- Available Nappa leather and "First Class" lounge second-row seating sets Sedona apart from its segment competitors
- 2015 Sedona offers seven-passenger seating and unique eight-passenger configuration with Slide-N-StowTM technology for maximum flexibility
IRVINE, CA, April 16, 2015 /CNW/ - Kia Motors America's (KMA) all-new 2015 Sedona has earned a spot on the Ward's 10 Best Interiors list. The Sedona was recognized by the editors for its impressive interior style, comfort, and overall execution, including the available second-row "First-Class" lounge seating.
"The all-new Sedona completes Kia's design-led transformation under the direction of chief design officer Peter Schreyer. It combines CUV styling, inside and out, with exceptional quality and offers unique interior features," said Orth Hedrick, vice president, product planning, KMA. "This is the second-consecutive year that Kia has earned a spot on the Ward's 10 Best Interiors list, following last year's inclusion of the ultra-popular Soul. This award is a testament to Kia's continued commitment to world-class quality and top-notch design that is as beautiful as it is functional."
Starting at $27,495, the completely transformed Sedona comes in seven- and eight-passenger seating configurations and offers available Nappa leather trimmed seating surfaces. Exclusive Slide-N-Stow second-row seats slide and fold upright for enhanced cargo hauling without the hassle of removing heavy seats. Sedona's front center console is unique to the segment and allows for generous storage space between the front seats, while the large dual glove box offers a cooled lower storage area for convenience.
"Minivans may not be as popular as they used to be, but the all-new Kia Sedona gives us reason to think this segment is in store for a resurgence," said Tom Murphy, executive editor, WardsAuto World magazine. "Kia takes stylistic chances with the Sedona interior. Sedona is unique in its interior design with two-tone leather set off with white piping and orange contrast stitching. The van's comfortable and spacious, with way-cool second-row lounge seats with footrests. It's also flexible, with third-row seats that fold into the floor. Finally, a minivan that is truly cool!"
