Reviews SummaryIn order to carve a niche for its Sedona model, Kia marries SUV design cues with the utility and practicality of a minivan. Then, for extra measure, the top-of-the-line SXL model gets the materials and features of a luxury car. Blend these attributes with top-notch safety ratings, and the 2016 Kia Sedona might just be the best minivan available. | |
Reviews SummaryIt’s easy to nitpick any follow-up to a huge hit like the Kia Telluride, but the redesigned second-generation 2027 model remains easy to like despite its flaws. This midsize three-row SUV is available with a turbocharged gas or a turbocharged hybrid powertrain (the latter is covered in a separate review), and in a multitude of trim levels. The X-Pro models add more off-road capability, and the latest Kia infotainment and safety technologies are available across the lineup. Verdict: Better in many ways, the 2027 Kia Telluride is worthy of consideration, but driving it made us miss the first-generation model more often than expected. | |
