What is the 2027 Kia Carnival EX?

The third-cheapest of the Carnival's five trims in our data. Current manufacturer excludes $1,545 , paint, taxes, registration, and dealer charges. The EX starts at $41,690 as a gasoline. On price, it sits between the LXS ($39,490) and the SX ($46,590).

Our Carnival data has all five 2027 U.S. gas and four trims, , the eighteen current builder factory MSC configurations and the listed factory . It doesn't have 2026 , non-U.S. variants, paint/interior-color combinations, port/dealer accessories and gas rear-entertainment configurations absent from the current builder yet, so something missing from this page may still be offered.

About these comparisons

Each illustration and link uses the build behind its number. Comparisons cover the model years and bodies in our guides. Different rows can use different trims and equipment. Missing values aren’t treated as zero; reported prices and inferred ratings aren’t ranked.

  • Highest published output found in each guide. This compares available power, not acceleration or the trim you selected.
  • Best published combined rating found in each guide, including regular hybrids. Plug-in ratings and inferred matches are excluded.
