The 2026 Kia Carnival’s VIP Lounge Seating transforms routine family drives into premium travel experiences. Available on the SX+ trim, this feature replaces the second-row bench with two fully powered captain’s chairs, each offering heated and cooled surfaces, extendable leg rests, and a one-touch Relaxation Mode that automatically adjusts to a near-reclined position. Whether navigating Highway 7 traffic or heading north on Highway 400 to cottage country, passengers enjoy first-class comfort without sacrificing safety or functionality.
Families in Richmond Hill and across the GTA will notice a clear upgrade in convenience and comfort. The wide centre aisle enhances third-row accessibility, while tri-zone climate controls and built-in sunshades create a calm, personalized atmosphere for every trip. Integrated seamlessly into the Carnival’s electrical system, the VIP Lounge Seating retains all safety certifications while elevating every journey.
- Activate the Relaxation Mode to initiate full-body recline and leg support at the press of a button
- Use heating and cooling functions to maintain passenger comfort throughout Ontario’s seasonal extremes
- Adjust each captain’s chair independently to eliminate seating conflicts during long trips
- Maintain the seats regularly by cleaning leather surfaces monthly and testing electronic functions seasonally
- Leverage surrounding features like rear HVAC controls, sunshades, and 110V power outlets for full passenger comfort
Second-row comfort is no longer an afterthought. The VIP Lounge Seating system responds directly to the needs of modern families in Ontario, offering real comfort on long drives, daily commutes, and everything in between.
