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 SummaryThe Highlander has increased its sales every year for nearly a decade, and the only way to do that is to keep things fresh. To that end, Toyota fitted the 2017 Highlander with an updated V6 engine, some updated styling, a new “sport” SE trim, and a whole lot of extra safety by making its Safety Sense system standard. | |
