Kia Sedona
Kia entered the competitive minivan segment in 2002 with the all-new Sedona. It aims to unseat established players such as the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna by offering a similar level of comfort and style at a more affordable price. And it largely succeeds. Under the hood, the Sedona comes with a capable V6 engine that delivers a good balance of power and fuel efficiency. A 2015 redesign introduced a host of notable upgrades inside the cabin, including a more modern design, higher-quality materials, and more standard features. However, the Sedona does face some challenges. Some find its handling and ride quality less refined than rivals, while the available cargo space behind the third row isn't as generous. Additionally, all-wheel drive isn't offered. Buyers should also note that Kia rebranded the Sedona as the Carnival starting with the 2022 model year.

2015 Kia Sedona EX
The grab handle is not conveniently located and is unusable. Would like to have a better position for the grab handle when entering and exiting the vehicle.

Frankly, I did not know much about Kia other than the cute hamster commercials until test driving one at the show. I test drove a Soul and was impressed with the ease of handling, acceleration, vented seats, and other options. The Soul was fun to drive and piqued my interest in looking further at Kia. We needed a vehicle that could seat 8 passengers so we looked at SUVs and minivans. After a great deal of comparison shopping, we chose the Kia Sedona because it is the only minivan on the market that offers vented seats, in addition to the option for eight passenger seating that did not compromise cargo space and a rear view camera, which were my top requirements. Furthermore, we liked how it handles and accelerates plus it has an excellent turning radius. We also love UVO, the touchscreen, the navigation system, Sirius, and 110 plug. We are very happy with our purchase! We have taken the van on two road trips so far and were very pleased with the experience. The only negative thing I have to say is that I wish the DVD player was built in. However that is easily remedied with an after market product.

Our family really enjoyed our first Kia Sedona and this played a large part in selecting our new car. We have property across the southwest and a flexible interior is very important to us. We also have pets who need accommodations.

Vehicle is nice Minivan. Just have one problem with the middle seat. It will not lock in place. Basically, our family is growing and we need a family minivan to accommodate the new additions ;)

Poorly designed second-row seating that does not fold flat in a mini van. This is a mini van and that should be a primary feature.

I love my KIA Sedona and have recommended it a great deal of times BUT the only downfall to it is the side mirrors. Since when the car is in reverse the mirrors go down well the driver's side mirror I always constantly have to fix it accordingly because it doesn't go back to original positon.
