The 2025 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo is an all-electric luxury car with a metaphorical twist in its tail.

Cons

<ul>
<li>Expensive, especially most options</li>
<li>Maximum range could be better</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

The 2025 Taycan Cross Turismo offers a choice of drivetrains, each with dual electric motors and all-wheel drive (AWD). The 4 has 429 hp and, using launch control, will sprint from a standstill to 60 mph in a brisk 4.5 seconds. That all sounds great and more than adequate. However, we’re talking about Porsche here, so there’s always a chance for greater muscle and higher speeds.
Like the 4S, for example, that zaps the 60 mph mark in 3.6 seconds, thanks to 590 hp. Then come the Turbo models, which don’t actually have turbochargers, but we interpret this as Porsche’s way of saying “exceptionally powerful.”
The regular Turbo has a considerable 871 hp and hits 60 mph in only 2.6 seconds. Or the Turbo S shaves 0.2 of a second from that time with its immense 938 hp. All these power figures are the maximum available when using launch control.
As well as speed, the Taycan Cross Turismo is also adept at handling — containing and channeling all the forces created by such energy-rich motors. An adaptive air suspension is standard, with settings stretching from comfortable to sporty. The optional Porsche Active Ride suspension will smooth out bumps as if they didn’t exist and perform the same electro-hydraulic magic on body roll, acceleration squat, and braking dive. Rear-wheel steering is also available, and we think it’s well worth the investment because it helps make the Taycan Cross Turismo feel nimbler through the turns and more maneuverable in tight spaces.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
The best range of 277 miles is achieved by the entry-level Cross Turismo 4. The 4S manages 272 miles, the Turbo comes in 265 miles, and the Turbo S manages 261 miles. These are all with Performance Battery Plus. There aren’t any other all-electric luxury wagons for direct comparison, although the Tesla Model S (with a hatchback) has a maximum of 402 miles. But as we’ve said before and will no doubt say again, no one buys a Porsche Taycan just for its range.
According to Porsche, charging the battery from 10% capacity to 80% takes 18 minutes on a DC fast charger’s highest setting. That’s a few minutes faster than last year, even though the Taycan Cross Turismo was already no slouch. Using a home charger with a 240-volt supply, a full recharge takes about 9.5 hours, which is fine for overnight replenishment.

Revised Exterior

Exterior

This Taycan Cross Turismo variant brings a wagon-like practicality (and, dare we say, coolness) to the rear end. It also has SUV-like plastic cladding on the sides, and a maximum ground clearance of 6.9 inches at the standard air suspension’s highest setting. That’s still not a lot for the road less graveled, but at least there’s a choice between this and the other <a href="https://www.kbb.com/compare-cars/results?vehicleIds=456462|456477|456491|456463/">Taycan variants</a>.
At 16.3 feet, the Taycan Cross Turismo is only about half an inch longer than its sedan stablemate. We review the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/taycan-sport-turismo/">Taycan Sport Turismo</a> variant separately. We also cover the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/taycan/">Taycan sedan</a> elsewhere.
This year, Porsche has tweaked the overall styling of the Taycan lineup with new matrix-design LED headlights and taillights, sleeker front fenders, and new aerodynamic wheel designs. Charging ports are now on both sides, which is wonderfully convenient. The company also offers a broad choice of paint colors, including the option of matching to a customer-supplied sample.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Wireless phone integration 
Cable-free Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the 2025 Taycan lineup. This year, Apple CarPlay goes even deeper into the car’s systems. There’s also a cooled wireless charging pad. And a new In-Car Video feature allows streaming in the center and front passenger screens.
Porsche Intelligent Range Manager 
A new standard feature in the 2025 Taycan, this will calculate the most energy-efficient route, taking into account factors like real-time traffic and any charging requirements along the way.
Remote Park Assist 
By using a phone app, drivers can control their Taycan Cross Turismo with this optional feature, slotting it into (or out of) parallel or perpendicular parking spaces while standing outside.
InnoDrive 
Otherwise known as Porsche’s adaptive cruise control. It’s linked to the navigation system, taking topography and curves into account, as well as sensing traffic around the vehicle, and keeping the car in its lane. This is optional in the 2025 Taycan Cross Turismo.
Variable Light Control 
Available with the panoramic glass roof, it can darken or lighten the glass electronically.
Plug &amp; Charge 
Plug &amp; Charge means that as you connect to a charger, the system recognizes your Taycan Cross Turismo and uses the credit card information on file for a simple and streamlined process.

