The all-new 2027 Kia EV3 is Kia’s most attainable EV, starting at $29,890 MSRP and offering up to 321 miles of EPA-estimated range. Buyers can choose from five trims, front-wheel or all-wheel drive, and two battery sizes, with DC fast charging from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 29 minutes. Lawton drivers can see, touch, and test drive the 2027 Kia EV3 in person at Lawton Kia. Going electric used to mean paying a premium. The 2027 Kia EV3 changes that. It’s best for first-time EV shoppers, commuters who want to skip the gas station, and small families or couples who want a stylish, right-sized SUV that’s easy to park and still roomy inside. With up to 321 miles of range, it’s built for more than quick trips around town, and drivers who can charge at home can start every morning with a full battery. Kia designed the 2027 EV3 to bring EV9-inspired style and technology to a smaller, more affordable package. It effectively fills the spot left by the Niro EV, which Kia is discontinuing from the 2027 model year onward. 2027 Kia EV3 Overview The Kia EV3 is all-new for 2027, and it arrives as Kia’s most affordable EV. It’s a compact SUV with bold, boxy styling, a clean and modern cabin, and the kind of tech you’d expect from a much larger vehicle. Highlights of the 2027 Kia EV3: Up to 321 miles of EPA-estimated range on the Wind FWD and Land FWD Two battery options: 58.3 kWh (Light) and 81.4 kWh (Wind, Land, GT-Line, and GT) Front-wheel drive, with available all-wheel drive on Wind and Land and standard AWD on GT-Line and GT A native NACS charge port, so no adapter is needed A GT model with 288 horsepower, sport-tuned suspension and steering, and available Virtual Gear Shift The U.S.-exclusive Nightfall black appearance package Seating for five, 26.1 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, and a 0.9-cubic-foot front trunk (frunk) Three Ways To Perform The 2027 Kia EV3 gives drivers a choice of power to match their driving style: Front-wheel drive: A single motor making 201 horsepower and 209 pound-feet of torque, available on the Light, Wind, and Land All-wheel drive: Dual motors making 261 horsepower and 284 pound-feet of torque EV3 GT: All-wheel drive with 288 horsepower, a sport-tuned suspension and steering, and available Virtual Gear Shift and Active Sound Design The i-Pedal 3.0 one-pedal driving system works with Kia’s adaptive regenerative braking to recapture energy. It now works in reverse and remembers your last setting when you restart the car. Stand-Out Range Range is where the 2027 Kia EV3 really shines for a car at this price. The Wind FWD and Land FWD lead with 321 miles of EPA-estimated range on the 81.4 kWh battery. All-wheel-drive models are rated at 280 miles, and the Light, with its 58.3 kWh battery, is rated at 221 miles, plenty for daily driving and errands. Range varies with temperature, driving style, and load, so we’re happy to help you choose the right trim for your routine. Efficient MPGe The 2027 Kia EV3 is efficient as well. EPA-estimated efficiency is 115 MPGe combined for the Light, 117 MPGe combined for the Wind and Land FWD, and 103 MPGe combined for the AWD models. Kia credits a drag coefficient as low as 0.275 Cd to an active air flap in the front bumper, a full underbody cover, and aero wheels. Fast Charging When it’s time to charge on the road, the 2027 Kia EV3 can go from 10 to 80 percent on a DC fast charger in an estimated 29 minutes on the Light and 31 minutes on the Wind, Land, GT-Line, and GT. The native NACS port sits on the front passenger side, and Plug and Charge through the Kia Charge Pass in the Kia Access app lets you plug in and go (setup and an active Kia Connect subscription required). A Comfortable & Convenient Interior Step inside the 2027 Kia EV3 and you’ll find a clean, open cabin built to make the most of its compact footprint. Seating for five, a 60/40 split-folding second row, and up to 56.5 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded give you flexibility for groceries, gear, and weekend luggage.

