Test Drive: 2015 Kia Sedona - Autos.ca

Minivans may not be the automotive rising star that crossovers are these days, but while recovering from a pre-holiday ankle break and subsequent surgery, I couldn’t help but appreciate why minivans are so darned effective at their task. Since walking any real distance without crutches was impossible, being able to throw them into the back without having to mess with messy hinged doors is a real convenience. My realization came during a week with the 2015 Kia Sedona, the company’s third crack at a North American people-mover. But, like its other preconception-busting offerings, the Cadenza and K900 luxury sedans, While Dodge will happily sell you a Grand Caravan for $19,895, Kia’s entry-level L trim starts around $28,000. Between L and the loaded SXL+ are five... That’s a head-shaking figure for any vehicle, let alone a Kia minivan, but it puts forward a very solid case in its favour. Access to the third row can be either by sliding the middle chairs outwards towards the sliding doors to gain a precious few extra centimetres of space to walk between, or by sliding and tilting them forward against the front.