Spacious Interior

Interior

We’ve found the Taycan to be roomy enough for four adults. It offers a small rear center seat as an option. We’re also impressed by the quality of the cabin materials, the fit and finish, plus the combination of luxury and technology.
The Cross Turismo has a cargo space advantage over its regular sibling, with 15.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats (as opposed to 14.3), expanding to 42.8 cubic feet when those seats fold down. And all Taycan models have an additional 2.9 cubic feet of stowage under the hood.

KBB Editors' Overview

OK, so the Taycan can’t compete with many electric vehicles in terms of maximum range. But it does have a <a href="http://www.kbb.com/porsche/">Porsche</a> badge on its hood, and that means a lot. Like some of the most sublime driving experiences a driver is ever likely to, um, experience. Think of this car as going boldly into the new electric age while retaining Porsche’s traditional values. Then think of this Cross Turismo variant as a somewhat quirky alternative with the ability to raise its ride height a bit, as well as offer extra cargo space thanks to a wagon-ish addition to the rear end. It’s an electric family car, but aimed at the more well-to-do families.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-luxury-electric-cars/">luxury electric cars</a>, including the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo.

In the absence of any like-for-like competition, we suggest looking at rivals with hatchbacks instead of trunks, such as the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/tesla/model-s/">Tesla Model S</a> or the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/s6-sportback-e-tron/">Audi S6 e-tron Sportback</a>, both beginning far below the Taycan Cross Turismo. Or perhaps the high-luxury <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-eq-eqs/">Mercedes-Benz EQS</a> that also undercuts this Porsche, albeit by a smaller amount.
Before buying a new Taycan Cross Turismo luxury electric car, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Taycan resale values are comfortably above the class average. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Battery and Efficiency

Under the Hood

A lighter battery goes into the 2025 Taycan Cross Turismo, with better thermal management and the ability to charge at higher currents than before. When using an 800-volt charging station, the rate is 320 kilowatts, up 50 kW from last year. To optimize charging speeds on a 400-volt network, Porsche also adds a 150-kW DC/DC converter as standard. The Performance Battery Plus also increases in gross capacity from 93 kilowatt-hours to 105 kWh (97 kWh net)
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Porsche’s new-vehicle warranty lasts four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This includes 24-hour roadside assistance. The battery is covered for eight years or 100,000 miles. These arrangements are typical among European luxury vehicles.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
Neither sedan nor Turismo (wagon) versions of the Taycan have been crash-tested by any agencies in the United States, but an independent European test program (Euro NCAP) gave the car a maximum overall score of five stars.

What's new for

The Taycan launched for the 2020 model year, so <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2025-porsche-taycan-better-in-every-way-and-youll-pay-for-it/">now’s the time for a mid-generation revamp</a>. Along with revised styling (which we explore in the Exterior section below), the 2025 Taycan Cross Turismo receives updated batteries, resulting in slightly quicker charging and decent increases in range. For example, the entry-level Taycan 4 Cross Turismo was capable of 235 miles last year. This year, it’s rated at 277 miles. Muscle is also boosted in the top Turbo S model, from 750 to (gasp) 938 horsepower. The 4S version goes from 562 to 590 hp.
Standard equipment expands to include a heated steering wheel, ambient cabin lighting, Lane Change Assist, and various other items.

The Toyota Camry is a practical, safe, and efficient midsize sedan with a standard hybrid powertrain and available all-wheel drive.

<ul>
<li>Rivals have roomier rear seating</li>
</ul>

The 2026 Toyota Camry is powered by a 225-horsepower hybrid 4-cylinder engine matched with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. When you opt for all-wheel drive, the net output increases to 232 hp.
There are few cars in the whole automotive world that strike the just-right balance of performance and efficiency quite like the Toyota Camry. This hybrid powertrain has enough juice for on-ramp sprints and highway passing with the ability to return over 50 mpg. What more could you want from an engine in a daily commuter?
The Camry’s suspension brings a little poise and agility to an otherwise comfort-focused setup. We reckon Camry owners past and present will be pleasantly surprised by this extra nimbleness, especially if they choose all-wheel drive for optimum grip. The SE and XSE models have a sportier suspension tune, yet we’d say they’re still comfortable enough for most tastes.
In general, body roll is kept to a minimum, and we enjoyed taking the Camry a little quicker than usual through the turns. As always, the Camry feels easy to drive. The beltline is low, contributing to excellent outward vision, which adds to the confident feeling in the car.
In addition to highway driving assist features, which are expected in new models in this class, the Camry has what <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/">Toyota</a> calls Proactive Driving Assist (PDA). PDA brings some of that semi-autonomous tech to city driving by assisting with gentle braking and steering when the car’s camera and radar systems find it necessary. These small favors from the car take some of the stress out of busy city driving and, in our experience, just make the whole driving experience a little more relaxed.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The hybrid 2026 Toyota Camry returns up to 53 city/50 highway/51 combined mpg. Only the base LE trim achieves a combined fuel economy rating of 50 mpg or higher, no matter the number of drive wheels. The higher trims with and without all-wheel drive range between 44 and 47 combined mpg.
According to <a href="https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EPA</a> estimates, the difference in monthly fuel costs between the most efficient and least efficient versions of the Camry is about $12, so don’t be too dissuaded by the lower efficiency ratings of the higher trims.
Compared to other midsize hybrid sedans, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/accord-hybrid/">Honda Accord Hybrid</a> gets 44-48 combined mpg, and the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/sonata-hybrid/">Hyundai Sonata Hybrid</a> gets 47 combined mpg. The Camry is the most efficient hybrid sedan in its class and is the only one available with all-wheel drive.

Handsome Exterior

We think the recently redesigned Camry looks smooth, upscale, and contemporary, making it more of a competitor against highly stylish contenders like the Hyundai Sonata and Kia K5. The XSE also offers the option of a two-tone paint scheme that includes a roof finished in metallic black. Meanwhile, the new-for-2026 Nightshade Edition adds a dark and moody aesthetic to this sensible sedan.

Toyota Audio Multimedia 
Whether it’s the smaller screens in the lower trims or the 12.3-inch examples in the pricier variants, each one has attractive graphics and quick processing speeds. Wireless phone integration and wireless charging are standard throughout.
All-wheel drive 
Toyota offers an all-wheel-drive setup with an extra electric motor driving the rear axle, kicking in whenever conditions demand. It’s the only hybrid sedan in its class with this option.
Proactive Driving Assist 
The standard Proactive Driving Assist (PDA) system helps with gentle braking and steering in city driving, enhancing safety, comfort, and convenience in every commute.
Digital Key 
Owners can authorize other people to access and drive their Camry using a phone app. It’s part of the Premium Plus package.
JBL audio 
Here&#8217;s another reason to select the optional Premium Plus package offered with the two higher trims. JBL is a highly respected name in sound reproduction, and we think it’s a worthwhile upgrade if your budget allows it.
Head-up display 
Available as an option in the XSE and XLE, this feature shows vital information on the windshield within the driver’s line of sight. Once more common in luxury cars, we welcome technology like this trickling down to the mainstream.

Practical Interior

The Toyota Camry is a family sedan through and through, which means the interior is roomy and comfortable in front and back alike. We’ve found the front seats to have a nice width and enough support and cushioning to be comfy on long-distance drives. We also noticed hushed road noise in the XLE and XSE trims, thanks to the noise-reducing acoustic front glass.
An 8-inch central infotainment screen and a 7-inch digital gauge cluster are standard. A 12.3-inch central display is standard on XLE and XSE models and optional on the SE and Nightshade Edition. We like this system; it’s user-friendly and includes standard wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay across the board.
The rear seats have generous space with 38 inches of legroom and enough width for two adults to sit back there without getting too cozy; a middle seat is present if you need one. A rear center armrest with cupholders is standard in every midsize sedan, but we still appreciate this simple comfort feature in the Camry. Trunk space measures 15.1 cubic feet, which is about average for this class.
While the Toyota Camry has no shortage of space, it’s worth mentioning that the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/accord/">Honda Accord</a> (and its respective hybrid variant) has almost three more inches of rear legroom and a slightly bigger trunk. Neither sedan feels tight or cramped, but extra space is a notable advantage of the Camry’s oldest rival.

Few cars fulfill the duties they’re made for as well as the Toyota Camry, which is why it’s the reigning champ of our <a href="https://www.kbb.com/awards/best-buy-awards-2025-toyota-camry-midsize-car/">Best Buy Award</a> in its class. With an efficiency rating of up to 51 mpg, the best safety scores a car can receive, class-leading resale value, and available all-wheel drive (AWD), it’s hard to find any fault at all in the Camry as a sensible and practical midsize sedan. SUVs have been winning many hearts and minds (and dollars) in recent years, but American families who still prefer a humble sedan will find just about everything they need in the Camry.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-mid-size-cars/">midsize cars</a>, including the 2026 Toyota Camry.

2026 Toyota Camry Pricing

We expect the 2026 Toyota Camry to start at about $30,000 for the base LE trim. A well-equipped XSE model should begin at around $36,000. Expect to pay about $1,600 extra for all-wheel drive on any given trim. This is a low starting price for a hybrid midsize sedan, but most of its non-hybrid rivals have similar starting prices.

<h3>Class-leading resale value</h3>

Engine and Transmission

Every 2026 Camry has a hybrid drivetrain. The combustion engine is a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder unit augmented by an electric motor for a total of 225 hp with the default front-wheel-drive arrangement or 232 hp when all-wheel drive is in the picture, which adds another electric motor for the rear axle. Every Toyota Camry routes power to the wheels via an eCVT automatic transmission.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The Toyota Camry is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. This coverage is typical for this class. Hybrid components have an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty, and the hybrid battery is protected for 10 years/150,000 miles. Toyota also includes two years/25,000 miles of free scheduled maintenance, plus two years of roadside assistance with unlimited mileage.
<h3>Safety</h3>
This generation of the Toyota Camry has earned the coveted Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>), and it gets the top 5-Star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). These are the two top safety honors that a car can receive, bolstering the Camry’s credentials as a safe family car.

After a one-year hiatus, a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2026-toyota-camry-gains-darkened-nightshade-edition/">Nightshade Edition rejoins the Toyota Camry lineup</a> for 2026 following a full redesign for 2025. It’s essentially an appearance package for the SE trim that adds black exterior trim and 19-inch black wheels. Also, the hazy blue Dark Cosmos paint option joins the color palette.
<h3>On-Sale Date</h3>
The 2026 Toyota Camry will be in U.S. dealerships in the fall of 2025.

The Kia Carnival is a minivan that looks like an SUV and boasts the best warranty and cargo room in its class.

