Default 2006 Kia Sedona - maybe sorta kinda up with Odyssey & Sienna?



Kia's Sedona minivan will be renovated for the 2006 model year, and will spawn a Hyundai version as well. At the Chicago show today, Kia will show off the new Sedona, which grows to meet the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna in exterior size. The new platform sports an all-independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock control, and a new 3.8-liter V-6. Power-adjustable pedals, side doors, and liftgate will be offered, and a flat-folding third-row bench seat is standard. The Hyundai version, hinted at during the introduction of the Portico concept, is expected by year's end.

Hopefully it doesn't weigh 4300 pounds like the current version. The V6 they have in the car now is pretty good but the car is a porker.

The new Ody seems to have caught up to the Kia in that department

My mom had the old Sedona. It was a nice vehicle, not too bad really. For the price you pay, its a great value.
