We’d suggest
Carnival Hybrid
There’s One Way to Get Rear Seat Entertainment
Kia narrowed its most-wanted comfort feature down to a single configuration for 2027 — and this is it.
Exclusive for 2027
Rear Seat Entertainment
Only offered on the SX Prestige, and only when paired with VIP Lounge Seats. It’s off the table now for SX (Dark Edition) and for every gas Carnival trim.
Comfort
VIP Lounge Seats
Power-adjustable lounge chairs with heating and ventilation, a comfort headrest, extendable leg rests, and a one-touch relax mode — a 7-passenger layout that feels more like first class.
Materials
Leather Throughout
Real leather takes the place of SynTex across every seat, included standard on SX Prestige.
Audio & Display
Bose Premium Audio + Head-Up Display
A 12-speaker Bose sound system and a windshield-projected Head-Up Display pair with dual 12.3-inch panoramic screens — a comfortable setup for the long stretch along US-49 or I-59.

SX Prestige Makes Sense If…
Your family cares about Rear Seat Entertainment, leather trim, Bose sound, or VIP Lounge Seats — the roughly $5,000 premium over SX gets you the full flagship package, including the one feature nothing else in the lineup offers.
Consider SX If…
Dual sunroofs and a digital gauge cluster are enough for you, and you’d rather skip the flagship price for everyday driving around Hattiesburg since Rear Seat Entertainment isn’t a must-have.

Carnival Hybrid SX Prestige FAQs
How Much Does the 2027 Carnival Hybrid SX Prestige Cost?⌄
Kia has confirmed $53,590 MSRP for the 2027 Carnival Hybrid SX Prestige, before a $1,545 destination charge and roughly $100 above the 2026 price. Check current SX Prestige inventory for today’s number with offers applied.
Is the SX Prestige the Only Carnival With Rear Seat Entertainment?⌄
It is — starting with MY2027, Rear Seat Entertainment (offered alongside VIP Lounge Seats) belongs solely to this Hybrid SX Prestige. It’s no longer available on the SX Dark Edition, and no gas Carnival trim offers it either.
What Does SX Prestige Add Over the SX?⌄
Full leather seating, a 12-speaker Bose premium sound system, a Head-Up Display, wireless phone connectivity, a heated steering wheel, HomeLink garage-door integration, and the available VIP Lounge Seats that unlock exclusive Rear Seat Entertainment.
What Are VIP Lounge Seats?⌄
An available upgrade for row two that replaces the center seat with two airplane-style recliners featuring power adjustment, extendable leg rests, and heating/ventilation — and for 2027, they’re the only route to Rear Seat Entertainment anywhere in the Carnival family. Compare all trims.
