Legroom measures 41.1 inches in the first row, 40.5 in the second and 35.6 in the third, which is what lets adults ride in the third row rather than just children. Headroom runs 40.9, 39.5 and 38.6 inches by row on trims without the sunroof.

Configuration depends on trim. The LX seats seven with second-row captain's chairs standard, while the LXS, EX, SX and SX Prestige seat eight on a Slide-Flex bench. For 2027 Kia newly offers captain's chairs on the gas EX and SX, and the SX Prestige can be equipped with power VIP Lounge Seats that recline with a one-touch relaxation mode, extend at the leg and add three-stage heating and three-level ventilation.

Heated front seats are standard from the LXS up, and ventilated front seats arrive on the SX and SX Prestige. Seat materials climb from two-tone cloth on the LX through several SynTex combinations on the LXS, EX and SX to leather on the SX Prestige, in Off-Black, Tuscan Umber or a Deep Navy and Misty Gray pairing.

The EX and above add the family-minded features that make a three-row cabin manageable: a Passenger View in-cabin camera that puts the back two rows on the center screen, a Passenger Talk intercom so you can speak to the third row without raising your voice, Quiet Mode and rear-seat voice recognition. Dual sunroofs come on the SX and SX Prestige.

Every trim gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, SiriusXM and over-the-air updates. Six USB-C charging ports are spread two per row, so nobody in the third row is hunting for a cable.

The instrument panel is where trims separate: the LX, LXS and EX use a 4.2-inch display, while the SX and SX Prestige carry a 12.3-inch curved instrument display that pairs with the touchscreen into what Kia calls its dual panoramic display. Audio steps from six speakers on the LX and LXS to eight on the EX and SX, with Bose Premium Audio standard on the SX Prestige alongside an 11-inch head-up display.
