Who ever thought a minivan could be luxurious? Well, the Kia Sedona may just do it.

Just recently I found out I’m going to have my fourth daughter in a few months and my husband and I decided it’s time to upgrade to a minivan to fit the whole clan. We started test-driving minivans like the Nissan Quest and Toyota Sienna and weren’t really falling in love with anything. A couple weeks ago my sister suggested we stop at Waukegan new car dealer Classic Kia.

We went and test-drove a Sedona van at the new and used Waukegan car dealer and ended up driving off the lot in it about an hour later. What really sold us was the space. Having a larger family, there’s just always more “stuff” everywhere, and if we couldn’t fit everyone and everything in the Sedona, we have a problem.

The Sedona, which seats up to 7 persons in a 2-2-3 arrangement, has a very low floor and relatively tall roofline, which accounts for a good majority of the spaciousness.  Parents know the frustration when you’re leaning in the backseat trying to unhook your 2-year-old from the car seat and the seat belt gets in the way and you’re squished between her chest and the back of passenger’s seat. Those frustrating situations cease to exist with the Sedona. There’s so much room for any sort of movement or maneuvering and 3^rd-row passengers can easily migrate to their seat.

To put the space into some perspective, there’s 7 1/2 cubic feet of luggage space, and it multiplies by 15X when the 2^nd and 3^rd row seats are removed, revealing 121 cubic feet of open space.

My husband and I also thought the Sedona was a great choice because it has the highest safety rating of any minivan currently on the market. With so many little ones, we’d be foolish to choose anything but the van with the highest ratings.

In terms of the basics, it has a decent fuel economy. The Waukegan Kia Sedona we purchased averages 17 mpg highway and 23 mpg city. It performs with a 3.8L V6 engine and has a starting price tag of $22,195. If your family’s growing or just looking for a spacious ride, visit new and used Kia Waukegan dealer, Classic Kia, to test-drive the all-new Sedona. I promise, it won’t disappoint!