The 2026 Kia Carnival, 2026 Toyota Sienna, 2026 Chrysler Pacifica, and 2026 Honda Odyssey each take their rightful place in the minivan segment. The 2026 Carnival starts at $36,990, undercutting the 2026 Honda Odyssey, 2026 Toyota Sienna, and 2026 Chrysler Pacifica at their respective entry points while matching or exceeding their standard equipment. Lawton-area families can take the 2026 Kia Carnival for a test drive at Lawton Kia. The minivan segment may have fewer players than it used to, but the competition among the ones left standing has never been sharper. The 2026 Kia Carnival goes head to head with the 2026 Honda Odyssey, 2026 Toyota Sienna, and 2026 Chrysler Pacifica, three vehicles that have defined family transportation for years. Each takes a different approach to power, efficiency, and price, so the right choice comes down to what your family needs most. 2026 Kia Carnival Overview The 2026 Kia Carnival carries forward as one of the freshest minivans on the market, after last year's hybrid powertrain addition. It stands out with SUV-inspired styling that Kia itself calls an MPV rather than a minivan. Buyers get a choice between a 287-horsepower V6 or a 242-horsepower turbo-hybrid system. Kia backs every 2026 Carnival with a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. The lineup's class-leading 145.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo space and available VIP Lounge seating make it a fit for large families, road trippers, and anyone who wants their minivan to feel like a premium crossover inside. 2026 Honda Odyssey Overview The 2026 Honda Odyssey continues with its familiar four trim lineup and no major mechanical changes this year, relying on the same 280-horsepower V6 and 10-speed automatic that have defined the nameplate for years. Leather upholstery is now standard across every trim. The Honda Odyssey signature Magic Slide second-row seats and removable center section give it more cargo flexibility than hybrid rivals whose battery packs limit second-row removal. This makes it a strong fit for families who need to switch between passenger and cargo hauling on short notice. 2026 Toyota Sienna Overview The 2026 Toyota Sienna adds more standard equipment across its LE, XLE, and XSE grades this year. A new Heavy Metal exterior color, while keeping its hybrid-only powertrain strategy unchanged. Every trim delivers an EPA-estimated 35 to 36 mpg combined. The 2026 Sienna is the only minivan here offered with all-wheel drive on gas-electric power. This fact makes it the pick for families who want minivan practicality with SUV-like efficiency and foul-weather traction. 2026 Chrysler Pacifica Overview The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica celebrates Chrysler's 100th anniversary with a new appearance package built on the entry-level Select trim. The plug-in hybrid lineup gains a new Select Premium mid-level trim. 2026 Pacifica offers a 287-horsepower V6 standard and all-wheel drive on every trim. The Chrysler Pacifica signature Stow 'n Go seating makes it the pick for families who need to alternate between passenger and cargo duty without removing a single seat. The Competition Each of these four minivans, the 2026 Kia Carnival, Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, and Chrysler Pacifica, takes a distinct approach rather than directly overlapping. The right choice comes down to priorities around power, efficiency, and price. Performance and Powertrain Comparison The 2026 Kia Carnival and 2026 Chrysler Pacifica lead on raw V6 power. 2026 Toyota Sienna models lead on efficiency by a wide margin, and the 2026 Honda Odyssey sits in between with a proven, conventional approach. 2026 Kia Carnival Performance The 2026 Kia Carnival standard 3.5-liter V6 produces 287 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque paired with an eight-speed automatic, while the available 1.6-liter turbo-hybrid system produces a combined 242 horsepower with a six-speed automatic for buyers who want better fuel economy. Both configurations use front-wheel drive, and the hybrid delivers up to roughly 33 mpg combined, a meaningful step up from the V6's 21 mpg combined rating. 2026 Honda Odyssey Performance Every 2026 Honda Odyssey trim uses the same 3.5-liter V6 producing 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels. Honda's VTEC and Variable Cylinder Management technology help the naturally aspirated engine return an EPA-estimated 22 mpg combined. There is no hybrid or all-wheel-drive option available on the 2026 Odyssey. 2026 Toyota Sienna Performance The 2026 Toyota Sienna is the only hybrid-exclusive minivan in this comparison. It pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with up to three electric motors for a combined 245 horsepower. Front-wheel-drive models return an EPA-estimated 36 mpg combined, while the available all-wheel-drive system, which uses a dedicated rear electric motor rather than a driveshaft, returns 35 mpg combined. 2026 Chrysler Pacifica Performance The standard 2026 Chrysler Pacifica uses a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 producing 287 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque paired with a nine-speed automatic, with all-wheel drive available on every trim. A separate plug-in hybrid lineup combines the V6 with two electric motors and a 16-kWh battery for a combined 260 horsepower, up to 32 miles of electric-only range, and an EPA-estimated 82 MPGe in electric mode. Interior Luxury and Comfort Comparison Interior space and materials vary meaningfully across this group. The 2026 Kia Carnival showcases a crossover-inspired cabin and the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica highlight is the Stow 'n Go flexibility. 2026 Kia Carnival Interior The 2026 Kia Carnival offers a class-leading 145.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo space and comes standard with cloth or SynTex upholstery. Moving up to SynTex or genuine leather makes two-tone palettes available including Deep Navy and Misty Gray or Tuscan Umber on higher trims. The top SX Prestige trim adds available VIP Lounge second-row seats that are power-reclining, heated, and ventilated with pop-out leg rests. A dual power sunroof and 64-color ambient lighting gives the cabin a distinctly upscale feel for the segment. 2026 Honda Odyssey Interior The 2026 Honda Odyssey offers 160.1 cubic feet of passenger volume with 40.9 inches of front and second-row legroom and 38.1 inches of third-row legroom. Leather upholstery is now standard on every trim. The Magic Slide second-row seats can be configured as a bench, split apart for third-row access, or have their center section removed entirely. This gives the 2026 Odyssey roughly 57 cubic feet more maximum cargo space than the 2026 Sienna since there's no battery pack limiting second-row removal. 