The 2026 Kia Carnival is a sophisticated evolution in family transportation, combining versatile space with premium amenities and progressive technology. Phil Long Kia of Colorado Springs offers this exceptional multi-purpose vehicle in five distinct trim levels, ensuring there's an ideal configuration for every family's needs.
Every new Kia Carnival comes with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 287 horsepower. This naturally aspirated powerplant delivers spirited, refined acceleration. Families traveling from Castle Rock will appreciate the engine's responsive performance whether merging onto highways or ascending mountain passes.
The Carnival pairs this robust engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission for smooth gear changes and optimal fuel efficiency. With front-wheel drive as the standard drivetrain, the Carnival achieves an EPA-estimated 18 MPG city, 26 MPG highway, and 22 MPG combined. The 19-gallon fuel tank provides extended range for those longer journeys to Pueblo.
The 2026 Kia Carnival offers exceptional interior space and comfort across all trim levels. Even the third row provides 35.6 inches of legroom, so there's plenty of space for everyone to relax. Most trims accommodate eight passengers, while the base LX trim offers seven-passenger seating. With all the rear seats folded, the Carnival has over 145 cubic feet of space for Falcon drivers to store their luggage or camping gear.
Interior appointments vary by trim level, ranging from cloth seats in the LX to pure leather in the SX Prestige. Higher trims feature heated and ventilated front seats with power adjustments, ensuring optimal comfort regardless of weather conditions.
Exterior styling combines functionality with modern aesthetics. LED headlamps with auto-leveling and high-beam assist come standard, while body-colored power mirrors include heating elements for improved visibility. The Carnival rides on alloy wheels ranging from 17 inches on base models to 19 inches on higher trims.
The 2026 Kia Carnival has a comprehensive infotainment system that keeps your whole family engaged and entertained on the road. Every model includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration. An available rear-seat entertainment system keeps the kids amused on longer voyages to Fountain.
Safety is a cornerstone of the Carnival's appeal. Standard driver aids include smart cruise control, forward collision-avoidance assist, lane keeping assist, and blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning. Additional safety features include safe exit assist, a lane centering system, and parking sensors. An available aerial view camera system makes parking easier in Peyton.
The entry-level LX trim provides essential features including LED headlamps, 17-inch alloy wheels, cloth upholstery, and the full suite of standard safety technologies.
Building on the LX, the LXS adds heated synthetic leather seats and an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat. The leather-wrapped steering wheel adds a premium touch to the driving experience.
The EX trim introduces 19-inch wheels, a hands-free power liftgate, and a cabin intercom. Voice controls and a wireless phone charger add extra convenience.
The SX elevates luxury with heated and ventilated front seats, dual sunroofs, and a household-style power outlet. It also gains LED interior lighting and upgraded exterior and interior trim.
The range-topping SX Prestige includes premium features like pure leather seating, a heated steering wheel, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system. A head-up display projects crucial driving information onto the windshield so you don't have to look away from the road in Castle Rock.
