Carnival Hybrid SX
A meaningful comfort step up: dual sunroofs, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, and Surround View / Blind-Spot View monitors, plus a new-for-2027 available Captain’s Chairs option. One honest change worth knowing: SX no longer offers Rear Seat Entertainment for 2027 — that feature has moved exclusively to the SX Prestige.
Answer three questions. We’ll point you to your Carnival Hybrid.
Premium Comfort — With One Honest Change
SX adds real tech and comfort over EX. We’re also flagging a feature it loses for 2027, not just what it gains.
Dual Sunroofs
Sunroofs over both rows for a brighter, more open cabin on road trips.
12.3" Digital Instrument Cluster
A fully digital gauge cluster to match the center touchscreen — a genuine step up in perceived quality.
Captain’s Chairs Available
Available 2nd-row Captain’s Chairs join the option list for the first time on SX.
No More Rear Seat Entertainment
Through MY2026, SX could add Rear Seat Entertainment via the Dark Edition package. That option is gone for 2027 — RSE is now exclusive to the SX Prestige.
The SX Cabin
Premium tech and comfort, one step below the flagship.
