Close 2026 Kia Carnival for Sale near Ames, IA
2026 Kia Carnival with available options shown above.
When a traditional SUV doesn’t quite satisfy your personal needs for a vehicle that you deem to be the epitome of comfort, we of Kia of Des Moines are willing to bet that your wishes will be granted by the 2026 Kia Carnival. Dubbed an MPV, or Multi-Purpose Vehicle, this model has been designed to cater to those who desire copious amounts of interior space as well as a plenty of seating accommodations. If these characteristics are highly appealing to you, we’d advise that you keep reading!
Interior
It’s not unusual for little ones to argue about who will have the privilege to sit in the front row during any given outing around Ames, though It’s not likely that will be the case in the Carnival. The first row hosts 41.1 inches of legroom, while the second row has optional heated and ventilated lounge seats1 with a comfort headrest and leg extensions. No longer will the third row be seen as a penalty box if you purchase this model, as it can comfortably accommodate most adults thanks to 35.6 inches of legroom. Leather seats are optional but highly recommended if you’ll be spending hours of time cruising through Monarch Highway, and it’s also worth mentioning that these appointments come in Off-Black, Deep Navy/Misty Gray, and Off-Black/Tuscan Umber color variations.
Performance
The 2026 Kia Carnival has multiple features that make it not only a smooth operator, but also give it plenty of advantages on road trips. 3,500-lb. maximum towing capacity2 helps substantially with hauling, which is enough to carry a lightweight camper along for the ride. Its standard Eco Drive Mode optimizes your fuel economy for long journeys by adjusting aspects like the climate control and engine acceleration, resulting in less unnecessary time consumption at gas stations scattered throughout the route. It will also smoothen the output generated by a standard 3.5L V6 engine that makes 287 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. Preparing the chassis for any roads that are long overdue for a repavement are the standard independent Mac Pherson front suspension and a multi-link rear system, resulting in a more confident approach when traveling to locations unknown.
Advancements
You wouldn’t want to begin a drive to Reiman Gardens with your family by having them shiver or sweat for the first few minutes of the adventure. Before you head there, use the Pre-Cooling and Heating feature through Kia Access App3 to moderate the cabin’s temperature so that everyone is able to enter the Carnival’s interior with a sigh of relief. If someone states that their smartphone recently flashed a low power warning notification, place it on the available wireless phone charger4 to see those battery percentages quickly climb up. In the event that they’d like to keep using the mobile device to watch a show or movie, there are luckily two USB-C charging ports located in every row of the cabin as a standard feature. For better visibility and more comfortable viewing angles, your children can always turn to the optional 14.6-inch dual-screen rear entertainment system to play their content instead. Schedule a test drive with us to see their sharp display quality in person!

Testimonials
“ Highly reccomend!!! No pressure at all from Gus our salesperson. He explained everything thoroughly about the vehicles that we test drove. He listened to our questions, and provided a mini van (that doesnt look like a mini van) that addressed our needs. I would buy from this dealership in a heartbeat again!!!! ”
“ Excellent service. Love my new K4 ”
“ Kaitlyn was very kind, patient, and helpful. She took the time to address my issue and made the process easy and stress-free. Excellent customer service! ”
“ This was my first experience at a dealership and everyone was so sweet and patient, I highly recommend going here for your dream car! ”
“ Was very pleased Joe took very good care of us when we were shopping and was able to make the purchase smooth. ”
“ Great sales team at KIA of Des Moines ”
“ Got my second Kia this week and couldn’t be happier! Bought my Forte in 2019 new and just traded it in for a 2026 Sportage. Bill Stone and the whole team was great to work with. Can’t recommend enough! ”
“ I had a great experience buying my new 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid! It was my first car buying experience since my father passed 1.5 years ago; JR and Phil took time to answer my questions and listen to my thoughts and concerns. Aaron made the signing papers fun and easy. Jacob made sure I could drive away comfortable with the important features. Together they made a great team and I will be sure to be getting it serviced there too. Best and easiest car buying experience ever! ”
“ Very efficient very respectful. Had the car and paperwork ready for us. ”
“ We just purchased a new 2027 Telluride hybrid SX procedure we ordered it from Jeff. It came in two weeks before he said it would which was nice. We went through the process of paying for it and then They showed us everything we needed to know on to have very thoroughly. It’s a good place to do business. I’m saying this with some experience I bought over 40 new cars in my lifetime and this is one of the better processes. ”
