2027 Kia Carnival for Sale in Fayetteville, AR

The 2027 Kia Carnival in Fayetteville, AR, takes the practicality of a minivan and wraps it in styling that looks more like an SUV. A standard 287-hp V6 powers every trim, and seating for up to eight passengers means there's room for the whole crew.

A 2027 Carnival Hybrid rounds out the new lineup, too, offering a more efficient powertrain in the same body style.

Crain Kia of Fayetteville has the all-new 2027 Carnival on the lot now.
