Love the new Kia van! One of the nicest styled units to come along since the Sienna. Very clean and modern styling up front and back. Dash is on the plain side, but still appears modern (color needs to change). Also dig that floor console shifter, right where it falls easily in hand.

maybe the new one you drove didn't have the what, 19s on it the limited? it could be a wheel/tire issue, but the ride was flinty and harsh over bumps and DEFINITELY not quiet on the highway (wind noise, road noise, lame). my aging '06 explorer is quieter on the highway.

Nice as far as minivans go. Like the reclining La-z-boy style Captain seats.

The look feels more like a dodge, boxy and butch

it's a nice n safe design...add the 10yr/100k warranty and it's looking to be a good buy

That interior just looks so synthetic, pasty and plasticky.

I'm sure it will be a little cheaper than the Sienna but come on.

I feel the interior has a nice blend of good looking materials and enough hard plastics that can easily be wiped down in the event of a temper tantrum from an applesauce wielding demon in the back seat.
