestige.

2027 Carnival Changes:

• Dark Edition package now available on EX, in addition to SX

• Iceberg Green added to the color lineup on EX, SX, and SX Prestige

• Flare Red discontinued

• Second-row captain's chairs are now available on EX and SX trims

Here's what's included on every 2027 Carnival before you even look at options:

• 287-hp 3.5-liter V6 paired with an 8-speed automatic

• Seating for seven or eight, depending on second-row configuration

• 12.3-inch touchscreen standard, with an optional dual-screen setup

• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

• Standard lane-keeping assist, automated emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring

• Towing capacity up to 3,500 pounds

• Massive cargo space, up to 145 cubic feet, with all rows folded

A closer look at how the Carnival stacks up for families answers the question most Central Arkansas shoppers are really asking.

Six driver-assistance features come baked into every 2027 Carnival: lane-departure warning, automated emergency braking with cyclist detection, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assist, automatic high-beams, and blind-spot monitoring. None of it requires stepping up a trim.

Kia's name for this bundle is Drive Wise. Push further up the lineup, and the list grows: adaptive cruise control, lane centering, rear automatic braking, and a 360-degree surround view monitor all become available.

Standard on Every Trim:

• Lane-departure warning

• Automated emergency braking with cyclist detection

• Rear cross-traffic alert

• Lane-keeping assist

• Automatic high-beams

• Blind-spot monitoring

Ask the Carnival to open a window or turn down the AC, and its built-in voice assistant will handle it, no touchscreen required. When you do want the screen, a 12.3-inch touchscreen is the standard, and it can be upgraded to a dual-screen layout with a matching digital gauge display.

Nobody's fumbling for a cable, either. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect wirelessly on every trim, right down to the base model.

Standard Cabin Tech:

• 12.3-inch touchscreen, with optional dual-screen setup

• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

• Built-in voice assistant

• Up to 7 USB ports throughout the cabin

• Wireless charging standard on EX and up

Eight passengers fit comfortably with the standard second-row bench, or drop to seven and add captain's chairs for a more upscale layout. Either way, the front row stays roomy, built around a console designed for everyday clutter, and the third row holds up for adults, not just kids stuck in the back.

Fold both rear rows down, and the Carnival opens up to 145 cubic feet of cargo space, with 40 cubic feet available behind the third row when everyone's still riding along.

Room for the Whole Family:

• Standard second-row bench (eight-passenger) or optional captain's chairs (seven-passenger)

• Third-row space that works well for adults, not just kids

• 40 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row

• 145 cubic feet of cargo space with both rear rows folded

Five trims make up the 2027 lineup, from budget-conscious to fully loaded.

LX covers the basics well:

• 7-passenger seating with power sliding rear doors

• 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation

• 18 driver and safety assistance features

LXS adds a bit more comfort:

• 8-passenger seating with 2nd-row slide-flex seating

• 8-way power driver's seat

• Heated front seats

EX brings everyday convenience:
