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

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

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

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

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.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

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

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>.

KBB Editors' Overview

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.

Optional Equipment

Pricing - Dynamic

Pricing - Static

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.

Engine and Transmission

Under the Hood

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

A compact SUV, the 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross provides standard all-wheel drive, an exceptional warranty, and athletic looks at an affordable price.

<ul>
<li>Disappointing resale value</li>
<li>Lackluster engine</li>
<li>Below-average fuel mileage</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, And Handling

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is powered by a 152-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine matched with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and all-wheel drive. Here again, the Eclipse Cross can’t help but trail the competition.
The modest Honda HR-V has more oomph with 158 hp, while a turbocharged Mazda CX-30 boasts up to 250 hp — nearly 100 more than the humble Eclipse Cross — and can be had for about $1,500 more than an Eclipse Ralliart. Even a base Mazda CX-30 easily outperforms the Eclipse Cross with 191 hp, comes standard with all-wheel drive, robust technology, and adaptive cruise control, yet is notably less expensive. That&#8217;s not even a horse race in our eyes.
That said, this Mitsubishi’s little engine does deliver satisfying thrust low in the rev range, making it suitable for shorter commutes. But longer treks and hilly terrain prove more challenging. We found the Eclipse Cross one of the slowest SUVs in its class, and its pokey highway performance underwhelmed us.
We also say that the Eclipse Cross performs adequately if most of your driving duties are on city streets. The ride is quiet and comfortable, and the standard all-wheel-drive system makes it a good choice for snowy climates.
Fuel Economy
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross gets a combined fuel economy rating of 26 mpg in the base ES trim and 25 mpg in every other trim. This is below average for a compact SUV. For comparison, when equipped with all-wheel drive, the Honda CR-V gets up to 28 mpg, and the (2025) Toyota RAV4 returns up to 30 mpg. Here again, you&#8217;d be better off in a Mazda CX-30, which attains 29 mpg. Several hybrid options in this class get 40 mpg or better.

Athletic Exterior

The exterior design of the Eclipse Cross could be one of its most appealing traits, literally. It boasts dramatic body lines, a stylish light signature, and a coupe-like roofline in the back. Ralliart models add extra pizzazz with trim-specific side graphics, spoiler, and front lip. Black Edition models bring the required darkened wheels and other elements, along with a front lip and spoiler.

Exceptional Warranty 
Mitsubishi vehicles are backed by an exceptional warranty, and the Eclipse Cross enjoys 5-year/60,000-mile basic coverage and a powertrain backed by a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty.
Super All-Wheel Control 
When comparing prices, keep in mind Mitsubishi’s robust all-wheel drive system is standard across the Eclipse Cross lineup.
Panoramic Sunroof 
Not every compact SUV offers a panoramic sunroof. For the Eclipse Cross it becomes available at the SE level.
Touring Package 
Climb to the tiptop of the Eclipse Cross range, and your view will include a head-up display, heated rear seats, adaptive cruise control, upgraded forward collision mitigation, and an upgraded sound system.
Power-heated outboard mirrors 
Standard on all trim levels are heated power mirrors. We like that heated mirrors make quick work of clearing the mirror surface of snow and fog.
Dual-zone automatic climate control 
Beginning with the Black Edition trim, the driver and front-seat passenger can dial in the temperature ideal for each. No more bickering over the climate controls. The two lower trims get single-zone automatic climate control.

Satisfactory Cabin

The Eclipse Cross&#8217;s 2-row, 5-passenger cabin ranges from pretty basic to, well, just fine. Finally, Mitsubishi has blessed the base ES with the same 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as the rest of the lineup. However, even this setup is merely adequate these days when a less expensive Hyundai Kona comes standard with a 12.3-inch unit and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.
There are some nice touches, though; we like that automatic climate control is standard. Higher trims offer plusher accommodations with leather seats and niceties like a heated steering wheel and a head-up display.
We found getting in and out of the back seats a bit awkward because of the sloping roofline that gives the Eclipse Cross its unique look. However, the space and comfort were fine once we settled into the back seats. It has an adequate 37.1 inches of rear legroom, but less than some subcompact SUVs like the Chevy Trailblazer, which has 39 inches.
The cargo room of the Eclipse Cross is also just OK. The Eclipse Cross has 23.4 cubic feet of room behind the back seats. Fold down the rear seats and get 50.1 cubic feet of space. We’d be remiss if we didn’t point out that the Hyundai Kona, Kia Seltos, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volkswagen/taos/">Volkswagen Taos</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/trailblazer/">Chevy Trailblazer</a> all have more cargo space, more rear legroom, and lower starting prices than the Eclipse Cross.

The wallflower of small SUVs, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross goes mainly unnoticed in the surge of higher-profile rivals. Furthermore, because of its not-too-big-not too-small approach, it’s easy to overlook whether shopping for a subcompact or a compact SUV. In either case, the Eclipse Cross has some good things going for it. For example, its standard all-wheel drive (AWD), competitive pricing, and industry-leading warranty (matched only by Hyundai and Kia) are all sound reasons for considering the Eclipse Cross.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-compact-suvs/">compact SUVs</a>, including the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.

The 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross will start at an estimated $30,000. This includes the factory-to-dealer delivery charge and standard all-wheel drive.

