2015 Kia Sedona Minivan

**Balikpinoy** · January 16th, 2016 12:29 PM

I saw a display unit today at KIA Sta Rosa. There's ample legroom for the 2nd and 3rd row passengers. The 4th row is definitely for kids only as an adult would hit the rear window with their head. The fourth row is best left stowed so that you have space for strollers and stuff.

At the promo price, it's a great deal.

My old carnival can accomodate 10 normal size person (2-4-4) seating configuration with ample knee room space plus my luggage pa. Itong 11 seater yung 3rd row and 4th row yung tuhod mo dikit na sa upuan and also wala kanang paglalagyan ng luggage.

Well, the trend for American-style minivan is to equip the 2nd row with Captain's chair with foot rest.

One of the 3 Grand Carnivals that I saw today and that one is an 11 seater. It looks nice pa rin!!!

A 70 year old woman I know just commented, out of topic, that new Kia cars look great. Kudos to Peter Schreyer, Kia's head designer.

The 11-seater is supposed to have a rear camera, right? Do they replace the head unit with a bigger screen?

Yung sinilip ko yung loob ng nasa pic na 11 seater, the head unit is not a monitor / screen. Wala ding rear cam na naka install when I looked at the picture again.

It has a rear camera but the output is displayed on the rear view mirror.

Delivery of units commences April this year.

Yup April nga daw delivery. Bui nakahabol di ako sa promo.

I was at kia greenhills 2 days ago and the SA said that the promo is still available, and that the P1.575 is different from the P1.995. But I doubt she knows what she's really talking about. Nevertheless, that P1.575 is a steal!

the 1.995 carnival has a roof rail. whereas the 1.575 does not have a roof rail was what i was told....

and bear in mind the previous gen carnival was priced at 1.600 also. does the sunroof , bucket seats, power doors, power tailgate .... warrant a 700k price difference between the old model and the new model? i think kia just benchmarked its prices against the competition, ie previa...

sure they will get to sell some units to people who want one at any price. but eventually, they will have a hard time especially if a new previa comes out so they have to sell something at a lower price point to capture more volume.

New Previa? I haven't seen anyone driving a new Previa in years.