<ul>
<li>No AWD option</li>
<li>So-so fuel economy</li>
<li>Some rivals have a bigger third row</li>
</ul>

The 2026 Kia Carnival is powered by a 287-horsepower V6 engine matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Even when full of passengers, we’ve found the Carnival offers ample acceleration. Except for the notably slower hybrids in this class (Toyota Sienna and Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid), the Carnival’s merging and passing power is on par with the rest of the minivan segment.
We found the Carnival well suited for family hauling duties. We’ve tested it (full of children) running errands around town and on longer highway trips and came away impressed with no complaints.
The automatic transmission shifts gears sweetly, the steering is easy yet precise, and the brakes feel confident without being too sharp. Meanwhile, the suspension has a just-right balance of comfort and agility for a family hauler.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The Kia Carnival is rated at 21 combined mpg, one mpg worse than the Honda Odyssey and the front-wheel-drive, non-hybrid version of the Chrysler Pacifica. The hybrid Toyota Sienna is much more efficient at 36 mpg, and the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid can travel up to 32 miles on electricity alone and gets 30 mpg once the battery has been drained. Meanwhile, the hybrid version of the Carnival returns 33 combined mpg.

SUV-Like Exterior

Revamped styling from last year evokes Kia’s futuristic approach with its <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/ev9/">EV9</a> all-electric 3-row SUV. Both vehicles get the thumbs-up from us. The Carnival is distinct from other minivans because of its SUV-like look, yet it still has practical minivan aspects, such as sliding side doors. And the kind of ride height that makes strapping a child into their special seat much easier than hoisting them up into a higher SUV. It’s little day-to-day details like these that help to make the Carnival such a great family vehicle.

Highway Driving Assist 
Keep an attentive hand on the wheel, and the Kia Carnival can do much of the steering, braking, and accelerating in various traffic conditions. No minivan does it better.
Quiet Mode 
From the EX level and up, the audio system has a Quiet Mode, which pipes sound through just the front speakers. This feature is great when little ones (or even big ones) are napping in the back.
Driver &amp; Passenger Talk 
This clever intercom system facilitates communication with your rear-most passengers without raising your voice.
Dual Panoramic Displays 
The upper trims of the Kia Carnival come with a 12.3-inch infotainment system and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster with beautiful graphics, an intuitive interface, and connectivity features like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Slide-Flex seating 
The 8-seater EX and SX models have this feature. The center seat in the second row can slide forward, making it easier to reach a child sitting there. When not used to accommodate someone, this seat can turn into a table when needed.
VIP lounge seats 
The SX Prestige comes exclusively with a second-row VIP lounge setup, featuring heated/ventilated seats that slide, recline, and activate leg extensions — all at the push of a button or a voice command. Keep in mind these particular seats aren’t removable, though.

Big Interior

The Kia Carnival’s cabin is roomy and well-appointed. At either end of the lineup, the LX and SX Prestige models accommodate seven. The LSX, EX, and SX trims have seating for eight as standard. The Carnival features sliding/removable second-row and reclining third-row seats that fold into the floor.
The SX Prestige comes exclusively with second-row VIP lounge seats that slide and recline while also having leg extensions — all at the push of a button. These seats are comfy but not removable if you need extra cargo space.
We’ve tested the Carnival with child car seats and can confirm they’re easy to install. It’s also pretty easy for kids to climb into the third row, especially with second-row captain’s chairs. However, we found that the optional rear entertainment system screens — mounted on the backs of the front seats — can create a bit of an obstacle to third-row entry and exit.
The available dual panoramic displays, consisting of two 12.3-inch screens, create a high-tech look and feel from the front seats of the Carnival. As is often the case in Kia models, the infotainment system is straightforward and user-friendly, and we love that Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come standard.
Interior space is important to minivan shoppers, and the Kia Carnival has a lot of it. At 35.6 inches of third-row legroom, it’s about on par with the Chrysler Pacifica, while the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey have more room in the third row. However, the Carnival is the king of cargo space, with 40.2 cubic feet of room behind the third row and 145.1 cubic feet of max cargo room behind the first row. These cargo dimensions are good even by minivan standards, and it’s dramatically more cargo room than any <a href="https://www.kbb.com/comparison/midsize-3-row-suv-comparison/">midsize 3-row SUV</a>.

