Latest news and rumours on what changes to expect from the 2016 Kia Sedona minivan!
At this point, there are no confirmed details on when the 2016 model of the Sedona van will be launched!
What consumers should know is the fact that Kia has released a completely redesigned model a couple of months ago.
With that in mind, the 2016 Sedona model is not expected to receive any major changes in terms of exterior and interior styling.
No powertrain upgrades are expected for the 2016 year, either. The sole engine choice (a 3,3L V6 GDI engine) will carry over to 2016 and beyond.
The 7- and 8-seating configurations will be kept as well!
Rumor: At some point in the not so distant future, the automaker could introduce a hybrid version of their hot-selling minivan (still a rumor, though!).
Sedona 2016 Release Date
If Kia follows their regular “new model year” vehicle cycle, the 2016 Sedona van will probably hit the dealerships across the United States during the second half of this year.
What Changes to expect For 2016:
- Sedona is going to retain the eye-catching exterior design
- Expect no changes “under the hood”; the V6 GDI engine stays there
- Kia could make some tweaks to the existing trim levels and expand a list of standard features
- The automaker may also introduce additional exterior color choices
“The 2016 Kia Sedona is expected to continue to offer attractive style, innovative technologies and up-to-date safety features!”
NOTE: None of the above-mentioned “model year” change is for granted!
We can confirm that the 2016 model will be released at some point in 2015, however, there are no confirmed details and information in this regard at this point!
We will keep you updated, so stay tuned and visit this news article in a couple of weeks to learn more about the 2016 Kia Sedona minivan changes and improvements!
8 speed,AWD plus turbo V6 for 2016?
please send me info on the 2016 kia sedona
It desperately needs the 8 speed auto from the genesis to get the MPG up.
At Ottawa ON auto show, KIA (not dealer) rep informed 2016 will have AWD and 1500 lb increase to towing capacity. re 2015, I found the component for 2nd row seating adjustment devices felt weak and likely to break over time. Someone warned the dash lighting is not easy on eyes and to check out prior to purchase. Otherwise, two thumbs up !
what is the planned release date for the 2016 sedona (SX)?
will there be additional colors? Red?
I am planning a purchase later this year
Had a 2016 Kia Sedona as a rental for a trip from NJ to FL, it was a great van, loved the 8 seats plenty of room for everyone. Plenty of back space as well. Sort of sorry I bought my mid-size SUV I did cause this van was really nice.