2026 Toyota Sienna Interior The 2026 Toyota Sienna offers 40.3 inches of front legroom, 39.9 inches of second-row legroom, and 38.7 inches of third-row legroom. Woven fabric seats in a cool gray tone on the LE, SofTex-trimmed seating on XLE, XSE, and Woodland Edition trims, and leather-trimmed interiors in combinations like Macadamia and Black on Limited and Platinum grades. Because the hybrid battery sits beneath the second row, those seats can't be removed like on the 2026 Odyssey or 2026 Pacifica. 2026 Chrysler Pacifica Interior The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica offers just over 41 inches of front legroom, 39 inches of second-row legroom, and 36.5 inches of third-row legroom. Standard black Caprice leatherette comes on the Select trim, Nappa leather on the Limited, and quilted Sepia Nappa leather with lumbar pillows on the range-topping Pinnacle. The signature Stow 'n Go system folds both the second and third rows flat into the floor for up to 140.5 cubic feet of cargo space. Technology and Infotainment Comparison Each of these four minivans takes a different approach to screens and connectivity. The 2026 Kia Carnival dual-panoramic-display flagship trims stand out. 2026 Kia Carnival Technology Higher 2026 Kia Carnival trims feature dual 12.3-inch panoramic displays spanning the instrument cluster and center touchscreen for roughly 24 inches of combined screen space. Every trim gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. The SX Prestige adds a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system, and available features include a Passenger View in-cabin camera with night vision, a Passenger Talk intercom, and a dual-screen rear entertainment system for keeping kids occupied on long drives. 2026 Honda Odyssey Technology Every 2026 Honda Odyssey comes standard with a 9-inch touchscreen and a 7-inch TFT instrument display, both supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Touring and Elite trims step up to the Advanced Rear Entertainment System with a 12.8-inch screen, and the Elite adds an 11-speaker premium audio system along with CabinWatch and CabinTalk, which let the driver monitor and communicate with rear passengers through a camera and speakers. 2026 Toyota Sienna Technology The 2026 Toyota Sienna LE trim uses an 8-inch touchscreen, while XLE, XSE, Woodland Edition, Limited, and Platinum trims step up to a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen running the Toyota Audio Multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. An available rear-seat entertainment system with an 11.6-inch display and an optional 12-speaker JBL premium audio system round out the tech. 2026 Chrysler Pacifica Technology Every 2026 Chrysler Pacifica comes standard with a 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with Alexa Built-In for hands-free voice commands. Higher trims add wireless device charging and a Uconnect Theater rear-seat entertainment system. Dual touchscreens, and audio options range from a standard six-speaker setup up to a 19-speaker Harman Kardon system with a 760-watt amplifier on the Pinnacle. Safety and Driver Assistance Comparison Each minivan in this comparison treats core safety technology as standard equipment, though the naming and packaging of specific features differs by brand. Here is a closer look at what each one offers. 2026 Kia Carnival Safety Every 2026 Kia Carnival comes standard with a strong foundation of Kia Drive Wise driver-assistance technology. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist Higher 2026 Carnival trims add Highway Driving Assist 2, which maintains a set speed and following distance and can gently assist with lane changes when the turn signal is tapped. An available Surround View Monitor for a 360-degree, bird's-eye view when parking, is also available. 2026 Honda Odyssey Safety The full Honda Sensing suite comes standard across every 2026 Honda Odyssey trim. This gives every buyer the same baseline of protection regardless of price point. Collision Mitigation Braking Advanced Pedestrian Detection Forward Collision Warning Lane Keeping Assist Road Departure Mitigation Adaptive Cruise Control Low-Speed Follow Blind-Spot Information System Cross Traffic Monitor Higher 2026 Odyssey trims add up to eight total parking sensors along with traffic jam assist for added support in stop-and-go conditions. 2026 Toyota Sienna Safety Every 2026 Toyota Sienna comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 2.0. This is a comprehensive package that covers the essentials without requiring a trim upgrade. Pre-Collision System Pedestrian Detection Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control Lane Departure Alert Steering Assist Road Sign Assist Automatic High Beams Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert is included as well, giving the 2026 Sienna one of the most complete standard safety packages in the segment at every trim level. 2026 Chrysler Pacifica Safety The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica comes standard with a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technology across every trim. Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning Active Braking Support Blind Spot Detection Rear Cross-Path Detection Lane Keep Assist Adaptive Cruise Control With Stop-And-Go The 2026 Pacifica has an available Safety Sphere package that adds a 360-degree surround view camera. Lastly, an available FamCAM interior camera lets parents keep an eye on rear passengers without turning around. 2026 Pricing and Value On sticker price alone, the 2026 Kia Carnival undercuts every competitor in this comparison at both the entry and top end of its lineup. 2026 Kia Carnival prices range between $36,990 and $51,090 2026 Honda Odyssey prices range between $44,245 and $53,145 2026 Toyota Sienna prices range between $40,820 and $53,505 2026 Chrysler Pacifica prices range between $44,445 and $56,095, with plug-in hybrid trims reaching $60,465 Value extends beyond the number on the window sticker. The 2026 Kia Carnival pairs its lower starting price with a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, longer than the coverage offered by Honda, Toyota, or Chrysler on their minivans, while still delivering class-leading cargo space and available luxury features like VIP Lounge seating that typically cost more elsewhere in the segment. Test Drive a 2026 Kia Carnival at Lawton Kia Each of these four luxury minivans rewards a different kind of family. The 2026 Honda Odyssey offers the most cargo flexibility thanks to its removable second-row seats. 2026 Toyota Sienna models deliver unmatched fuel economy and the only hybrid all-wheel-drive option in the segment. The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica pairs Stow 'n Go practicality with the widest powertrain choice, from V6 to plug-in hybrid. However, the 2026 Kia Carnival stands out by combining more standard cargo space, a longer warranty, and a lower starting price than any of them. Ready to experience the future of family driving?

