Overview

In the realm of midsize vans, the 2019 Kia Sedona Minivan is well known. Prices go

up to MSRP $41,100, with a total of 4 trims being offered. With gorgeous, and in fact quite roomy, interiors, the Sedona offers seating for up to 8 people. There is a single engine on offer, which is a 3.3L V6 engine, attached to an 8 speed automatic transmission, that makes 276 horsepower, and 248 lb-ft of torque. This returns a combined fuel economy of 21 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 Honda Odyssey, Chrysler Pacifica, and Toyota Sienna.

Buying Advice

Although the most plush ride is offered by the SX trim, we prefer the more affordable and sensible LX trim which adds a handful of desirable features to that of the base trim at a price difference of under $3,000. Therefore, we believe the LX trim is the right choice for all types of buyers.
