Keeping your safety in mind, for $400 you can add the Safety Sphere Group option that gives you blind spot and cross path detection. When a vehicle is in your blind spot, a light illuminates on the side mirrors and if you turn on your indicator to switch lanes, a beeping sound goes off to also alert you.
A great safety system, but don’t forget to still do a quick shoulder check just to make sure it is safe to go.
A remote starter is also included on the Limited. LOVE IT! If you have never had one, with winter fast approaching, I would not want to live without this feature. Press the button on the key fob twice and voila – let the van warm up for a few minutes and when you get in, you will be nice and warm. My complaint with this though is that the heated seats don’t stay on when you turn the car off. So you will have warm air, but will have to wait a while for the bum warmers to kick in.
Function is on the top of the list for people needing a minivan. Choosing between Swivel ‘N Go or Stow ‘N Go seating will be a big consideration for all buyers, both provide very separate functions.
The Stow ‘N Go is my favourite. The second row of bucket style seats fold flat into the floor. I recently had the Kia Sedona and was not impressed at all with the fold forward and “secure with a strap” system that they used.
The Stow ‘N go is not perfect – but it is pretty close. You need to make sure the seat in front is far enough forward and then you need to hold up the folding floor cover with one hand and use the other to stow the seat. But once they are in – you have completely flat floor and tonnes of space to carry tonnes of stuff!
Swivel ‘N Go allows you to turn the 2nd row of seats around 180degrees and you can get four people around the table in the back to play games while on a road trip.
A $650 option, but one that I think offers great convenience is the power folding third row of seats. They split 60/40 and with the push of a button, they go up and down separately or together in just seconds.
