2015 J.D. Power APEAL Award

 

The Sedona has received the J.D. Power Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) award in the Minivan segment. The award is based off a study that measures new vehicle owner’s overall satisfaction with their vehicles in the first 90 days.  The results are divided into 10 categories and weighted accordingly: exterior, interior, storage, audio, seats, heating and ventilation, driving dynamics, powertrain, visibility, and fuel economy.

 

The Kia Sedona has been completely redesigned and has received high praise from media and consumers. "The redesign of Sedona, which completes Kia's design-led transformation under the direction of chief design officer Peter Schreyer, is an extraordinary success story for the Kia brand," said Orth Hedrick, vice president of product planning, Kia Motors America (KMA). "Customers want vehicles they're proud to drive, and Sedona's superior combination of a strong, confident design, advanced safety features, and premium amenities, is revolutionizing the minivan segment. Earning top honors in the J.D. Power APEAL study is affirmation from our customers of the new Sedona's appeal and desirability."
