2020 Kia Sedona

The Kia Sedona comes in four trims, starting with the Sedona L at $27,200 all the way to the most premium minivan - the Sedona SX - priced at $41,100. While the Sedona L is great for using as a fleet vehicle, upgrading to the EX or even the SX is highly recommended if you're planning on using the minivan as a daily driver.

The Kia Sedona EX coming is the best value-for-money trim in the minivan in the lineup. You can equip the optional EX premium package which adds upgraded shock absorbers, adaptive cruise control, and tri-zone automatic climate control.

Although untested by the EPA for fuel economy, the Sedona chugs like its Oktoberfest. With a decent 21 miles to the gallon combined fuel economy, it's can fit your fleet as an efficient work van. Comparatively, the other minivans in the segment boast similar numbers of 22 miles to the gallon, ergo the high gear ratios in the 9-speed transmission make the drive surprisingly efficient on highways.

The Sedona is plenty comfortable for a long road trip packed with people and cargo. SX models benefit from reclining second-row seats, and these captain's chairs represent some of the most comfortable in the class. - Edmunds

Seating and Comfort

Engineers at Kia haven't just worked on the outside, they have also added a few more bells and whistles on the inside. The Sedona offers a wide range of family-friendly features and ergonomics to the users. Materials feel premium, more so than the rest of the minivans along with reclining seats, extendable footrests, and options like heated seats and leather upholstery.

Infotainment System

With upgrades like optional smartphone connectivity, wireless charging, dual-touchscreen 10-inch rear-entertainment, and Harman Kardon audio system, the 7-inch infotainment system comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can be upgraded to an 8-inch unit. USB and Bluetooth connectivity

Cargo Capacity

The Kia Sedona has seats that can be stowed to increase the cargo capacity of the minivan, essentially converting your people carrier into a full-fledged cargo hauler. Boasting 142 cubic feet more than the Chrysler and the Dodge. The sliding doors and the huge rear door miles loading and unloading the van child's play.

The biggest cargo bay award goes to the Honda Odyssey, with 158 cubic feet volume, the Honda has no equal. The Chrysler and Dodge have equal capacities of 140 cubic feet at the rear.

The minivan profile is two-box timeless, and the 2020 Sedona does well enough with what it's been given on the outside. The grille sits upright, framed by LED running lights and a generally light touch on the chrome. - Car Connection

Design and Dimensions

After a full aesthetics makeover, the Kia Sedona aligns with the modern Kia design language. Starting things off with the massive tiger-nose grille up front, the design transitions across the front fascia and along with the bodywork with smooth lines. There are no edgy elements, unlike most 2020 cars to make it look futuristic and gaudy. At the sides, you're greeted by huge sliding doors that reveal the cabin inside.

Kia Sedona is a minivan with the largest ground clearance of the lot, sitting tall at 6.7-inches from the ground. The Kia is also pretty narrow and short, positively affecting the maneuverability of the minivan. Aside from that, the Toyota is the shortest of the bunch, while the Flex is the narrowest. The Chrysler is the tallest minivan among the competition, while the Honda odyssey sits the lowest to the ground.

Kia Sedona vs Honda Odyssey

Honda Odyssey is one of the long-reigning class leaders in the minivan segment. Along with a plethora of features and creature comforts, comes an efficient engine and smooth transmission. The 280 hp Odyssey also boasts the largest cargo bay. The interiors on the Kia, however, feel more refined and ergonomically designed for the users. From the outside, the Kia Sedona is a stunning minivan compared to the edgy and awkward design of the Honda. If you don't mind the slightly smaller cargo bay and are looking for a budget minivan, the Kia is the better choice.

Kia Sedona vs Chrysler Pacifica

The Chrysler Pacifica is another one of the good looking minivans along with the Kia Sedona. The Pacifica has a better and more powerful engine along with a smoother shifting 9-speed to go with better laid out interiors and infotainment. The Cargo capacity is nearly identical among the two, however, the Sedona benefits from a higher ground clearance. Between the two, the Chrysler Pacifica is the obvious choice.

Along with the aesthetics, the Kia Sedona comes with great interiors and ergonomic infotainment. The premium materials on the inside make the cabin habitable as a daily driver. The engine lacks flair and the transmission is very forgettable, but as a vehicle is not meant for high-performance driving the drivetrain is adequate for your needs.