The 2026 Kia EV9 delivers spacious adult seating across all three rows while starting thousands of dollars below luxury rivals. Built on an ultra-fast 800-volt architecture, the EV9 recharges from 10% to 80% in under 25 minutes to significantly outperform competitors in real-world charging speed. Every EV9 comes backed by Kia's industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile warranty and standard Drive Wise safety technologies. The three-row family EV segment is where automakers are pushing the boundaries of space, tech, and performance. While luxury and boutique EV brands were early to market, the 2026 Kia EV9 continues to change the paradigm. It combines an ultra-fast 800-volt charging architecture, adult-friendly third-row seating, and pricing that comfortably undercuts its luxury competitors. The 2026 EV9 makes a compelling case against the Rivian R1S, Volvo EX90, and Tesla Model X. 2026 Kia EV9 Overview Following its award-winning debut, the 2026 Kia EV9 carries forward as the benchmark for practical, family-sized electric SUVs. Building on its ultra-versatile platform, the 2026 EV9 offers both rear-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive configurations across multiple trims. Highlights include standard 800V DC fast charging capable of going from 10% to 80% in under 25 minutes, standard 3-row seating, and available VIP relaxation seats. Starting around $55,000 and topping out near $75,000, the 2026 EV9 delivers luxury-level features without the luxury-brand markup. 2026 Rivian R1S Overview The 2026 Rivian R1S is built for drivers who want off-road capability combined with three-row utility. Available in Dual, Tri, and Quad-motor setups, the 2026 R1S delivers immense horsepower, high towing capacity, and impressive ground clearance. However, that capability comes with a starting price pushing near $76,000 and quickly reaching six figures for top-tier configurations. 2026 Volvo EX90 Overview The 2026 Volvo EX90 brings classic Scandinavian minimalism into the flagship 3-row electric space. Focused on understated luxury, sustainable interior materials, and industry-leading sensor technology, the 2026 EX90 appeals to safety-conscious luxury buyers. Starting around $80,000, it delivers smooth performance and refined road manners, though it commands a premium price tag over mainstream family EVs. 2026 Tesla Model X Overview The 2026 Tesla Model X remains the veteran contender in this class. Known for its signature Falcon Wing rear doors, swift acceleration, and integration with the Supercharger network, the 2026 Model X continues to attract tech enthusiasts. Starting around $80,000 for basic configurations and climbing rapidly for the Plaid variant, its higher cost and unique door layout present trade-offs compared to traditional SUV designs. Performance & Powertrain Comparison Each of these three-row EVs takes a different approach to power delivery. Rivian R1S shoppers want maximum horsepower and off-road grit, Volvo EX90 buyers want composed, air-suspended cruising, and Tesla Model X drivers want the fastest straight-line acceleration in the segment. The 2026 Kia EV9 slots in as the balanced option 2026 Kia EV9 Performance The 2026 Kia EV9 offers a choice between a single-motor rear-wheel-drive layout producing 215 horsepower or a dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain. It delivers up to 379 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque (with Boost mode). The AWD variant accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in roughly 4.5 to 5.0 seconds. 2026 Rivian R1S Performance Performance is the 2026 Rivian R1S headline feature. Output ranges from 533 horsepower in the base Dual-Motor setup to over 1,000 horsepower in high-end Quad-Motor trims. It sprints from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 2.6 seconds when equipped with the highest-output powertrain. Range options span between 270 and 410 miles, though its heavy curb weight impacts energy efficiency. 2026 Volvo EX90 Performance The 2026 Volvo EX90 features standard dual-motor all-wheel drive, generating 402 horsepower in standard form or 510 horsepower with the Performance package. Acceleration to 60 mph takes roughly 4.7 seconds in the Performance trim. Its estimated range reaches up to 300 miles on a full charge, backed by an air suspension system tuned for composure and ride comfort. 2026 Tesla Model X Performance The standard 2026 Tesla Model X dual-motor powertrain produces 670 horsepower with an EPA-estimated range of around 335 miles. Stepping up to the 2026 Model X Plaid adds a third motor for a massive 1,020 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of 2.5 seconds. While unmatched in straight-line speed, its ride firmness leans more towards performance than plush cruising. Interior Luxury and Comfort Comparison Cabin materials and passenger space set these four SUVs apart just as much as what's under the hood. Rivian and Volvo lean on premium, sustainability-minded materials, Tesla trades traditional comfort touches for a minimalist, screen-first cabin, and the 2026 Kia EV9 counters with third-row space and available relaxation seating. 2026 Kia EV9 Interior The 2026 Kia EV9 boasts one of the most versatile cabins in the segment. It offers genuine 7-passenger capacity or a 6-passenger layout with second-row captain’s chairs. Higher trims feature executive VIP Relaxation Seats with power leg rests, heating, and ventilation. Cargo space behind the third row is a generous 20.2 cubic feet, expanding to a massive 81.7 cubic feet with all rear seats folded down. Synthetic SynTex leather, ambient lighting, and acoustic glass create a refined, quiet cabin atmosphere. 2026 Rivian R1S Interior The 2026 Rivian R1S blends rugged utility with premium materials, incorporating vegan leather and real wood accents. It offers seating for seven and exceptional cargo capacity, including a large front trunk (frunk). However, space in the third row is noticeably tighter for adult passengers compared to the roomier floor plan of the  2026 EV9. 