EPA estimates put the Carnival Hybrid at 34 city / 31 highway / 33 combined MPG — a notable step up in city driving over the gas V6’s 18/25/21, courtesy of the hybrid system’s electric-assist stop-and-go efficiency.

Properly equipped, it’s rated by Kia at 2,500 pounds — below the gas Carnival’s 3,500-pound rating, since the hybrid system gives up some towing capacity in exchange for efficiency.

You can get Rear Seat Entertainment on the SX Prestige by adding VIP Lounge Seats, or on the SX by adding the Dark Edition package — it isn’t offered across the whole lineup.

No, and we’d rather tell you straight than gloss over it. The Carnival Hybrid uses the same body structure as the gas Carnival, and no minivan — the Carnival included — made IIHS’s 2026 Top Safety Pick list; the whole segment showed elevated head/neck and chest injury risk for the rear-seat dummy in the updated moderate overlap front test.

You’ll find Dean McCrary Kia at 7124 US Hwy 98, carrying the full Carnival Hybrid lineup right where I-59, US-49, US-98, and US-11 converge in Hattiesburg — a short drive from Petal, Oak Grove, Purvis, and Columbia. Every new Carnival Hybrid we sell comes with upfront pricing and factory warranty included.
