The Naza Ria is a minivan produced by Naza Group. It is known in the UK and North America as the Kia Sedona. It had a base price starting at around US$20,000, which was lower than most competing minivans. The later, smaller Kia Rondo has continued this tradtion. It is available in the United States with a 3.5 L DOHC V6 engine producing 195 hp (145 kW) SAE (145 kW), and many other countries with a 2.9 L DOHC turbodiesel, with 144 PS (142 hp SAE/106 kW). A 2.5 L V6 is available in some markets. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard for the smaller engines, with a 4-speed automatic transmission available as an optional. A 5-speed automatic is the only transmission in the American market. The Kia was Kia's top-selling vehicle in the United States when it launched.
In the United States, it is available in a base short-wheel base model, a long-wheelbase mid-level LX model and a top of the line long-wheelbase EX model.
The Naza Ria is produced for the Chinese market by the Dongfeng Yueda Kia Automobile Company, a joint venture with Kia.
