With the 4th row it appears you lose all your cargo space. No go for vacations when you need all those seats. It might be lighter and have more HP, but my 2017 Sienna has plenty of power at 296hp. It's van, not a super car. Plus that Toyota reliability. No need to risk that getting something else

11 seats for what, midgets?

Could a 6' tall, adult male even reach the back row, much sit there comfortably?

The 11 seat version is Asia only and aimed at Shuttle and Limo service roles.

There will be tons of these in Utah.

That's what roof racks and stuff are for.

Plus, even if you don't need 11 seats what that much room gives you is child separation. Which means they're far enough apart to not be dicks to each other.

If Arfcom was a family, only four would be able to fit.

Surprised if they don't, having the tt v6 model. My v6 kia van was pretty dang fun with traction off. Was real, real easy to get the tires to smoke.

I admit, Kia is making some decent looking vehicles today.

I still won't buy one, but they're interesting.

We have a 2012 Sedona and it has lots of pep. Damn solid van though it's plain as dirt.

As it has already been pointed out in this thread, there is no 4th row row seating in US models.

And the 3rd row does fold flat.

Original model name during project development was "Cartel" based on its intended mission.

Many years ago I told my wife, "If I ever start talking about us buying a mini-van just go ahead and shoot me."

I did buy an Expedition though.

Will the US Version ever be 11 seat capable? I realize it's not super popular but one of these would be much, much better than a 15-style passenger van.
