REVIEWS AND ROAD TESTS
Pay as you go…
Despite the fact that the minivan market is stagnating, Kia is entering it with a new product, the 2002 Sedona. And instead of playing the bottom-of-the-food-chain card, it ’ s a well-equipped, high-quality offer.This newcomer is neither as short as a Caravan, neither as long as a Grand Caravan. It ’ s a Sienna-sized vehicle, with a brand-new platform, not seen before. The powertrain is a team of a DOHC 3.5 liter V6 and a 5-speed automatic transmission. Nothing new, but on-par with the best in the class.But on figure is surprising: 2150 kg on the scale. This is heavyweight category, like the 70 ’ s big station-wagons of our youth. Maybe the many standard features are weighting their toll in kilograms more than in dollars. Or lightness is still a sign of quality engineering… Another figure that will open many eyes, fuel economy. In town, the Sedona will need 16 litre/100km ( 12 litre/100km on the highway ), that ’ s 3.1 litres/100km worst than the category leader, the GM Venture-Montana twins. It ’ s really the opposite of past years, the American product being less thirsty than an Asiatic one…
