Kia Sedona

Kia’s latest Sedona is completely new and offers increased sophistication and comfort while giving buyers strong value for money. Already well respected in the MPV sector, Kia is pushing to broaden its market even further with this Sedona. The Sedona has been vastly improved in all areas and modernized so that it can compete with rival brands. The Sedona seats seven people comfortably. The exterior style has been improved and boasts sharper lines and has an overall more attractive exterior design. The car’s twin sliding doors have been well designed to compliment the shape of the vehicle.

The Kia Sedona offers several improved engines choices, there is a 2.9-litre 182bhp diesel engine now with second-generation common-rail injection and a variable geometry turbocharger which enhances performance while preserving the 36.2mpg combined economy of its predecessor. The 2.7-litre 186bhp V6 petrol engine has gained 40bhp over the previous 2.5-litre engine. Its combined fuel consumption is 26.4mpg compared with 25.7 previously, despite considerably improved performance. The first thing that you will notice when driving the Sedona is its high driving position which gives you a commanding view of the road ahead. The ride is very relaxed and copes well on all road surfaces; the 2.9-litre diesel engine delivers impressive acceleration and comfortable cruising. The Sedona has truly been enhanced from the inside out.

The Sedona has been designed for passenger comfort, inside the cabin it’s very spacious and provides adequate passenger space for seven. Access to the Sedona is excellent for all passengers’ front, rear, or for passengers accessing the very back seats. Front seat occupants can slide easily in through the vehicle’s front doors, while those in the second row step in through the wide opening sliding doors. Rear seat occupants must first fold the second row seat to gain access, but this is simple and not problematic. Head and legroom are very good and each seat has the ability to slide forward or back and the ability to recline maximizing individual comfort even more. The five rear seats can be folded down or removed in order to increase cargo carrying capacity. Air conditioning controls in the rear ensure good all around comfort. The Kia Sedona has a good image based on the company’s dedication to providing car buyers excellent value for money, with quality and style becoming much more apparent.
