Stylish and certainly stands out from mainstream competition. Refined, too, but lacks the sparkle of an Alfa 159 or build quality of a 3-series. Still worth a look, though.
This is a positive evolution for the Sedona. But with similarly priced rivals such as Ford’s dynamically superior S-Max, the big Kia is no longer quite so big on value.
Crashy ride and dodgy active steering notwithstanding, the 335i is a compelling car which expands the appeal of the 3-series range considerably before the arrival of the hopefully more hardcore M3.
The Avensis has been mildly sharpened to remain a strong contender in the class. That the new 2.0-litre diesel is a fine engine only adds to its real-world appeal.
