To some degree, all our testers liked the Sedici’s softly-styled exterior, though the suggestion that it’s too car-like was repeated more than once. It’s the same story inside, too, where its slick styling is undermined by a lot of rather average materials, in particular some large expanses of black plastic.
The dash itself is clearly laid out, and split A-posts are a clever touch for improving your view of the road ahead. Stowage is only adequate, however, with no cubby box at all, and our testers were less than thrilled to find exposed screw heads in the glovebox.
There’s more legroom in the back than we expected, however, though with the C-post so close to their heads our testers thought it felt more cramped than it is. The seats fold and tumble, but their action is more fiddly and time-consuming than it should be in this day and age, and with a large step in the cargo floor and an awkwardly placed lip on the boot, actually using the space they create is hardly the last word in convenience either.
