The 2027 Kia Carnival combines a flexible three-row cabin with the road manners of a crossover. Its standard 3.5-liter V6 produces 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft through an eight-speed automatic, while the hybrid pairs a 1.6-liter turbo four with electric assistance for 242 horsepower and 271 lb-ft through a six-speed automatic. Both use front-wheel drive. Representative ratings are 18/26 mpg for the V6 and 34/31 mpg for the hybrid. A 121.7-inch wheelbase supports generous passenger and cargo room, while available lounge-style second-row seating and dual panoramic displays reinforce Carnival’s family-focused mission.

The all-new 2027 Kia EV3 is a compact electric SUV offered with two battery sizes and front- or all-wheel drive. Light FWD uses the smaller pack and delivers 201 horsepower with a 221-mile EPA range. Long-range Wind and Land FWD retain 201 horsepower while extending range to 321 miles. Their all-wheel-drive versions produce 261 horsepower with 280 miles of range, while GT raises output to 288 horsepower and 345 lb-ft. All versions use a single-speed drive unit. A 105.5-inch wheelbase supports a practical five-passenger cabin, and the four groups preserve the meaningful battery, driven-axle and performance differences.

The Kia EV6 features a spacious five-passenger interior and a choice of several rear- or all-wheel-drive powertrains. EV6 received a styling update last year that included a new headlamp design, a reworked front bumper, new wheel designs, and tweaks to the full-width taillamp. Interior upgrades included an updated panoramic infotainment system display, a new steering wheel, and a redesigned wireless charging pad. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are standard and a fingerprint-authentication system is available. EV6 can deliver 320 miles of all-electric range with the larger battery pack. No changes are expected for 2026.

The 2026 all-electric three-row KIA EV9 is offered in 6-passenger and 7-passenger seating configurations. At the front of EV9 is the Tiger Face, a reinterpretation of the Kia “Tiger Nose” grille that highlights depth and dimensionality, flanked by slim LED headlights. Inside, the dual-display cockpit features full digital instrumentation and multiple camera feeds. An available second-row boasts power-adjustable seats with leg extensions, heating and ventilation. EV9 features Kia’s next-generation, ultramodern Connected Car Navigation Cockpit operating system. A new Nightfall Edition package is available on the Land AWD trim.

The 2027 Kia K5 keeps its sleek midsize-sedan shape and separates into two meaningful powertrain groups. LXS, EX and GT-Line use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder producing 186 horsepower and 178 lb-ft through an eight-speed automatic; front-wheel drive is standard and GT-Line offers all-wheel drive. The performance-focused GT adds a turbocharger for 290 horsepower and 311 lb-ft through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Representative front-drive ratings are 26/37 mpg for the standard engine and 23/33 mpg for GT. A 112.2-inch wheelbase supports a roomy cabin, and styling packages remain within their engine group.

The refreshed 2027 Kia Niro is represented by its hybrid-electric powertrain. A 1.6-liter four-cylinder and electric motor produce 139 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque through a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, with front-wheel drive across the range. The efficient 16-inch-wheel configuration supplies the representative 53/46-mpg rating used here, while touring equipment changes wheels and amenities rather than the core powertrain. A 107.1-inch wheelbase supports a practical five-passenger cabin and useful cargo area. The 2027 U.S. Safety is standard. Useful storage supports everyday errands.

The all-new 2027 Kia Seltos separates into two gasoline powertrains. Most trims use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft through an intelligent continuously variable transmission, with front- or all-wheel drive. The available 1.6-liter turbo four raises output to 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft through an eight-speed automatic and is paired with all-wheel drive. Representative ratings are 28/33 mpg for the front-drive 2.0-liter and 24/30 mpg for the turbo. A longer 105.9-inch wheelbase improves passenger room, while trim equipment and appearance packages remain inside their mechanical group.

The 2026 Kia Sorento offers gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid models in various trim levels. The HEV and PHEV models feature a host of exterior enhancements, including a new X-Line trim featuring glossy black wheels, front air intake, roof rails, and a radiator grille surround for a cleaner, bolder look. A new Terrain Mode comes standard on PHEV trims and AWD-equipped trims. All models get a new leather-trimmed steering wheel design. A panoramic curved display features Kia’s Connected Car Navigation Cockpit system making it possible to receive over-the-air updates. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are standard.

The 2027 Kia Sportage family retains three distinct powertrains. The gasoline model uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft through an eight-speed automatic. Sportage Hybrid pairs a 1.6-liter turbo four with electric assistance for 232 horsepower and 271 lb-ft through a six-speed automatic. The plug-in hybrid raises combined output to 268 horsepower and carries an 83-MPGe rating with all-wheel drive. Representative gasoline and hybrid ratings use the more efficient front-drive configurations at 25/33 and 40/42 mpg. Safety is standard. Useful storage supports everyday errands.

The redesigned 2027 Kia Telluride grows into a roomier three-row SUV and adds its first hybrid powertrain. The standard 2.5-liter turbo four produces 274 horsepower and 311 lb-ft through an eight-speed automatic. Telluride Hybrid combines a 2.5-liter turbo four with electric assistance for 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft through a six-speed automatic. Both offer front- or all-wheel drive. Representative front-drive ratings are 20/26 mpg for gasoline and 34/36 mpg for hybrid. A 116.9-inch wheelbase supports the expanded cabin, while X-Line, X-Pro and luxury packages remain equipment variants inside the two mechanical groups.
