Carnival Hybrid
More Comfort — Plus One Thing to Know
SX brings genuine tech and comfort gains over EX. We’re not just listing what it adds; we’re also being upfront about what it lost for 2027.
Comfort
Dual Sunroofs
Glass above both rows opens the cabin up and lets in more light on longer drives.
Technology
12.3" Digital Instrument Cluster
A fully digital gauge display now matches the center touchscreen — a noticeable upgrade in look and feel.
New for 2027
Captain’s Chairs Available
For the first time, SX buyers can add available 2nd-row Captain’s Chairs to their build.
⚠ Removed for 2027
No More Rear Seat Entertainment
Up through MY2026, the Dark Edition package let SX buyers add Rear Seat Entertainment. That path is closed for 2027 — RSE now lives only on the SX Prestige, so ask our Hattiesburg team if that matters to you.