2026 Volvo EX90 Interior True to Scandinavian design, the 2026 Volvo EX90 cabin uses Nordico synthetic upholstery, wool blend options, and backlit wood trim. The seating is ergonomically designed for long-distance travel, though third-row legroom is best suited for kids or shorter trips. 2026 Tesla Model X Interior The 2026 Tesla Model X cabin is ultra-minimalist, dominated by a large central screen and an optional steering yoke. While visually striking, the cabin lacks traditional physical controls. The Falcon Wing doors make third-row entry unique, but interior storage flexibility falls slightly short of standard boxy SUV layouts. Technology and Charging Speed Comparison Charging architecture and infotainment design vary widely across this group. Rivian and Tesla build their own proprietary systems without native smartphone mirroring. Volvo centers its cabin around Google Built-In, and the 2026 Kia EV9 pairs an 800-volt platform with familiar wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. 2026 Kia EV9 Technology The 2026 Kia EV9 leads the class in real-world charging convenience thanks to its 800-volt architecture. When connected to a 350 kW DC fast charger, it recharges from 10% to 80% in approximately 20 to 24 minutes. Up front, a panoramic triple-screen display combines a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, a 5.0-inch climate display, and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen. Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Digital Key 2.0, and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) bidirectional power capability come standard. 2026 Rivian R1S Technology The 2026 Rivian R1S uses a custom infotainment system centered on a 15.6-inch touchscreen. While feature-rich with built-in navigation and off-road telemetry, it notably lacks native support for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Its 400V architecture results in typical 10-80% DC fast charge times around 30 to 40 minutes. 2026 Volvo EX90 Technology Centering its layout around a 14.5-inch vertical display powered by Google Built-In, the 2026 Volvo EX90 provides seamless integration with Google Maps and Assistant. Fast-charging capability allows a 10-80% charge in about 30 minutes under ideal conditions. 2026 Tesla Model X Technology Tesla’s 17-inch cinematic center screen controls virtually every vehicle function in the 2026 Model X. Access to the Tesla Supercharger network remains a major convenience benefit. However, like the Rivian, the 2026 Tesla Model X does not support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto natively.

The 2026 Kia Carnival is powered by a 287-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine and offers up to 145.1 cubic feet of cargo space. It’s available in five trim levels including the LX, LSX, EX, XS, and the XS Prestige. The 2026 Kia Carnival is backed by Kia's industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. If you're shopping for a vehicle that can handle the chaos of family life without looking like it gave up on style, the 2026 Kia Carnival deserves a long, hard look. It seats up to eight passengers, packs in more standard technology than most luxury SUVs, and starts at a price that won't keep you up at night. With its bold SUV-inspired exterior, a genuinely impressive interior, and a safety suite that covers nearly every scenario, the Carnival has evolved far beyond what people used to call a "minivan." This is a modern family vehicle done right. 2026 Kia Carnival Overview The 2026 Kia Carnival is a three-row, front-wheel-drive multi-purpose vehicle available in five gas-powered trim levels: LX, LXS, EX, SX, and SX Prestige. A 2026 Carnival Hybrid lineup runs parallel with four trims of its own. The gas model is assembled in South Korea and seats seven or eight passengers depending on second-row configuration. For 2026, available exterior colors include: Aurora Black Pearl Snow White Pearl Panthera Metal Flare Red Ceramic Silver Deep Chroma Blue Ivory Silver The SX Dark Edition package is also available on upper trims, adding a blacked-out grille, dark mirrors, dark badges, and 19-inch dark-finish wheels for a more assertive urban look. Wheel sizing scales with trim. The base LX rides on 17-inch alloy wheels, while the EX, SX, and SX Prestige step up to more prominent 19-inch designs. Front-Wheel Drive Performance Every gas-powered 2026 Carnival is powered by a 3.5-liter DOHC V6 engine that produces 287 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 260 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm. Power is sent to the front wheels through an 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is not available on the gas powered 2026 Carnival, but the front-wheel-drive setup is well-sorted and predictable. The four-wheel independent suspension features front and rear stabilizer bars for composed, controlled handling. Ground clearance sits at 6.8 inches, and the 2026 Carnival can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped, making it surprisingly useful for light trailering duties. For shoppers who want better efficiency without giving up practicality, the 2026 Carnival Hybrid pairs a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with an electric motor for a combined output of 242 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. EPA-Rated Fuel Economy The standard V6 2026 Carnival is EPA-rated at 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, with a combined rating of 21 mpg. The 19.0-gallon fuel tank gives you a highway range of approximately 475 miles on a full tank, and the engine runs on regular unleaded gasoline. Step up to the 2026 Carnival Hybrid and the numbers improve dramatically: the hybrid earns an EPA-estimated 33 mpg combined, nearly doubling the gas model's city fuel economy and making a compelling case for the higher upfront cost over time. Top Speeds The 2026 Kia Carnival's 3.5L