“ We bought a 2027 Kia Telluride from Antonio and enjoyed the experience all the way through. He was very friendly and easy to deal with. They also did a nice job of walking us through the features of the vehicle. Everything was done and ready in a timely manner which was much appreciated! Thank you Kia of Des Moines. ”
“ Great experience. Zak was very informative and helpful. ”
“ Best car buying experience by far. Everyone was so helpful and made it super simple and fun! ”
“ Customer service was excellent. Shout out to, Gus! The gal in the service department was also excellent at explaining all the features to us as well! Overall great experience! ”
“ The salesman was very kind and courteous! He showed all options on the car. Gave us a good deal! ”
“ Had a great experience. They treated me with great professionalism and deliver of the car was in a timely matter. ”
“ We had a great experience getting into a lease with Kia of Des Moines. We were in and out quickly, had our paperwork done promptly, and everything explained to us. More importantly we got into a payment we could afford that was better than the competition. We considered Toyota and Ford. Toyota has struggled with inventory that fit our needs, and Ford has stopped producing Sedans. Regardless, we are pleased with Kia. ”
“ I recently purchased a 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid from Kia of Des Moines. I test drove the vehicle and obtained a quote for my current vehicle trade-in and within an hour we made a deal. It was a smooth process and there was no pressure from the salesman Jeff Davis. I didn't have a check or my current vehicle title with me, so they allowed me to make a wire transfer from my bank and I drove my new vehicle home that day. I returned the following day with the title for my old vehicle. It was a great experience not only with the sales staff, but also with Jim Voss in finance and with Jacob Kline in delivery who set up my new vehicle. I appreciated the fact that no one pushed an extended warranty program which a lot of dealers do these days. Kia already has an awesome warranty program. ”
“ Great place to buy a car. From start to finish, the KIA team provides excellent service! ”
“ Very professional and friendly service ”
“ We recently bought a new Telluride from them, and we enjoyed the experience. It was our first time buying a new car and they were very patient with us and weren't pushy at all. They didn't try any tricks with us and are very satisfied. We enjoyed our process working with them. ”
“ We came in and looked at a few cars, we were very happy with are sales rep and also the financial department. The gal that went over our new car and showed us stuff was great as well. This is our 3rd kia and we love it each time. Thank you again for the great service. ”
“ JR was very helpful in helping me make the right decisions!! I love my new car! ”
“ Best car purchase experience ever!!!! Joe made the process very easy and stress free. ”
“ Fantastic experience. Knowledgeable and quick. ”
“ Had a great experience at Kia of Des Moines buying my 2026 K4 GT-Line Premium. My salesman JR was good, honest, and patient through the whole process. He worked hard to get me the right car at the right price and rate, and treated me with respect. It was month-end and the dealership was really busy, so we didn’t get to take the traditional photo with the flower on top of the car. But that’s all good and totally understandable. Before we left, one of the managers came over, shook my hand, and thanked us for our business. That kind of personal touch meant a lot, especially on such a hectic day. JR and the whole team at Kia of Des Moines were professional from start to finish. If you’re in Des Moines looking for a Kia, ask for JR. Highly recommend! ”
“ I purchased a new Kia K5 GT Line from Kia of Des Moines after my daughter’s 2023 Kia K5 was rear ended by an uninsured motorist. I’ve purchased many vehicles in my lifetime and I have to say this was the easiest and unpressured car buying experience I’ve ever had. Thank You to Kia of Des Moines staff and or salesman JR. Best Always, Jeff ”
“ Excellent attention from the Kia staff and I recommend Bob Mercer's attention; he will take care of you very well ”
“ Excellent attention from the Kia staff and I recommend Bob Mercer's attention; he will take care of you very well ”
“ I had one of the best experiences at Kia. Zack was so helpful and attentive. He listened to what I was looking for and showed me every option that I had available to me. I have never had a car salesman work as hard as he did. He provided top notch customer service. But it didn’t end there. Signing the financial paperwork was quick and seamless. Also, the tutorial that I received at the end of the purchase was also a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend Kia of Des Moines if anyone is looking for a great vehicle and even better customer service. ”
“ Quick and easy. Fast quality service. Felt everything was transparent and helpful. ”
“ The salesman and other staff were attentive and worked with my wife and I to get not one, but two new vehicles at a price we could afford! The salesman went the extra mile literally as he had to pull several vehicles to look at until we found the one that had everything we were looking for. Definitely recommend Kia of Des Moines. ”
“ Great experience, in and out in 30 minutes! ”
