2026 Kia Carnival price and specs
The Kia Carnival lineup has been expanded, with its hybrid powertrain now available in two additional model grades.
This gives the Carnival Hybrid range a base price more than $20,000 lower than before.
There are still five trim levels starting with the Carnival S, Sport, Sport+, GT-Line Lite, and highest-spec GT-Line all subject to a $420 price rise for model year 2026 (MY26).
Otherwise, the Carnival is unchanged for MY26.

The petrol and diesel engines are available across all five grades, while the hybrid powertrain – previously offered only as a GT-Line – is now also available in S and Sport+ grades.
The Carnival is Australia's best-selling people mover by a huge margin, and features eight seats across three rows.
The second row is 'reversible' – meaning it can face rearwards – and has slide and recline functions. It also has a sliding 'Walk-in' feature enabling easier access to the third row's 60/40-split seat.
Every Carnival has five top-tether and five ISOFIX seat-mounting points.
There are USB chargers for the first two rows, air-conditioning vents for all three rows, and nine cupholders across the interior.
All prices exclude on-road costs.
Across the five grades, the Carnival is offered in a choice of petrol, petrol hybrid and diesel-powered versions – with the hybrid previously exclusive to the flagship GT-Line now also offered in the S and S+ grades.
All Kia Carnivals have a seven-year, unlimited kilometre warranty with seven years of capped-price servicing and up to eight years of roadside assistance.
Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km on petrol and diesel Carnival, with servicing for hybrid versions every 12 months or 10,000km.
The hybrid model has a seven-year, 150,000km warranty for defects in its high-voltage system, including the battery.
The Kia Carnival has a five-star ANCAP rating based on testing conducted in 2021, and features driver and front passenger airbags, a driver's knee airbag, front-row side airbags, as well as curtain airbags covering the first, second and third rows.
Kia Connect telematics – which includes a smartphone app to check items such as fuel level and remote door locking – is standard, with an 'eCall' button to summon emergency services.
