New Kia Carnival for Sale in Rockwall, TX
The 2026 Kia Carnival redefines what a modern family vehicle can be, blending the spacious practicality of an MPV with the sleek styling cues of an SUV. It offers comfort, flexibility, and advanced features that make every trip a little more enjoyable, whether you're running daily errands around town or embarking on a long-distance getaway. Now available at Rockwall Kia, the Carnival brings a distinctive mix of utility and sophistication to drivers seeking more from their three-row vehicle.
Performance
Under the hood, the Carnival features a standard 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 290 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Mated to a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission, the powertrain delivers confident acceleration and refined highway manners. Despite its size, the Carnival's carefully tuned suspension and steering help ensure a comfortable, well-balanced ride.
Interior and Practicality
Inside the Kia Carnival, you'll find one of the most spacious and thoughtfully designed cabins in its class. With 168.2 cubic feet of passenger volume, the 2026 Carnival gives every occupant plenty of room to stretch out. Available on trims from LXS upward, the Slide-Flex seating system adds versatility to the second row, allowing the middle seat to slide forward for easier access to a child seat or transform into a table complete with built-in cupholders.
Convenience is front and center thanks to attributes like Smart Power Sliding Doors and a Smart Power Tailgate, both designed to make loading and unloading easier when your hands are full. Cargo space is another highlight, as the Carnival offers 40.2 cubic feet behind the third row, 87 cubic feet behind the second row, and an expansive 145.1 cubic feet with all rear seats folded flat.
Technology
The 2026 Carnival comes well-equipped with advanced technology that keeps drivers and passengers connected. A 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ is standard, providing seamless access to apps, music, and navigation tools. Upper trims such as the SX and SX Prestige expand the experience with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, creating a modern, fully integrated digital cockpit.
Additional family-focused tech features are available throughout the lineup, including a Passenger View interior camera with night vision, a Passenger Talk intercom system, and a dual-screen Rear Seat Entertainment System to keep kids entertained on long drives. While nothing can replace alert driving, the Kia Carnival has your back with an extensive roster of Kia Drive Wise assistive technologies. All models come standard with driver aids like:
