2027 Kia Carnival Service and Repair Manual

For 2027, Kia makes second-row captain's chairs available on the Carnival EX and SX and extends the Dark Edition package to the EX, while the mechanical package stays put: a 3.5-liter V6 on all five trims from LX to SX Prestige, and a 242-horsepower turbocharged 1.6-liter hybrid from the LXS upward. Seat hardware and trim content change from year to year even when engines do not, so this factory service and repair manual gives the 2027-specific procedures, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules rather than figures carried over from an earlier van.

Known issues on the 2027 Carnival. No recalls are on federal record for this model year, and no owner complaints have been logged with NHTSA so far. Should a campaign be issued later, the factory diagnostic, repair and maintenance procedures for every system on the van are already in this service and repair manual.