V6 engine reaches 60 mph from a standstill in roughly 7.0 to 7.5 seconds. The newly introduced 1.6L turbo-hybrid powertrain, however, is a bit more leisurely off the line, with 0-60 mph times estimated between 7.8 and 9.2 seconds. Best In Class Interior The 2026 Kia Carnival interior is where this vehicle really makes its case. Cargo capacity reaches 145.1 cubic feet with all seats folded, and even with all three rows in use, there's still 40.2 cubic feet of space behind the third row. That's the best-in-class room by a significant margin. Color-selectable ambient interior lighting is available on higher trims, adding a polished, atmospheric feel to the cabin during evening drives. Both front seats come with multi-level heating standard, and ventilated front seats are available on the SX Prestige. Seating materials vary across the lineup. The base LX comes with cloth upholstery. The LXS, EX, and SX trims are fitted with leatherette surfaces. Available interior color combinations include: Tuscan Umber/Off-Black Leatherette Off-Black/Taupe Leatherette Deep Navy/Misty Gray Leatherette Caramel Leatherette The second row is where the 2026 Kia Carnival separates itself from the competition. The available Slide-Flex seating system lets the center second-row seat slide and fold into a flat table surface that passengers in both rear rows can use. On SX and SX Prestige trims, optional VIP Lounge Seats feature one-touch power recline, power footrests, and individual heating and ventilation for a genuine first-class experience. Strong in Technology Every 2026 Kia Carnival trim comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display. On upper trims, a second 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster display joins the party, creating a sweeping dual-screen panoramic setup that spans the entire width of the dashboard. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across all trims. Seven USB ports are distributed throughout the cabin, and wireless device charging is available. Google Assistant integration comes standard, and a Bose premium 12-speaker audio system is available. Available dual 14.6-inch rear-seat entertainment screens make long road trips dramatically more peaceful. Kia's Digital Key 2.0 lets you use a compatible smartphone as a key fob on upper trims. A Smart Power Tailgate allows hands-free access to the rear cargo area. An available Passenger View Camera with Night Vision uses the infotainment display to show rear-seat occupants even in low-light conditions. Standard Safety Features The 2026 Carnival comes equipped with 18 standard driver assistance features, placing it at the front of the class for standard safety content. Every trim includes: Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist Lane Keeping Assist Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist Driver Attention Warning Safe Exit Assist, and Rear Occupant Alert Pre-Collision and Post-Collision Safety Systems Upper trims add additional safety features including: Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control With Stop And Go, Highway Driving Assist 2 For Semi-Autonomous Highway Travel, And The Full 360-Degree Camera Suite The airbag system includes dual front side-mounted airbags, front and rear and third-row head curtain airbags, and passenger airbag occupant-sensing deactivation. Four-wheel ABS, electronic stability control, and traction control round out the passive and active safety systems. Price of the 2026 Kia Carnival The 2026 Kia Carnival price starts around $37,000 MSRP for the base LX trim. That starting price puts it in a strong position against rivals like the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna, both of which start higher and offer less standard content. You can expect the top SX Prestige trim to cost around $52,000. Price by Trim It’s important to note that the prices listed below are strictly estimates. We highly recommend you visit your local Kia dealer in person to ensure accurate prices. LX: $37,390 LXS: $39,390 EX: $41,590 SX: $46,490 SX Prestige: $51,490 Kia Warranty Kia backs the 2026 Carnival with one of the most comprehensive warranties in the automotive industry.

The Kia Sportage is a compact crossover SUV that has desirable features of both a car and an SUV. The 2023 Kia Sportage features that are considered an SUV include towing capacity, roof rails, off-road features, seating capacity, and advanced safety features. Features that the 2023 Kia Sportage has that are considered a car include width, interior space, and safety features. When it comes to classifying vehicles, there are often blurred lines between different categories. One such example is the Kia Sportage, a popular offering from the Korean automaker. Is the Kia Sportage a car or SUV? It’s both–kind of. The Kia Sportage is a versatile vehicle that falls under the category of compact crossover SUVs. While its earlier generations were initially built on a body-on-frame chassis, the second-generation Sportage transitioned to a car-based platform, aligning it with the compact crossover SUV class. The Kia Sportage combines the agility and maneuverability of a car with the practicality and versatility of an SUV, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a balance between urban mobility and adventurous capability. What is the 2023 Kia Sportage? The 2023 Kia Sportage builds upon the success of its predecessors and further blurs the line between car and SUV. Below we have an outline of what the 2023 Sportage entails. Kia Sportage Exterior The 2023 Kia Sportage exterior features a bold and eye-catching design that embodies Kia's commitment to pushing boundaries. The front fascia is dominated by a wide, tiger-nose grille. This gives the Sportage a distinctive and assertive presence on the road.

If you find yourself questioning if the Kia Sportage is a car or SUV, you’re not the only one! Like we mentioned above, the Kia Sportage is technically classified as a compact crossover SUV.

