Is it weird that one of the most exciting vehicles to arrive at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/new-york-auto-show/">2014 New York Auto Show</a> is a minivan? Well, yeah, it's pretty odd. Still, with the design direction from Peter Schreyer, not to mention Kia's traditionally aggressive pricing, excellent warranty and solid list of high-end equipment, the new, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/kia/sedona/">2015 Sedona</a> could end up being a big winner for the Korean brand.<br />
<br />
The design, which shares a lot of the styling that's been instigated by Schreyer since he joined Kia, looks just as good when shaped like a minivan. The grille and headlights clearly tie the Sedona to the likes of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/kia/cadenza/">Cadenza</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/kia/k900/">K900</a>, while features like its higher beltline and simple-but-stylish back end should do well with minivan buyers.<br />
<br />
At first glance we aren't too enthused by the interior on the largest <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/kia/">Kia</a>, however. The dash looks rather plasticky, although the color scheme at work is pretty attractive. Of course, we'll need to get the big van out from under the auto show lights to render a final judgment on the cabin materials. On the space and versatility fronts, though, the Sedona looks like a winner. It will be available in either seven- or eight-passenger configurations, while the Captain's chairs on the seven-seat layout offer an ottoman that should make it even easier for the kids to fall asleep on family road trips.<br />
