Good Van. Great Value (if you buy used).

2016 Kia Sedona LX 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 6A)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful
Bought the van with 33,000 miles for $17k. The car drives nice, performs well and is comfortable. The only thing about the van that is not great is it audio system. We now have 40,000 miles on it & it has had both of its motors replaced for the sliding doors ( via a recall). When we bought it last year consumer reports had its reliability rating and 5/5. For some reason, consumer reports now has it rated as a 3/5 for reliability. We will see how this particular van plays out for us. I will continue to update you folks. Update June 2022: 50k miles and absolutely no issues. We bought some michelin defender tires for it and they are much better than the original Korean tires. Fantastic vehicle!

With small kids this is a dream. I previously had a 2015 Dodge Journey and I'll tell you what, the Sedona is a luxury ride compared to that. The Sedona has so much room, easy to get my kids in and out of car seats, the air conditioning works excellent in the back seats which is so important for me since I live in Phoenix, AZ. We have the 8 passenger, so we never need to have the rear seats up and that leaves up with a lot of cargo room. It rides smooth, handles nicely and is comfortable. My only complaints are, I already had one of the motors replaced on the rear sliding door. (mine is a 2016 with 18,000 miles) Without a warranty it would have been over $1,000 at the dealership I went to. Also, The sound system is beyond cheap.. totally poor quality & there is no navigation and no power lift-gate (which I feel should be standard on a minivan) All in all my husband and I were those people that said we would never drive a mini van yet we are both bummed we didn't purchase this before we wasted money when we bought the dodge.

I would get the 2016 Kia Sedona. It is an awesome car. It has the highest safety standards. Very comfortable. The blind spot detection, rear view parking camera, and rear cross traffic alert are a must when you drive a minivan. It does not have navigation, but you can get it on Amazon and hook up on your car without any difficulties for $130. One thing my wife loves about the Kia Sedona is that it is not as ugly as the Toyota Sienna or Honda Odyssey. I have not driven a Honda or Toyota equivalent, but I like the Kia Sedona because of the price and its highest safety ratings. I think a Toyota or Honda equivalent is around $3000 more than the Kia Sedona. Korean technology is going to be one of the best in the world. It will be ranked in the top 4 with the United States, Japan, and Germany. Already, Korea has the best wireless technology in the world since many of the components in the Apple iphone is made by the Samsung group. Koreans are a very jealous people. Kia does want to be like the Samsung group as a global renowned company in automobiles manufacturing. I am very sure Kia will catch up with Honda and Toyota in a short time frame. I saw the Tesla Model X for $150,000. This is the only model which can fit my family of 4. It is 5 to 7 times more expensive than the Kia Sedona. I am spending about $60 per month in gasoline expenses. Let's say I spend $1000 per year on gasoline to make the math easier. If I continue to drive my Kia Sedona for 100 years, the Kia Sedona + gasoline is still a better bargain compared to the Tesla. This is extremely sad even though the gas mileage for the Kia Sedona is around 15 to 20 miles per gallon. (updated - no problems for 4 years 7 months)

I think this automobile is well thought out and well-built, so far a joy to own and operate! I like the interior style and trim. Maybe I will get asked for an update on my review in 10K miles and I will have a different opinion. For now, it has enough good stuff to make me feel like I was smart to buy a Kia, and this was a good pick. It seems solid plus I also like that JD Powers has been tracking quality metrics and it has trended up and up and is right up there with the the top the 4 BEST in class. That means Kaizen and Six Sigma. That means serious business. Update 3-17: Not even 3k miles yet, still love it. Update 9/17- Just over 5.5k now, I like the GDI motor. Have been camping a couple of times, that is one of the reasons we wanted a mini-van. It holds a lot of stuff! Update 3/18 Still like my van very much. Built in diagnostics have never indicated any issues. Still like the ride!

This is by far the best family vehicle we have ever owned. It is so roomy with tons of storage. We love the front console, kids love the captain's chairs. It got great mileage on our last road trip, and performed well in snowy and icy conditions. The only "con" if you can call it that, is that stock DVD/Entertainment systems are not available through Kia. However, we made the best of it with our portable devices. The Sedona was so much more affordable than the competitors. This is overall a great purchase. Seriously parents, if you are doing the van vs SUV thing (I did), this will by far exceed your expectations with style, comfortable seating, mileage, storage and lower insurance rates. Happy shopping.
