Kia Sedona for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Excellent value, roomy interior with lots of cupholders and storage bins, solid build quality, lengthy warranty coverage.

Cons

Handling and steering response could be better, missing a few key minivan features, ABS not standard, below-average fuel mileage.

What’s new

Second-row captain's chairs are now available on the LX, while all models get larger rear drum brakes.

Edmunds says

While mainstream minivans may offer all the latest gadgets, Kia's Sedona continues to stuff all essential ingredients of a family vehicle into a value-priced package.

2005 Kia Sedona EX 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

I have an 05 Sedona and this van is surprisingly the most reliable van I have ever seen. Kia's cars are crap but this van has 306,234 miles on it right now and still runs like the day it came off the showroom floor. The engine is so quiet you can't hear it run and the transmission still shifts like it should. I love the room inside and the seats are easy to remove. I've even hauled my …

2005 Kia Sedona EX 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Bought the van fully loaded: leather, DVD, ABS, moonroof, etc. Comparatively equipped mini-vans were much more expensive. Currently has about 58k miles after 8 years. The brakes went out by 20k miles and the ABS never seemed to work right. Replaced tires with Hankook (factory) tires the first couple of times. The inner walls on the front tires kept wearing out. Went with Michelins the …

Good van

2005 Kia Sedona LX 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Bought the van used in 2009, and other than the required maintenance I never had to fix a thing. I love this van. I put about 75,000 miles on it and it is more reliable than any new car I ever bought.

2005 Kia Sedona LX 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

This Van Currently has 123,000+ miles on it and counting, we've used it to haul all my kids to their games and meets, move their stuff to their college dorms and apartments. We have moved furniture, appliances, taken trips, been all over in it, she's been old reliable. Haven't had any problems with this van, I would buy another one were it not for the fact that in another year I wont …
