Overview

In the realm of midsize vans, the 2015 Kia Sedona is well known. Prices go up to an MSRP of $39,700, with a total of 5 trims being offered. With gorgeous, and in fact quite roomy, interiors, the 2015 Kia Sedona offers seating for up to 8 people. There is a single engine on offer, which is a 3.3L V6, attached to a 6-speed automatic transmission, that makes 276 horsepower, and 248 lb-ft of torque. This returns a combined fuel economy of 20 MPG. Despite a curb weight of 4,443 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 Dodge Grand Caravan, the Honda Odyssey, and the Toyota Sienna.

Buying Advice

We recommend the SX Limited trim. There are many tech features and driver assistance features available in it, which makes it the most upscale trim in the group.
