The 2015 Kia Sedona has another reason to brag. The minivan has been awarded the J.D. Power Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) award for its segment. Not too long ago, the minivan won the 2015 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) award as well, and throughout the year the Sedona was up 476 percent from mid-year 2014 reports.

“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.”

The APEAL study is based on owner responses and opinions, split up into 10 categories, after 90 days of ownership.
