Seriously? Progressive would imply they are coming up with new designs and that they are not. This is an obvious land rover copy. Literally everything kia and hyundai is a design copy/knockoff. Progressive.....hahaha. What design school did you attend
@@sinclairal The head designers in Hyundai/KIA came from Volkswagen/Audi and Jaguar/Land Rover, with the head engineer coming from BMW's M division. They're not knockoffs, and compared to the rest of their respective segments, they're progressive.
@@dave_riots As a professional designer I recognize the taking of very trademark elements in almost every kia and hyundai vehicle. Just because the designers come from other manufacturers doesn't mean they do not copy those elements. Stealing designs seems to be a corporate problem for them. Top down likely. I stand by my point that they are not progressive. Making something look like someone's else's is not progressive. It's stealing.
@@sinclairal That's not copying, that's just how the designers designed cars in the past. You're mistaken if you think these cars copy any elements from that of any other manufacturer in any way that warrants concern from anyone else other than yourself. The thing that strikes down your point is the fact that if this car was "a copy", lawsuits would've been handed down to the Hyundai/KIA group for theft of intellectual property on the grounds they've copied and/or stolen any design elements from other manufacturers. If you want a real example of copying, look at the Landwind X7 and the Range Rover Evoque, one that actually DID have lawsuits filed by one manufacturer against another. Range Rover won this case, and the Landwind X7 is no longer produced. If you're a designer, you're clearly not that of the automotive sector, so you should stop being pretentious as you have no credibility here. You clearly have little to no knowledge of how automotive design works. You're just here for the sake of brand shaming. The cars that the Hyundai/KIA group are progressive and stand out compared to the rest of the competition in their respective segments.
Wow! She is able to articulate her design descriptions in English really well. The C pillar design I believe helps to make that typical "minivan look" more like an SUV by taking your eyes away from that sliding door slot. I completely agree with you on the sliding door not opening wide enough.
At the end of the day, Kia and Hyundai are beating the market and taking a huge piece out of the market. They moved faster than Toyota and Honda when then entered the US market. Say what you want, they have been killing it.

