Kia said on the 15th that it released the refreshed model of the Carnival Hi-Limousine, "The 2026 Carnival Hi-Limousine."
The 2026 Carnival Hi-Limousine features enhanced convenience equipment for a more upscale feel and adds a new trim. It comes with the latest graphical user interface themed on the next-generation infotainment system (ccNC), and Bose (BOSE) premium sound is offered as an option.
Kia said it created an upscale atmosphere with premium car mats featuring a stripe pattern and pleated curtains attached to the rear glass. It also added a memory function to the ambient lights so that user settings are retained even when the ignition is turned off.
Kia is offering the new Carnival Hi-Limousine with two powertrains: "3.5 gasoline" and "1.6 turbo hybrid." An entry trim, "nine-seat Noblesse," has been added to the gasoline model. The 3.5 gasoline nine-seater is 63.27–68.91 million won, and the four-seater is 93.3 million won. The 1.6 turbo hybrid nine-seater is 67.82–73.34 million won, and the four-seater is 97.8 million won.
A Kia official said, "We strengthened product value by actively reflecting customer feedback and boosted competitiveness by adding the Noblesse trim to the 3.5 gasoline model," adding, "As Korea's representative premium limousine, it will offer differentiated value to both families and corporate customers."
