The 2026 Carnival arrives with a bold message—it's possible to move the whole family in style without giving up on comfort, space, or personality. It looks more like a premium SUV than a typical minivan, but inside, it delivers everything you'd expect from a versatile people mover. From its elegant design to its spacious interior and tech-packed cabin, the latest model is designed for more than just the school run. It's ready for family life in all its forms.
At first glance, you might not believe this is a minivan. The 2026 model boasts clean lines, a confident stance, and a redesigned front end that exudes a fresh and upscale feel. The LED headlights and refined grille give it a commanding presence on the road, while the available wheel options and premium paint choices let you customize the look to fit your taste. It's a design that invites second glances, even when it's parked in the driveway.
Inside, the Carnival balances comfort and flexibility in all the right ways. Seating is generous, with available configurations for up to eight passengers. The second row can be upgraded to include VIP lounge-style seats or kept practical with a three-seat bench. No matter which setup you choose, there’s plenty of legroom for passengers in every row. The third-row seats easily fold into the floor, creating a wide, flat space for hauling everything from hockey bags to camping gear.
The total cargo capacity of up to 4,110 litres is impressive, especially when both rear rows are down. There's also under-floor storage to keep things organized. This is a vehicle designed for individuals who live on the go and require a space that adapts effortlessly.
The dashboard layout feels clean and modern, with a focus on usability. A standard 12.3-inch touchscreen keeps things simple and connected, supporting both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Higher trims offer larger screens and an available dual-display setup that includes a digital gauge cluster. In the back, optional entertainment screens, multiple USB charging points, and a rear cabin intercom system make life easier, especially on longer drives.
Parents will appreciate the rearview passenger camera that allows you to check on the kids without turning around. It's these small, thoughtful details that demonstrate how well this vehicle caters to modern families.
Under the hood, the Carnival is powered by a 3.5-litre V6 engine that produces 288 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. It's a smooth, capable performer, whether you're driving around city or heading out on a highway adventure. Even with a full cabin, the vehicle handles with confidence and ease. It's comfortable, quiet, and built to make every journey feel less like a chore and more like an escape.
Advanced safety tools come standard, including Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, and Blind Spot Monitoring. The Carnival is always thinking ahead, helping you stay alert and in control without interrupting the drive. It's one more reason families can count on this vehicle for the long haul.
