Eight-passenger seating, a 3.5-liter V6 rated at 287 horsepower, and 40.2 cubic feet of cargo room behind the third row put the 2027 Kia Carnival in a different category than a typical family SUV. Kia builds it across five trims, from the LX up to the SX Prestige, all sharing that same V6 and 8-speed automatic transmission. Prescott Valley Kia keeps the Carnival in stock for Chino Valley families who need genuine passenger and cargo capacity without sacrificing everyday drivability.
A 3.5-liter V6 producing 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque pairs with an 8-speed automatic transmission for a minivan that doesn’t feel strained when it’s fully loaded. Towing capacity reaches up to 3,500 pounds, useful for families near Chino Valley hauling a small trailer or camper on weekend trips.
Eight-passenger seating comes standard, with 40.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row that expands to 145.1 cubic feet with seats folded flat. Front seats get 8-way power adjustment and multi-level heating, giving Prescott-area parents a cabin built for long drives without the cramped feeling of a smaller SUV.
A 12.3 inch touchscreen runs wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, so drivers shuttling kids between Flagstaff and home don’t need a cord to stay connected. Wireless charging and adaptive cruise control come standard too, along with three-zone climate control to keep every row comfortable on longer trips.
The 2027 lineup runs five trims deep, LX, LXS, EX, SX, and SX Prestige, all built around the same 3.5-liter V6 and 8-speed automatic rather than splitting power options across the range. Standard safety coverage includes blind spot warning, lane keep assist, and rear cross traffic alert on every trim, along with LED headlamps and third-row head airbags for full-cabin protection.
A 19-gallon fuel tank and a highway range near 494 miles mean fewer stops for Prescott families making the drive into Prescott Valley or across Yavapai County for weekend errands. That same range holds up for Chino Valley households running longer distances, and the standard three-zone climate control keeps things comfortable no matter how far the trip runs. Flagstaff drivers dealing with cooler temperatures and elevation changes get the benefit of that cabin space and comfort on every trip.
