Available options like front fog lamps and an aerodynamic lip spoiler boost both style and performance.

Step Inside the Carnival, discover a well-designed cabin focusing on comfort and convenience. Seating for seven or eight varies by configuration, offering ample space for families. Interior features differ by trim, from durable cloth seats in LX to premium artificial leather in EX and SX, with pure leather in the SX Prestige. Higher trims add heated, ventilated front seats with power adjustment and lumbar support. The cabin features quality materials, including simulated wood panel inserts and piano-black accents.
The 2026 Carnival offers five distinct trim levels to suit various needs and budgets. The LX serves as the entry-level model with essential features, while the LXS adds artificial-leather seats and a leather steering wheel.
