Kia Sedona
Select a Year
(11 available)Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
The 2012 Kia Sedona minivan remains largely unchanged from last year, with the exception of an available rear-seat DVD entertainment system on the LX trim (previously available only on the EX).
The Sedona's 3.8-liter V6 engine has been re-tuned for improved fuel economy, while a new rear backup warning system is made standard on both LX and EX trims. EX trims also feature a standard rearview camera.
All Sedonas receive a new AM/FM/CD stereo with MP3 USB-input port and a three month subscription to SIRIUS Satellite Radio. A new navigation audio unit is now available on the EX trims.
The Sedona minivan is a consumer's best friend and a nightmare for rival manufacturers. In just a few short years, Kia has transformed the Sedona from a middle-of-the-road minivan into a first-rate transport. With class-leading horsepower and safety ratings, seating for eight and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, it's hard to argue with the Sedona. Toss in a sticker price thousands less than a comparably-equipped Honda Odyssey or Toyota Sienna and the Sedona looks downright unbeatable. Of course, the Sedona's resale figures can't compare with its Japanese rivals, but if the initial bottom line is more important than what you might get come trade-in time, the Sedona should be at the top of your shopping list.

"3300 miles, so far all is well, road noise is acceptable, pickup is impressive, meets all of my needs re passenger comfort and storage capacity, my wife likes driving it and she is use to Lincoln Towncar, best yet it allows us to take grand kids and dogs to beach house in one vehicle, rather than have to take two cars"

"This is my 1st Kia, and my last. With only 1800 miles, I am ready to sell. Perhaps having owned higher quality cars is my problem, but even the quality of service is much lower. Problems like the vehicle brake system keep coming back. The car seems to suck small road pebbles into the calipers. The dealer says it's something Kia won't pay him to fix and he's not going to take my brakes apart every week to pull stones out unless I pay for it. It's an "environmental" problem and my responsibility. This functional and safety issue coupled with cheap seats and electronics make this a car for those who would consider it as "disposable" when they are done with it. If you have any doubt at all, don't buy it!!!!!!!!"