The 2025 Kia Sportage continues the line's stylish and dependable legacy. With good mpg and solid acceleration, drivers will move comfortably on city smaller-town streets. Checkout the levels of this 2025 Kia Sportage at Lawton Kia. With impressive updates in style and solid mpg, we know this year’s 2025 Kia Sportage model is worth checking out. This vehicle offers everything you want in a compact SUV and more. The 2025 Kia Sportage not only comes in at an exceptional price, it offers even more range with its seven different trims. The changes are noticeable on the inside and outside. And fear not hybrid lovers, there is something here for you too. The 2025 Kia Sportage exudes confidence, and we think rightfully so. If you loved last year's model, or even have ever noticed the Sportage from afar, consider the new 2025 model. The 2025 Kia Sportage Overview It is hard not to notice any of the Kia Sportage models on the road. We think the 2025 Kia Sportage styling will be no different from the bold and attractive models already out there. A sister of Hyundai, Kia also designs their cars to be a little wacky and quirky, in a fresh way. We think you’ll like this car’s performance in addition to its style. The 2025 Kia Sportage is for anywhere and anything urban / suburban. With the hybrid version you will get more range, which is already pretty reliable in the standard version. The interior of this switches things up from other compact SUVs, giving you and your family members room to grow (literally for some of them). With incredible safety features, and the option to self-park, we think this car couldn’t level up the standards more if it tried. Engine Performance The 2025 Kia Sportage offers many options when it comes to performance. Regardless of which engine you choose to put in this eclectic and energizing SUV, you will find responsive acceleration and smooth performance on the road. The standard model starts out with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that is meant to support balance and efficiency. Other engine options, including a hybrid and turbocharged versions, are configurable. The SUV comes with front-wheel and all-wheel-drive variants. The X-Pro Trim with its all-wheel-drive all-terrain tires variant provides solid stability for any low-grade off-roading a driver desires. MPG The 2025 Kia Sportage brings a little bit of peace of mind with this year’s model compared to previous models. This 2025 model offers solid mpg performance on the road. When the X-Pro trim was tested, it received an EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined, making it a practical choice for daily commuting whether in the city, or on more suburban routes. The hybrid options also make a good argument for long-distance travel. Improvements in engine technology and aerodynamics also help this argument. Expect fewer trips to the pump and fewer stops on your adventures in this year’s model. Top Speeds The newest Kia Sportage model reaches speeds of 0-60mph in a commendable 9.5 seconds. As suggested, there have been improvements in this model that will give a little bit more ease to drivers who are used to models past. When you opt for the Hybrid Sportage, moreover, prepare to receive even more peace of mind on the road with more responsive acceleration and a smoother performance. Want even more thrill in your life, try our turbocharged versions. It’s true some are satisfied with living comfortably, others wish to be on the edge of their seats. No matter what your preference, the 2025 Kia Sportage is the SUV for you! Bold Inside and Out The 2025 Sportage exterior isn’t anything to joke about. The vehicle’s designers were completely serious, but also a little bit inspired, when they designed this year’s model. With the sporty, edgy design that the SUV has always featured, this year’s design comes with an even edgier look, and bold colors to match. The interior of the vehicle is equally impressive. Kia levels up the modern touch with the new neon iconography on the touchscreen. With an intuitive layout and user-friendly controls, the car is easy to drive in. Moreover, there is ample room for every passenger in this vehicle, with the exception of those taller than 6 feet. If that is you, we would recommend checking out this SUV in person to see where the overall fit is. Technology This futuristic vehicle includes not one, but two displays for both the instrument cluster and infotainment system. Talk about thinking ahead of our time. Additionally, consider your technology needs met when it comes to driving in the 2025 Kia Sportage. The vehicle comes standard with USB-C and A ports in both rows of the car, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a wireless charging pad. With the touch of the key fob, this vehicle also supports something we think is pretty advanced for its time: self-parking. You can’t think more forward than that! Safety Features Kia did not just think about the colorful exterior and interior of this vehicle when building it. They also had safety in mind. The 2025 Kia Sportage comes standard with a suite of safety features, including automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring. While they are not absolutely essential, higher trims come with even more features, including adaptive cruise control and a surround-view camera system. Altogether, we think you’ll feel very safe in whatever package you choose. Price of the 2025 Kia Sportage This newest Sportage model comes in at a very reasonable $28,565 making it accessible to many audiences. With more trims, the total package becomes even more attractive. Prices of higher trims can be accounted for by greater luxury and performance. Price Of 2025 Kia Sportage By Trim LX: $28,196 EX: $30,039 X-Line: $32,750 SX: $38,583 SX-Prestige: $35,548 X-Pro: $36,917 X-Pro Prestige: $38,680 Kia Warranty Kia offers a five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and covers the powertrain for 10 years/100,000 miles.

