Overview

In the realm of midsize vans, the 2011 Kia Sedona Minivan is well known. Prices go up to MSRP $24,595, with a total of 2 trims being offered. With gorgeous, and in fact quite roomy, interiors, the 2011 Kia Sedona offers seating for up to 7 people. There is a single engine on offer, which is a 3.5L V6 engine, attached to a 6-speed Automatic transmission, that makes 271 horsepower, and 248 lb-ft of torque. This returns a combined fuel economy of 21 MPG. Despite a curb weight of 4,374 pounds, this engine feels potent enough. Kia offers a decent amount of practical as well as cosmetic features, further increasing the prospects of the Sedona among competitors like the Toyota Sienna, and the Honda Odyssey.

Buying Advice

Our recommendation is the top-level EX trim bundled with the available Luxury package, which includes a sunroof, leather upholstery, heated front seats, power-adjustable pedals, and driver-seat memory.

              Wouldn't buy again

              Pros - ["Decent gas mileage", "Roomy cabin"]

              Cons - ["Doors freeze in my cold climate", "Oil sending unit is a repeat repair. 3 to date"]

              Doors freeze, slider doors required expensive quoted repairs to close properly leaving a very dangerous situation for a child riding in the rear seat. Air conditioning has always been marginal. Oil sending unit is another very costly repair. I'm on my 3rd one. I change my oil every 5,000 miles. Overall, this is a temperamental vehicle.
