New York 2014: 2015 Kia Sedona Live Shots
The 2015 Kia Sedona quietly made its public debut at the 2014 New York Auto Show, ready to take up to eight passengers to the nearest Trader Joe’s after soccer practice.
Behind the tiger nose, Kia dropped in a 3.3-liter V6 pushing 276 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels through a six-speed automatic.
Inside, up eight passengers can pile in depending on configuration, with third-row riders receiving 34.8 inches of legroom, second-row gaining 41.1 inches, and the parents enjoying 43.1 inches up front. Access to the third row is enabled by the Sedona’s Slide-n-Stow system in the second row, which also allows for increased storage room if needed.
Other features include auto-opening tailgate, surround-view monitoring, electronic stability control and ABS.

It’s also worth noting that most insurance plans have glass replacement options that can make the repair a low- or zero-cost issue.

- AMcA My theory is that that when the Big 3 gave away the store to the UAW in the last contract, there was a side deal in which the UAW promised to go after the non-organized transplant plants. Even the UAW understands that if the wage differential gets too high it's gonna kill the golden goose.

Bullnuke Honda didn't make an LX coupe in 1998. The only trim levels for the coupe were DX, HX and EX
For the money and overall longevity. This is the only option outside a Chrysler or Dodge mini van. And this Kia looks pretty damn good for a mini van.
