2027 Kia Carnival Hybrid for Sale in Sherwood, AR

Fewer fill-ups and the same family-hauling capability, that's the trade Sherwood shoppers make with the 2027 Kia Carnival Hybrid in Sherwood, AR, which runs a 242-hp powertrain rated for up to 34 mpg city and 608 miles of driving range.

A traditional gas Carnival sits alongside the Hybrid in Kia's lineup, and it's the only place to find the base LX trim.

Crain Kia of Sherwood carries the 2027 Carnival Hybrid for Central Arkansas shoppers ready to drive one.

What's New for 2027?

Second-row captain's chairs are now available on EX and SX trims for 2027, a configuration that used to require stepping up further. EX also gains access to Dark Edition, previously an SX-only option, bringing blacked-out styling to a wider slice of the lineup.

Color-wise, Iceberg Green takes the spot left open by the discontinued Flare Red, the only other change of note for a Hybrid that's still relatively new to the market.

2027 Hybrid Updates:

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

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

• Iceberg Green added to the color lineup

• Flare Red discontinued

The 2027 Carnival Hybrid's spec sheet covers both efficiency and space:

• 242-hp hybrid powertrain combining a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with an electric motor

• 6-speed automatic transmission

• Up to 34 mpg city and 608 miles of driving range

• Standard second-row bench, with captain's chairs available on EX, SX, and SX Prestige

• 12.3-inch touchscreen standard, with an available dual curved-display setup

• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

• Available Rear Seat Entertainment system with dual monitors

Central Arkansas has taken notice. The Carnival Hybrid was recognized as an award-winning minivan for exactly this kind of balance.

Kia Drive Wise covers the Carnival Hybrid's standard safety features: automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist, all of which are included regardless of trim.

Adaptive cruise control with lane-centering, highway driving assist, and a 360-degree camera become available on trims further up the range, useful additions for families logging regular highway miles around Central Arkansas.

Standard Safety Equipment:

• Automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection

• Lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist

• Blind-spot monitoring

• Automatic high-beams

• Available adaptive cruise control with lane-centering

A 12.3-inch touchscreen handles infotainment on every Carnival Hybrid trim, and stepping up brings Kia's dual curved-display setup with a fully digital gauge cluster. Up to nine USB ports keep every row's devices charged, a small but useful detail on longer family trips.

Kia Connect rounds things out with remote access and vehicle status features from a connected phone, letting owners check things like fuel level or lock status without walking out to the driveway.

Cabin Technology:

• 12.3-inch touchscreen, with available dual curved-display setup

• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

• Built-in voice assistant

• Up to nine USB ports across all three rows

Cargo space stays identical to the gas Carnival regardless of powertrain: 40 cubic feet behind the third row, 145 cubic feet with both rear rows folded, plenty for luggage, strollers, or a full round of grocery runs.

Seating flexes the same way, too. A standard eight-passenger bench comes first, or captain's chairs with pop-up footrests on EX, SX, and SX Prestige bring that down to a seven-passenger layout built for longer road trips.

Seating & Cargo Notes:

• Standard second-row bench for eight-passenger seating

• Optional captain's chairs on EX, SX, and SX Prestige (seven-passenger)

• 40 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row

• Power driver's seat and heated front seats

• Standard blind-spot detection

EX adds convenience:

• 19-inch wheels and smart power liftgate

• Power front seats with driver's memory seat

• Roof rails and wireless phone charger

SX brings more tech and style:

• Dual sunroofs and 19-inch black wheels

• Blind-spot and 360-degree surround view monitor

• Ventilated front seats with dual 12.3-inch displays

SX Prestige tops the range:

• Dark Edition styling with leather seat trim

• Head-up display and digital rearview mirror

Kia Confidence: Warranty Coverage You Can Count On

The Carnival Hybrid's warranty terms match the gas model's exactly: five years or 60,000 miles on the limited warranty, 10 years or 100,000 miles on the powertrain, with no complimentary maintenance included. That powertrain figure holds up well against most other minivans and three-row SUVs on the market.

Crain Kia's Sherwood team can go over Kia's industry-leading warranty in more detail, including what's covered versus what falls to routine upkeep.

Warranty Details:

• 5-year/60,000-mile limited warranty
