Sedona Gets Refreshed for Chicago







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.

I think it looks better than the current bulbous one, and I see a lot of Sienna in the front.  The interior looks nice, but some of the materials look kinda cheap, but it's probly just me.

I don't like it. The rear looks like they stole the taillights off the Tundra, the overall front looks like they took maybe some cues from the Sienna, but not too bad, however the headlights look like warped Odyessy ones. The interior looks okay (rather similar to the current) except for that horrible wood.

The taillights do look a bit like the Tundra crewcab's, but I'd say there's more resemblance to the Kia Spectra5's.

They're both similar.

I personally think that they look a lot like a Caravan's.

Not near as much as the Tundra Double or Spectra5. I'll post pictures later, when I'm on a computer that doesn't block every website.

Cut off the bottom and they do start to look a little like Caravan lights. Still less so than the others, or the Hyundai Tucson/Kia Sportage for that matter.
