2027 Kia Carnival for Sale in Sherwood, AR

Kia offers this exact minivan in two ways for 2027: the standard 2027 Kia Carnival in Sherwood, AR, with its 287-hp V6, or as a Carnival Hybrid with a more efficient powertrain. Either route gets Central Arkansas families up to eight seats and styling that skips the usual minivan look entirely, along with a factory-rated tow capacity of 3,500 pounds for anyone hauling more than just passengers.

Sherwood shoppers can find the 2027 Carnival at Crain Kia, ready for a closer look across all five trims.

What's New for 2027?

SX Prestige isn't the only trim with Dark Edition access anymore. EX joins it for 2027. That same EX trim also gains second-row captain's chairs, an option the SX picks up as well, giving shoppers a lounge-style layout without paying for the top trim.

Elsewhere, Iceberg Green replaces Flare Red in the color lineup, rounding out a modest but meaningful set of updates for a Carnival that was already refreshed just a couple of years back.

2027 Carnival Updates:

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

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

• Iceberg Green added to the color lineup on EX, SX, and SX Prestige

• Flare Red discontinued

Standard equipment on the 2027 Carnival covers a lot of ground:

• 287-hp 3.5-liter V6 paired with an 8-speed automatic

• Seating for seven or eight, depending on second-row configuration

• 12.3-inch touchscreen standard, with an optional dual-screen setup

• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

• Standard lane-keeping assist, automated emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring

• Towing capacity up to 3,500 pounds

• Massive cargo space, up to 145 cubic feet with all rows folded

Why the Carnival makes sense for Central Arkansas families comes down to exactly this kind of standard equipment list.

Kia Drive Wise is the umbrella term for the Carnival's standard driver-assistance features: lane-departure warning, automated emergency braking with cyclist detection, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assist, automatic high-beams, and blind-spot monitoring. None of it requires moving up from the base LX trim.

Trims further up the range add adaptive cruise control, lane centering, rear automatic braking, and a 360-degree surround view monitor, features that matter most on longer highway stretches or when parking in tighter Central Arkansas neighborhoods.

Standard Safety Features:

• Lane-departure warning

• Automated emergency braking with cyclist detection

• Rear cross-traffic alert

• Lane-keeping assist

• Automatic high-beams

• Blind-spot monitoring

Voice commands, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and an optional second screen for a digital gauge cluster cover most of what drivers need inside the Carnival's cabin. Up to seven USB ports keep devices charged throughout all three rows, and wireless charging joins the mix starting on EX trim.

Getting the most out of CarPlay and Android Auto is easy: both connect wirelessly, are standard on every trim, and require no cable or subscription.

Cabin Technology:

• 12.3-inch touchscreen, with optional dual-screen setup

• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

• Built-in voice assistant

• Up to 7 USB ports throughout the cabin

• Wireless charging standard on EX and up

Cargo capacity headlines the Carnival's cabin story: 145 cubic feet with both rear rows folded, 40 cubic feet with all three still in use, enough for a full grocery run or a weekend's worth of luggage without stacking anything on laps.

Passenger space holds up too. An eight-passenger bench comes standard in the second row, optional captain's chairs trim that to seven, and the third row genuinely fits adults, not just kids, for shorter trips around town.

Space & Storage:

• Standard second-row bench (eight-passenger) or optional captain's chairs (seven-passenger)

• Third row usable by adults, not just kids

• 40 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row

• 145 cubic feet of cargo space with both rear rows folded

Budget and features scale together across the 2027 Carnival's five trims.

LX covers the essentials:

• 7-passenger seating with power sliding rear doors

• 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation

• 18 driver and safety assistance features

LXS adds comfort:

• 8-passenger seating with 2nd-row slide-flex seating

• 8-way power driver's seat

• Heated front seats

EX brings modern convenience:

• 19-inch wheels and smart power liftgate

• Power front seats with driver's memory seat

• Roof rails and wireless phone charger

SX steps up tech and styling:

• 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 lineup:

• Dark Edition styling with leather seat trim

• Bose premium audio and heated steering wheel

• Head-up display and digital rearview mirror

Sherwood shoppers can see all five trims parked side by side at Crain Kia.

Kia Confidence: Warranty Coverage You Can Count On

Kia's coverage on the Carnival splits into two parts: a five-year, 60,000-mile limited warranty, and a 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty that outlasts what most rivals in this segment offer. Complimentary maintenance isn't part of either, so it's worth budgeting for that first service.

Kia's industry-leading warranty is worth discussing with the Sherwood team at Crain Kia before you finalize a deal, especially if you're cross-shopping other brands.

Coverage Overview:

• 5-year/60,000-mile limited warranty

• 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty

• No complimentary maintenance included
