Three Reasons to Love the 2016 Sedona – Miami Lakes Automall Kia

Minivans. As much as people love to hate them, they are the Swiss army knife of the automotive industry. They are essential to the modern day family, or the active older adult couple. They can haul, tow, carry, and accommodate just about anything you need them to, and they are doing it with more style than ever before. Embracing minivan ownership is one of the best decisions you can make for your active family, and Kia is helping drivers cope with the transition with the new 2016 Kia Sedona .

Designed to appeal to those who dislike the concept and look of the traditional minivan, the new Kia Sedona resembles a large SUV, rather than the dreaded grocery-getter of years past. Not only is the exterior styling more enhanced to look less like a minivan, but the new Sedona has some key features that we are super excited about sharing with you. There are countless ways to juice up your Sedona to help remind you that your vehicle is not something to be embarrassed for driving, but rather a multipurpose vehicle others will be jealous of. So, sit back, relax, and prepare to be amazed at just how evolved the modern day minivan has become – in the form of the 2016 Sedona.

The Features of the New Sedona We Know You Will Love

The Sedona has a lot going for it this year. With an updated exterior, refined interior, and incredible towing capabilities – the 2016 Sedona will be the last vehicle you ever want to own. There are a lot of exceptional features that were added or carried over from the Sedona’s outgoing model year, and each one deserves an honorable mention. Let’s take a look into some of the features of the 2016 Sedona that are helping it redefine what a minivan should be, and gives others a twinge of jealousy when they see you driving down the road in one.

Space Optimization

One of the best things about any minivan, is the amount of interior space it has. The new Sedona has seating for up to eight passengers, and plenty of room left over to store their things. Not only is the new Sedona spacious, but it is full of great ways to keep your items organized. From space optimization technology, to advanced storage solutions, the 2016 Sedona has it all. Let’s explore some of those spacious features below:

• Slide-N-Stow Seating: This advanced stowing feature comes standard on all Sedona models, with the exception of the upper-level SXL. With an easy one-hand operation, the second row of seats fold up, and slide forward. This handy feature allows optimum interior storage space, without having to remove any of the seats. Finding space for larger items is quick, easy, and hassle free.
• Center Console: The conventional minivan does not feature a traditional center console – leaving less convenient space for storing smaller items. It’s a good thing that the Kia Sedona doesn’t conform to the conventions of its segment. The center console in the 2016 Sedona is a class-exclusive feature, and gives drivers maximum storage space complete with a cushioned armrest. It is as convenient as it is comfortable, thanks to the sliding tray that can easily be removed to store larger items. This unique feature is standard on all 2016 Sedona models.
• Dual Power Sliding Doors: What good is a large interior space if you can’t easily access it? The Sedona features dual power sliding doors on it’s top three trim levels, which can be controlled by a push of a button. Whether you open the door from your key fob, or one of the locations in the interior cabin, getting in and out of your vehicle is a breeze.
• Smart Power Liftgate: Another feature exclusive to the top three trim levels on the Sedona, the power lift gate allows hands-free access to all of your interior cargo. While other models may have you balancing on one foot while you try to initiate a sensor with other, the 2016 Sedona will automatically open when it senses your key fob. Leave the balancing acts to the other brands, and access your Sedona with ease.
