Kia wanted it to be less minivan and more "grand utility vehicle."

It certainly looks more SUV-like, but make no mistake, it's a minivan with all of the body style's benefits.

"Relaxation Mode" lets second-row passengers recline all the way and has a leg rest. So cool.

The second-row seats can even pivot to feel like you're riding on a train!

The back seats are probably way comfier to be sitting in, honestly.

No confirmation for the US just yet, but it seems highly likely we'll see the minivan in the near future.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