The LE and SE grades generate the most sales. The SEL is the third most popular with buyers. If you set your heart on a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mitsubishi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mitsubishi</a> and the Eclipse Cross is a bit small for your needs, we recommend the Outlander, which starts at about $3,000 more.
Following the Eclipse Cross middle-of-the-road size, its prices also sort of land between the subcompact and compact SUV segments. For instance, its pricing begins higher than smaller rivals like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/seltos/">Kia Seltos</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/kona/">Hyundai Kona</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/hr-v/">Honda HR-V</a>, and a bit less than popular compact SUVs like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/cr-v/">Honda CR-V</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/subaru/forester/">Subaru Forester</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sportage/">Kia Sportage</a>, and, we expect, the redesigned <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/rav4/">Toyota RAV4</a> when its prices are announced.
Here’s where things get serious. There isn’t a subcompact or compact mainstream SUV that fails as miserably, on average, to retain value over the years as the Eclipse Cross. Ouch. Remember: Higher resale value means recouping more money when it’s time to trade in or sell your car.

Engine & Transmission

A 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine powers every Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. With only 152 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, its performance isn’t as sporty as the “Eclipse” name implies. However, it’s adequate for city driving. A CVT transmission and all-wheel drive come standard.
5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty
Mitsubishi backs the Eclipse Cross with a 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. These terms tie with Kia and Hyundai’s for the best warranty in this class.
Safety Ratings
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has earned a 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>). In testing with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>), we should note that the Eclipse Cross had several ratings of Poor, including in the latest moderate overlap and side-impact tests.

Putting it on a more even footing with tech-rich rivals like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/tucson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hyundai Tucson</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/equinox/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chevy Equinox</a>, the Eclipse Cross benefits from its base ES catching up with the rest of the trim lineup, and finally featuring an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as standard.

luxury Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The small 2025 Acura ADX is the new gateway to Acura’s SUV stable, introducing a fresh generation of premium SUV buyers to Honda&#8217;s luxury division.

The revving heart of the ADX is a turbocharged 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine related to the one found in the sporty Integra sedan. This 190-horsepower unit is peppy and lively, with a fair amount of low-end torque as well. It doesn&#8217;t quite match up to the 241 hp of the entry-level BMW X1, however. The base ADX comes with sporty details and a sport-tuned suspension, while Acura’s Integrated Dynamics System with four driving modes is also included.
Fuel Economy
The 2025 Acura ADX achieves 28 mpg combined in its front-wheel-drive configuration, or 27 mpg combined when fitted with all-wheel drive. In this class context, that’s exactly where it should be, matching the BMW X1 and just one mpg behind the Mercedes-Benz GLA. Bringing up the tail of the group is the Audi Q3 with its 25 mpg combined rating.

It might seem that there’s not much leeway to differentiate a small SUV from its competition, but if the ADX was parked alongside its rivals, there would be no difficulty telling it apart. In fact, every vehicle in this class does a great job of conveying its company&#8217;s image. The ADX is clearly an Acura, just as the X1 is unmistakably a BMW.
The A-Spec’s exterior influence on the already sporty design of the ADX brings 19-inch Shark Gray alloy wheels, LED fog lights, and black accent trim.
&nbsp;

Standard wireless everything 
OK, not everything, but device charging and smartphone connectivity (Android Auto/Apple CarPlay) are wireless, meaning no cord clutter in the cabin and no friction when it comes to staying connected.
Bang &amp; Olufsen audio 
This 15-speaker premium sound system is the upgrade option from the standard 8-speaker setup. It comes with the ADX A-Spec with Advance package.
Alexa built-in 
Also part of the ADX A-Spec with Advance package, this voice control system leverages Amazon’s Alexa to help control various systems, including music and navigation.
AcuraWatch safety systems 
A comprehensive set of both passive and active safety features, the standard AcuraWatch array includes lane-departure warning, emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, lane-keeping assistance, road sign recognition, and much more.
A-Spec style 
Although the base ADX already looks quite sporty with its stance and proportions, adding the A-Spec package brings the visual impact of 19-inch alloy wheels, suede-like seat trim, ambient LED lighting, panoramic moonroof, flat-bottomed steering wheel, stainless sport pedals, red gauge needles, and contrast stitching.
Affordability 
Although the ADX starts nearly $10,000 higher than its Honda HR-V platform-mate, it’s significantly less expensive than the competition while offering similar size, style, and features. If you’re not hung up on having the most prestigious marque in your garage, the ADX is a strong value.

The ADX’s cabin makes a good first impression, with contemporary styling, plenty of tech, plus premium materials and finishes. Opt for the A-Spec and the look gets even sportier, while the A-Spec with Advance package adds another layer of luxury.
The ADX is roomier than most rivals. The front row enjoys 41.9 inches of legroom, the second row comes with 37.7 inches of legroom, and both rows offer more than 38 inches of headroom. Behind the rear seats, there’s 24.4 cubic feet of cargo space, and 55.1 cubic feet with those seats laid flat.
By comparison, the BMW X1 offers about the same cargo area and slightly less rear legroom, while the Audi Q3 and Mercedes-Benz GLA both fall short of the ADX in cargo space and second-row legroom.
