What Owners are Saying About the 2027 Kia Carnival

"I LOVE this car"

"This car was not my first choice, in fact it wasn't a choice of mine at all, it was my husband's. We went to see it last just so he can shut up and boy do I love him for bugging me. I love everything about this car. I have the beautiful blue with the black rims GORGEOUS. People are always asking about it. Its spacious, comfortable, nice display screen and the TRUNK SPACE is a bonus."

"Wonderful family hauler"

"Having a family of 8 I went with the gasoline EX version, knowing I would have a pretty heavy payload every day with all seats occupied. There is plenty of room for everyone, lots of usb charge ports, and after coming from a vehicle with zero safety assist features, they are actually really nice. I haven't noticed any weird glitches after the first 5,000 miles so far. Interior and exterior are extremely sharp, I get tons of attention at kids school or out shopping or stuff like that. Gas MPG isn't so great but if I'm really careful I can hold about 27-30mpg on the highway. All the seats are comfortable and spacious including for rear and front facing car seats."

"I love it"

"Very stylish design and a smooth transmission. I enjoy everything about it. My next suv will be the Carnival again"
