Choose LXS If…
Upgraded, heated seating and the choice of 8-passenger flexibility appeal to you, but you don’t need EX-level tech.
Choose LX or EX Instead If…
The lowest sticker price wins you over (LX), or you’d rather have a hands-free power liftgate plus the new available Captain’s Chairs for 2027 (EX).

Carnival LXS FAQs
How Much Does the 2027 Kia Carnival LXS Cost?⌄
Figure on $39,490 MSRP to start, before the $1,545 destination fee — that’s $2,000 more than the LX and about $100 above the 2026 model year. Check live LXS inventory to see today’s actual transaction price once current offers are applied.
What Does the LXS Add Over the LX?⌄
You gain SynTex seating, heated front seats, and the option of an 8-passenger Slide-Flex 2nd row — sliding, removable middle seats in place of the LX’s fixed bench.
Is There Anything New on the LXS for 2027?⌄
Not really — LXS is largely a carryover trim for 2027 apart from that roughly $100 price bump. If you want the new Captain’s Chairs or Dark Edition Package, those live on the EX trim and above.