The Kia Carnival doesn’t carry the same trusted longevity as its more established rivals in the minivan world, but it’s a vehicle that makes plenty of sense for a lot of families. With a boxy shape, a flat nose with a big grille, and the tallest ground clearance in its class, the Kia Carnival is a minivan that kind of looks like an SUV, but retains minivan practicality with sliding doors and a spacious 3-row interior. So spacious that it boasts the most cargo room in its class. Add in the fact that it has the lowest starting price and the longest warranty coverage of any minivan, and the Kia Carnival makes a strong case for practical and value-conscious family transportation.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/van-minivan/best-minivans/">minivans</a>, including the 2026 Kia Carnival.

The Kia Carnival has the distinction of being America’s most affordable minivan. It’s the only one that still starts at under $40,000, making it appealing to families who need affordable transportation and want the benefits of a new car, like Kia’s class-leading warranty. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/sienna/">Toyota Sienna</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chrysler/voyager/">Chrysler Voyager</a> start at a little over $40,000, while the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/odyssey/">Honda Odyssey</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chrysler/pacifica/">Chrysler Pacifica</a> start in the mid-$40,000 range.
Before buying a Carnival, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Kia Carnival resale value is about average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

The 2026 Kia Carnival uses a 3.5-liter V6 that generates a muscular 287 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque — figures that nearly mimic those of the Chrysler Pacifica and Honda Odyssey. This V6 drives the front wheels (all-wheel drive is not offered) through an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Kia Carnival is rated to tow a maximum of 3,500 pounds.
The Carnival Hybrid, which was released in 2025, pairs a turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine with an electric motor to create 242 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque.
<h3>5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Kia’s warranties are the best in this class. Bumper-to-bumper coverage is five years or 60,000 miles, whichever happens first, including roadside assistance. Powertrains are covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
Although once named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>), updated tests have downgraded the Carnival in its most recent testing. It took top scores of Good in most crash-test categories, except for front overlap and side impact scenarios, which earned Marginal and Poor, respectively. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>) awarded it a 4-Star (out of five stars) overall safety score. Standard safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, plus blind-spot monitoring.

2026Kia Carnival Hybrid Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The Kia Carnival Hybrid is an efficient minivan that looks like an SUV and boasts the best warranty and cargo room in its class.

<ul>
<li>No AWD option</li>
<li>Low tow rating</li>
<li>Some rivals have a bigger third row</li>
</ul>

The 2026 Kia Carnival is powered by a 242-horsepower turbo hybrid 4-cylinder engine matched with a 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Compared to the non-hybrid Carnival, there’s a noticeable trade-off in performance for better fuel economy. The hybrid has less hustle, but that’s the price you pay for significantly lower fuel costs via the more efficient hybrid powertrain.
That said, the Carnival Hybrid delivers ample acceleration, even when full of passengers. It possesses no shortage of power for around-town errand running, but some highway passing maneuvers with all seats occupied made us miss the gutsier V6 in the regular Carnival.
As for ride quality, the Carnival Hybrid proved a smooth and comfortable driving companion in our testing. The steering is light but accurate and linear, while the suspension keeps everything on an even keel. Only the worst roads brought out some body jostling and tire noise. Occasionally, wind noise around the side mirrors also became slightly elevated at highway speed. Yet, by and large, the Carnival Hybrid exceeded our expectations for driving refinement and the confidence inspired when behind the wheel.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The Kia Carnival is rated at 33 combined mpg, significantly better than the non-hybrid Carnival’s 21 mpg rating. The hybrid Toyota Sienna is a little more efficient at 36 mpg, and the plug-in hybrid Chrysler Pacifica can travel up to 32 miles on electricity alone and gets 30 mpg once the battery has been drained. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/odyssey/">Honda Odyssey</a> and non-hybrid <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chrysler/pacifica/">Chrysler Pacifica</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chrysler/voyager/">Voyager</a> get 22 mpg.