It is nice to see an intelligent woman do a review. SO many reviews are given by men who skip over the stuff that is most important to women...for example, scans past the cargo area with seats folded down but spends 5 minutes looking at tail lights. Yep, they are tail lights. (These are especially nice though.) ;)
Mari Cho, 1st time I've seen a review done by you. I definitely appreciate your blunt honesty, it's very refreshing! Ive just subscribed to your channel and liked the video. Please keep up the good work, and be safe! Frank from the state of Georgia USA.
The most beautiful mini van presented by the prettiest girl! Such a wonderful video to enjoy and she is very professional in terms of presentation. I'm sold.
I appreciate the honest and thorough review - refreshing! Tired of marketing tricks and snazzy videography - it puts me off if anything. Give it to me straight up. Great review.
Very precise review and I like your voice, so clear and refreshing❤️! This minivan has all the stuffs I need, definitely I will get this one! I love you KIA❤️😋! Goodbye Toyota🤚..
This woman is not just a Korean. She proves that she can do everything. I love this new Sedona. And I've been waiting this new model all the time. Thank you for this beautiful girl.❤️❤️❤️ Keep safe
Love it, Love it, Love it... Love the way it looks. Actually for me it looks more like an SUV than a van.. Just from my own opinion it looks way better than the Odessy.. The Odessy kinda looks like a hearse from the side.. 😕😐
11 seater? That's a freakin BUS. Impressive packaging in a stylish package. Well done. Hyundai/Kia/Genesis continue to step up.. Wouldn't be surprised to see more of these on the road as a viable alternative to Sienna and Odyssey
I love the new grille. The headlights are different. The only thing I dislike is the aluminum clad on the C pillar. The digital cluster/infotainment is next level. Kia is killing the game!
Great job Marie. But what was meant by "visuality"? I'd also avoid over-criticizing certain features because some of us may actually like them. OK to mention your preference though. Also, you should either wear the mask or take it off, not half-way. l look forward to more reviews from you. Thanks.
Its really nice.... probably the best ever mini van or people mover.... wats wrong with Kia, they just keep coming with nicer looking cars..... oh its Peter Schryer...
I appreciate you broke with the normal way channels introduced vehicles, where you are very honest with things you did not like and most other channels just hang out and talk about how great it seems and won't say anything until they get to test drive it
looks like a good amalgamation from each of a wagon and suv characters.... for a minivan? that's definitely a gamechanger and the design language is pretty solid.
Damn, I love this channel peeps! And [sorry don't recall name] she really does a great job and love that she's very easy in the eyes. Found channel about 5 videos ago and this one sparked me to comment. Already subbed and liked 👍🏻. Keep up the great work, (really enjoy it) and peace from Florida 🌞!
You don’t even mention the fact that it looks like an SUV from the side, I’m guessing the designer has that chrome to help pull off the fact that it is a van that looks like an SUV, this van is very appealing to me and should be car of the year.
This is my first time viewing one of your videos and I must say it was very, very good. Very informative and hit on all the points a viewer would want to know from the perspective of a "First Look". Thanks!
Welcome to the team Mari! You look like a natural doing car videos, I take it you have experience from another channel or did this as work someplace else? This Sedona looks quite like a SUV, the Sorento could have benefited from a couple more inches to comfortably make it a 7 passenger vehicle. I prefer the Sorento as a 5 seater but this look wouldn’t be out of place on it. Thanks for the presentation, can’t wait for the driving video.
I love the two things she hates. The grill looks very luxury and makes the minivan very stylish and bold. C-pillar also is great, it was designed to look like a suv and silver/chrome finish makes it stand out.
@Mari Cho believe me, a few months later, this will be the service vehicle of most of the celebrities and K-POP idols in your country. By the way, it's an honest review. I love it! Your new fan here! Looking forward to your future car reviews...
if you like this when you have NO kids.....you'll LOVE it once you do. We've had at least one minivan since we started having children...21 years ago. On my 3rd Honda Odyssey and even though the soccer trips, etc are behind us...just still love having the option to move large items, take a family road trip, etc with my minivan. Just super practical. This one looks incredible. Honda/Toyota better step up their minivan game.
gratefulRed69 Honestly I’d rather have a minivan than a pickup right now. A minivan can haul more than any pickup inside it, and tow a small boat/jet skis just as well. Plus you get 7 seats, comfort features and essentially an 8 ft bed.
We have the 2016 Kia Sedona SX and love it. We are in the market for a second one and will be purchasing this 2021-22 Sedona SX, once it comes to the USA. The Sedona is the most reliable minivan on the market and that speaks volumes. Can't wait to purchase this when its available.
That's for Korean market. that 4th row is useless but you can use bus only lane (similar to HOV)on the highway if you have 9 or more seater vehucle with 6 or more occupants.
It is because of Korean traffic law as C71 said. So, KIA will not sell 4 low configuration Sedona to other country. Koreans know the 4th low seat is too small but buying it to use bus lane. And one more, 9 seats and 11 seats Sedona get commercial tax which is cheaper than 7 seats Sedona(normal vehicle tax)
Mari, great presentation! I think the design features you don't like are supposed to make it look like an SUV! Moms won't shy away from it if it doesn't look like a "soccer mom minivan"... yes, it's moms who don't want minivans!
Fully agree with the sliding door, it should open wider especially if you're loading car seats, and the C pillar is too thick. Still, the best looking minivan out there and that's not an opinion.
Nice job. I agree with the “C Pilliar” comment and sliding door not opening enough. I like the more aggressive looks of last year. I noticed Honda and Toyota are stepping up their minivan game as well. I wish they offered all wheel drive and a GT Model for us dads.
Guess I should say something about the new Sedona, got distracted, it doesn't look like a minivan and I think it's f'ing sick! My girl has a '14 Sportage and loves it! Kia is killing it!! Can hardly wait for the K5 GT, may be my Mustang replacement!
Overall this Kia is good.. But I also don't like the high gloss interior trim.. Darker colored trim that is not shiny or glossy would have been much better. And also I don't like the twist knob shifter.. I prefer a "handle" traditional shifter.

The C pillar makes it look like an suv. That's why they did it. Smart idea.
Yep as someone who thought he loathed minivans, this model certainly has caught my eye.
The interiors are as good as the German cars. Marvelous job Kia. Take a bow 👏👏

Sits high like a SUV, narrower window tall doors make it look much more sporty, they took the soccer mom out of this van. Stunning

That 4th row of seating is a game changer.
4th row probably won't be available in the US market due to regulation, sad...
@@crazej213 I wonder if we'll see it here in Australia
it’s a death trap. All it takes is a rear end collision. those 4th row passengers have zero space to protect them from whatever is coming at them.
@@Littleathquakes Rear end anything hard enough & it'll be fatal for the rear passengers. Besides most rear end collisions are fender benders.
@@Littleathquakes that argument applies to all mid sized SUVs that cram that 3rd row in the back.

I respectfully disagree. I think the grille looks really good. And aesthetically, Kia knocked it out of the park with this design overall.
i Loved this car , the Video and presentation is so Great.. i must say this is my top choice car for the family..

Fully agree with the sliding door, it should open wider especially if you're loading car seats, and the C pillar is too thick. Still, the best looking minivan out there and that's not an opinion.

I just really don’t like how they’re putting rear turning signals on the bumpers so separated from the main taillight housing.
Kia is Killing the Game...Im all in for 2021
interior have a lot of Lincoln nav look, and benz dash feeling. also looks more like SUV then van which are all really nice.
best looking minivan i've ever seen. I wonder what seating versions/options will be made available here in USA?
Overall this Kia is good.. But I also don't like the high gloss interior trim.. Darker colored trim that is not shiny or glossy would have been much better. And also I don't like the twist knob shifter.. I prefer a "handle" traditional shifter.
