Kia Sedona Overview
Available in seven- or eight-seat configurations, the Sedona use a 3.3-liter V6 paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. It makes 276 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque and earned EPA fuel economy ratings of 18mpg in the city, 24mpg on the highway and 21mpg combined. It has 142 cubic-feet of cargo volume behind the front seats and 33.9 cu ft of cargo room behind the third row. A 7.0-inch color touchscreen infotainment unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility is standard, as are second-row Slide-N-Stow seats and 60/40 split foldaway third-row seats.
The Sedona is attractive enough, fulfills the minivan mission well and offers plenty of safety tech, but modern and advanced offerings from Honda and Chrysler define the segment and are too good to ignore.
Trim Specifications
Dual sliding doors seem like a must-have on a minivan so that automatically requires an upgrade to the LX trim from the base L. The upcharge also brings two additional speakers for a total of six, adds a power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support and rear privacy glass, so the $2800 upcharge is well spent.
Leather seating requires an upgrade to the EX trim, which is the best value of the group without going over-the-top in terms of price. The EX smart key with push-button start, 18-inch wheels, smart sliding rear doors, roof rails, blind-spot collision warning, parking assist, rear cross-traffic collision warning, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped gearshift knob and steering wheel, and a wireless phone charger.
The SX trim adds a bevy of luxury and convenience upgrades such as LED exterior lighting, an eight-inch infotainment screen, 110V power outlets, ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and several additional advanced safety and driving aids.
