"Minivans are hardly a hot segment these days, but you wouldn't know it from the slew of introductions in the past year," says USA Today on the abundance of new minivans coming from every major auto maker. Kia's new addition, the updated Sedona, receives a powerful upgrade to its V6 engine.

Under the hood, Sedona receives a new engine - a 3.5-liter V6 engine capable of producing up to 271 horsepower, 27 more horses than the previous version.