The 2026 Kia Sportage features a refreshed design with stacked LED headlights, a new flat-edged steering wheel, and standard dual 12.3-inch displays across all trims. The updated hybrid powertrain now delivers 231 horsepower and achieves up to 43 MPG combined, while the plug-in hybrid variant offers 34 miles of electric-only range. The 2026 Kia Sportage price starts around $31,000 and is backed by Kia’s generous warranty. The 2026 Kia Sportage continues its strong position in the compact SUV market with thoughtful updates that enhance both style and substance. As Kia's best-selling vehicle globally and in the United States, the Sportage has evolved significantly since its mid-1990s debut. It’s now entering its fifth generation with refined design elements and advanced technology. This year's refresh focuses on bringing the 2026 Kia Sportage more in line with Kia's current design language while maintaining the spaciousness and value proposition that have made it such a popular choice. 2026 Kia Sportage Overview The 2026 Sportage represents an aesthetic evolution from its predecessor, ditching the controversial boomerang-shaped accent lights and low-mounted headlights for more conventional frontal features. The updated design features a broader grille that gives the vehicle a wider stance and more commanding presence on the road. The new inverted seven-shaped daytime running lights incorporate Kia's signature star map LED lighting treatment with distinctive amber accents. Available in multiple configurations including standard gasoline, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid variants, the 2026 Kia Sportage offers something for every type of driver. The 2026 model maintains the spacious five-passenger layout. Exterior paint choices span a wide palette to suit different tastes. Available colors include Ebony Black, Fusion Black, Gravity Gray, Panthera Metal, Steel Gray, Glacial White Pearl, Snow White Pearl, Wolf Gray, and Nebular Blue. Each color can be paired with specific interior combinations depending on the chosen trim level. Performance Under the hood, the standard 2026 Kia Sportage features a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine producing 187 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and 178 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. This engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission, delivering smooth shifts and responsive handling in daily driving situations. For drivers seeking more spirited performance and better fuel efficiency, the 2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid offers a compelling alternative. The hybrid system combines a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with a 44-kilowatt electric traction motor positioned between the engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. The plug-in hybrid variant takes things further with 268 horsepower and the ability to travel up to 34 miles on battery power alone, making it ideal for short commutes that can be completed entirely on electricity. When properly equipped, the 2026 Kia Sportage offers a maximum towing capacity of 2,500 pounds, though an aftermarket trailer brake controller is required to achieve this rating. While not class-leading, this capacity is sufficient for small trailers, lightweight boats, or recreational equipment. MPG Fuel efficiency varies across the 2026 Kia Sportage lineup depending on powertrain configuration. The standard gasoline engine with front-wheel drive achieves EPA estimates of 25 mpg city and 32 mpg highway, with a combined rating of approximately 28 mpg. In real-world highway testing, an all-wheel-drive 2026 Kia Sportage X-Pro Prestige returned 31 mpg on a 75-mph fuel economy route. The 2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid delivers significantly better fuel economy, with the most efficient front-wheel-drive configuration earning up to 43 mpg combined. All-wheel-drive hybrid models achieve approximately 35 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 35 mpg combined. The plug-in hybrid offers the best of both worlds for drivers with access to home charging. The 34-mile electric range allows many commuters to complete their daily driving entirely on electricity, with the gasoline engine serving as a backup for longer trips. Top Speed In track testing, the non-hybrid 2026 Kia Sportage needed 9.1 seconds to reach 60 mph. Whereas the hybrid accomplished the sprint in just 7.4 seconds, demonstrating the performance advantage of the electrified powertrain. Interior Step inside the 2026 Kia Sportage and you'll immediately notice the attention to detail in the cabin design. The interior represents a significant upgrade in both materials and layout compared to previous generations. The base LX trim features Saturn Black woven cloth seating, while higher trims offer perforated SynTex synthetic leather in various color combinations. The SX trim introduces the option of Perforated and Quilted Carmine Red SynTex seats, adding a sporty, upscale touch to the cabin. The front seats provide excellent comfort with generous bolstering and available 10-way power adjustment for the driver. Heated and ventilated front seats are available on upper trims, along with a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats. One of the key selling points of the 2026 Kia Sportage is its exceptional space utilization. The cabin offers class-leading rear seat legroom, meaning even tall passengers can stretch out comfortably on long drives. Thoughtful interior details include hooks on the back of the front headrests for hanging bags or clothing, configurable cupholders, and ample small-item storage throughout the cabin. There’s also an available panoramic sunroof with power sunshade. Contrast stitching on seats and interior panels, stainless steel pedals, and matte satin door handles add subtle touches of refinement. Technology Technology takes center stage in the 2026 Sportage, with features that were once reserved for luxury vehicles now available across the lineup. The dual 12.3-inch display setup is now standard on all models, providing approximately 24 inches of combined screen real estate. On base trims, the driver gets a 12.3-inch LCD readout with an integrated 4.2-inch TFT instrument cluster display. Higher trims like the SX and SX-Prestige feature a fully curved 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster that seamlessly integrates with the 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Safety Features Safety is a priority in the 2026 Sportage, reflected in its 2025 IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus rating for vehicles built after May 2025. This recognition acknowledges the outstanding performance in crash protection and driver assistance systems. Notable update for this year is that Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Junction Turning Detection comes standard across the lineup. Available safety features include: Lane Keeping Assist Lane Following Assist Blind-Spot Collision Warning Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist Safe Exit Assist Smart Cruise Control Highway Driving Assist 2 Blind-Spot View Monitor Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist Surround View Monitor system Remote Parking Assist Price of the 2026 Kia Sportage The 2026 Kia Sportage lineup starts at a competitive price point that undercuts many rivals in the segment. The base LX model with front-wheel drive carries a starting MSRP of $28,690. This represents a modest increase of approximately 1,600 dollars over the previous model year. However, it includes significantly more standard equipment to justify the higher price point. You can expect the price of the 2026 Sportage to be between $28,000-$41,000. 2026 Sportage Price by Trim The base MSRPs for each trim listed below are estimates. We highly recommend that you visit your local Kia dealer in person to ensure 100% accurate prices for specific features. LX: $28,690 EX: $30,490 X-Line: $32,990 SX: $34,290 SX Prestige: $36,290 X-Pro Prestige: $39,590 Kia Warranty One of the most compelling reasons to choose a 2026 Kia Sportage is the brand's industry-leading warranty coverage.

The powertrain warranty extends coverage to an impressive 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
