2012 Kia Sedona Review

By KBB.com Editors
You'll Like This Car If...

If you think you have to pay big money to get big content, the 2012 Kia Sedona minivan proves otherwise. An unbeatable warranty coupled with an IIHS Top Safety Pick award should be enough to dampen an

You May Not Like This Car If...

About the only reason not to like the 2012 Sedona would be its still relatively unknown long-term reliability record and perhaps its somewhat bland styling. Also, those who lease or regularly trade in

How it Drives

There is nothing "van-like" about the 2012 Kia Sedona minivan's ride and handling. Overall, driving the Sedona is a pretty uneventful chore, with strong acceleration made possible by the potent 271-horsepower V6. The 2012 Kia Sedona's 6-speed automatic is a really fine transmission, showing no signs of gear hunting or abrupt gear changes under hard acceleration.

Pros: "snappy acceleration"

Cons: "front window noise"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7

"We now have 16000 miles and have been on 2 trips with this van. Gets great gas mileage, between 25-29 on trips. My only complaint is excessive wind noise from the front windows. Kia replaced the window seals and it helped some but came back. I went to a different dealer who also tried to help but was told by Kia that they know of the problem and there is no fix. I don't like the noise, but overall am pleased with the van."

Cannot get KIA to fix it, the two front doors leak
