The 2027 model year brings notable ergonomic improvements, headlined by the availability of second-row Captain's Chairs for the EX and SX trims. These additions are designed to improve passenger access and comfort, particularly for those navigating between the second and third rows. Kia is also expanding its Dark Edition Package to include the EX trim, while introducing Iceberg Green as a fresh exterior paint choice to replace the outgoing Flare Red.

Technological integration remains a core focus of the new release. All models now feature a standard 12.3-inch navigation system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. For higher-tier buyers, the Hybrid SX Prestige now serves as the exclusive home for the rear-seat entertainment system, paired with the model's signature VIP Lounge Seats. Pricing for the hybrid variants begins at $41,490 for the HEV LXS, scaling up to $53,590 for the top-spec HEV SX Prestige.
