FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Gasoline trims (LX through SX Prestige) use a 3.5L V-6 with 287 hp and an 8-speed automatic, returning 21 mpg combined. Hybrid trims (LXS Hybrid through SX Prestige Hybrid) swap in a turbocharged 1.6L four-cylinder paired with an electric motor for 242 hp but a much more efficient 33 mpg combined — a 57% improvement in city driving alone. If you do a lot of stop-and-go miles, the hybrid's 34 mpg city rating is where the fuel savings really add up.

The LXS at $39,490 is the sweet spot for most buyers — it adds the eighth seat that the LX lacks and costs $2,000 less than the EX while sharing the same V-6 powertrain. If fuel costs matter more than features, the LXS Hybrid at $41,490 is only $2,000 more than the LXS and delivers 33 mpg combined versus 21 mpg, a gap that pays back quickly for high-mileage families.

Almost every trim seats 8, but the base LX is the exception at 7 passengers. If a full eight-seat configuration is important, step up to the LXS or any trim above it.

No — every Carnival configuration is front-wheel drive only, across both gasoline and hybrid powertrains.

Every trim in the lineup offers 145.1 cu ft of total cargo volume, which is consistent whether you choose a gasoline or hybrid model.

The hybrid's turbocharged 1.6L four-cylinder produces 242 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque, while the V-6 makes 287 hp but only 260 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid actually has more torque, which is what you feel most in everyday acceleration, so it won't feel sluggish despite the smaller displacement.