The Carnival Hybrid is distinct from other minivans because of its SUV-like look, yet it still has practical minivan aspects like sliding side doors. And the kind of ride height that makes strapping a child into their special seat much easier than hoisting them up into a higher SUV. Little day-to-day details like these help make the Carnival Hybrid such a great family vehicle.

33 mpg 
With a combined fuel economy rating of 33 mpg, the Kia Carnival Hybrid is 57% more efficient than its non-hybrid counterpart. That translates into significant fuel cost savings over the van’s lifetime.
Highway Driving Assist 
Keep an attentive hand on the wheel, and the Kia Carnival can do much of the steering, braking, and accelerating in various traffic conditions. No minivan does it better.
Driver &amp; Passenger Talk 
This clever intercom system eases communicating with your rear-most passengers without losing your voice.
Dual Panoramic Displays 
The upper <a href="https://www.kbb.com/compare-cars/results?vehicleIds=475776|475855|475827|475805/">trims</a> of the Kia Carnival come with a 12.3-inch infotainment system and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster with beautiful graphics, an intuitive interface, and connectivity features like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Slide-Flex seating 
The 8-seater LXS, EX, and SX models have this feature. The center seat in the second row can slide forward, making it easier to reach a child sitting there from the front row. When not used to accommodate someone, this seat can also turn into a table when needed.
VIP lounge seats 
The SX Prestige comes exclusively with a second-row VIP lounge setup, featuring heated/ventilated seats that slide, recline, and activate leg extensions — all at the push of a button or a voice command. Keep in mind these particular seats aren’t removable, though.

The Kia Carnival Hybrid’s cabin is roomy and well-appointed. The LXS, EX, and SX trims have seating for eight as standard. The Carnival features sliding/removable second-row and reclining third-row seats that fold into the floor.

Interior space is important to minivan shoppers, and the Kia Carnival Hybrid has a lot of it; the same amount as the non-hybrid. At 35.6 inches of third-row legroom, it’s about on par with the Chrysler Pacifica, and the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey have more room in the third row. However, the Carnival is the king of cargo space, with 40.2 cubic feet of room behind the third row and 145.1 cubic feet of max cargo room behind the first row.

Minivans are all about frugal practicality, so what could be more frugal than a hybrid minivan? Enter the Kia Carnival Hybrid, with a combined fuel economy rating of 33 mpg, as a more fuel-efficient version of Kia’s MPV. It takes everything we love about the Carnival, like tons of cargo space, class-leading warranty coverage, attractive, SUV-like styling, and greater efficiency without compromising its family-friendly versatility. The Kia Carnival Hybrid makes a strong case for practical and value-conscious family transportation in the small but competitive class of minivans.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/van-minivan/best-minivans/">minivans</a>, including the 2026 Kia Carnival Hybrid.

The Carnival Hybrid’s pricing is exactly $2,000 higher than the same trim in the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/carnival/">non-hybrid Carnival</a>. The only other minivan with a conventional hybrid powertrain is the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/sienna/">Toyota Sienna</a>, which also starts in the low-$40,000 range and has better resale value. Meanwhile, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chrysler/pacifica-hybrid/">Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid</a> begins in the mid-$50,000 range.

The 2026 Kia Carnival uses a turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder paired with an electric motor. It has a net output of 242 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque. A 6-speed automatic transmission routes power to the front wheels. That’s a bit less power and more torque than the non-hybrid Carnival, and the performance is about on par with the hybrid Toyota Sienna. The Kia Carnival Hybrid is rated to tow a maximum of 2,500 pounds, 1,000 pounds less than the non-hybrid Carnival and the Sienna.
