We have been very impressed. Ride is excellent. Handles like a car. Looks as good as a SUV. We had a 2012 Honda Odyssey Elite previously (lease). This Sedona SX is better. Ride is better. More tech inside. Definitely enjoying the surround view camera, the vented seats, the automatic high beam (useful when driving on a mountain road not having to worry about flipping the lights when paying attention to the curves). These are features not available on another 8 seater minivan currently. Also we like the fact that Kia comes with a much more reasonable warranty. Honda and Toyota both has only 3 year 36K mile warranty - this is low in the industry. And ... to those who says Honda and Toyota don't break ... guess again ... they do! Our 2012 Honda Odyssey had transmission problem - fortunately just before the warranty is up. That is the reason we are not keep it beyond our lease. Very glad with our 2016 Kia Sedona SX right now (8 passenger tech package). The only grip I have is: why Kia doesn't make a 8 seater loaded and with the panaramic sunroof? Our $40K Sedona is loaded - but has no sunroof? Fortunately my wife hates the Sun and does not like to have sunroof. I on the other hand would wish that being available as an option. The SXL comes only in 7 seat. Why? Otherwise we would have bought a SXL. Update: Apparently the SXL comes in 8 seat now. Wish we had known about that. Vehicle still running great. We had been very happy about the purchase. Drives better than our prior 2012 Honda Odyssey with a more upscale interior. I am also happy to read that Kia now has better reliability than Honda according to a 2016 Consumer Reports article. Update: 20K+ miles - still doing fine. The lever used to retract the 2nd row seat fell off. Dealer screwed it back. Other than that - no other issues. Update: 40k+ miles. No issues. Good car. But resale value is poor. At end of lease car value is less than buy out so we decided to turn it back in. Overall MPG prob less than competitors also. Would be a great 3 year old used car at $21k fully loaded with all the tech. Someone will be getting a deal! We got a new 2018 Pacifica Hybrid Limited! Even better car. Look for my review there!

Life long SUV owner makes the Minivan move!

Retired now with young grandkids, the minivan seemed like a logical move, even after untold grief from our adult children, regarding the stigma associated in driving them. Being neither a soccer mom nor what we consider ‘old’ we were on the fence for awhile, but so happy we made the move! We’ve had an SUV since they first debuted, and we were always pleased with the versatility and style of them, from a small CRV to our last, a Lincoln MKX. The decision to try a minivan was based on our decreasing mobility and the height of the vehicle, the comfort of the seats on long trips and the versatility of the cargo space. We love the fact that each passenger has their own AC vent, usb plugs are abundant for the kids and there is plenty of leg room for my husband at 6’2” and for all the sports equipment and lawn chairs we haul most of the year! Safety was by far our most important consideration both for us and our precious cargo- KIA Sedona has an impressive 5 star rating and we feel as safe as is possible. The ride is quiet, it takes bumpy roads much better than my Lincoln did and we are averaging 22 mpg around town, and 24-25 on highway. I will say the one drawback seems to be sluggish acceleration when we are in ECO Mode, so we seldom use that setting on the highway. We have less than 1k miles on the Sedona so far, but we are very pleased with our purchase.

Our 2017 Sedona LX Plus is our 7th van since 1984 and surely the nicest. It now has 28650 trouble free miles on it. I agree ride can be a little stiff on rough roads but it is a pleasure to drive on the highway. Very comfortable seats and quiet ride. Simple and handy controls. Gas mileage on the highway has improved up to 26 MPG with light load. Plenty of power with 276 hp 3.3L six. Have no problem with fact that middle row outer seats are not removable but slide up and stand against front seats. Had a Honda van for 12 yrs that killed my back taking the heavy middle row seats out. So far very happy with the Sedona. Have now had it for four years with no mechanical issues. Has come in handy helping our son with house remodel. Can fit a standard tub or a pre hung exterior door for trips from Home Depot. Update Jan. 2021. No mechanical problems. Actually no problems with anything. Amount of driving muchless than usual due to pandemic. Still like the van very much.

We just purchased the 2016 Sedona SX with the entertainment package and some other options. Wow, first off this minivan has the most quiet ride of all minivans we drove, period!! And it doesn't look like a minivan, it has a bolder stance and just down right cooler looking! Tons of features! Love the cooled seats.. Navigation system is one of the best we have had in any of our cars! Easy to get in and out of with three Children. Memory driver seat is great because my wife is 5' and I'm 5' 10".... This minivan has too many awesome features to list. We purchased this mainly for an extra vehicle and it will used mostly for vacation road trips. The only downside and it's really not a negative is that you may need some time to figure out all the technology that it has. I can predict this will be the number 1 minivan on the market once people give Kia the opportunity. We also have a Kia Optima SXL and it's been perfect in all ways. Will follow up in a few months. Update: after 6 months and only 2995 miles it has been amazing! Two road trips and the highway mpg is great at 25-26. Our three kids watch the built DVD with wireless headsets and then play on xbox 360 while my wife and I can listen to music and talk! Kia did an awesome job with designing this minivan for families!!! Very pleased with this purchase, my wife needed a very safe minivan with technology and this was by far the best on the market! She doesn't drive much, just the kids to school and around our area for shopping. At first she thought it was a little too big, but with the cameras she just loves it. I like it so much that I may sell my Optima SXL and buy another for me. Update after 1 year: This has been an incredible minivan from day one. It is super quiet while driving with very little road noise if any. We have taken it on several road trips and I'm amazed that it gets 26 mpg on the highway! Still enjoy all of the technology and most of all the safety features. We feel very safe while driving this minivan. I really don't have anything negative to report. Go buy one and it's nice to stand out from all on the Honday Odyssey's in the car pool lane. 2 year update: We still love this minivan. It’s been a great vehicle. Recently we had to replace the motors in the power doors, however the warranty covered that issue. This minivan still drives like new and remains a very quiet drive. The highway mpg is very good at 25+ but the city is not good around 14. We will keep this for the long haul!! My wife loves it and that’s what matters!! 3 year update: We have taken this minivan on several road trips and its been great! Highway MPG is always good at 24-26. City MPG could be much better, but its 4500 lbs and really meant for the highway road trips for us. My wife loves it and the family loves it. I would buy another Sedona SX and have two of these vehicles, but the Telluride S or SX looks like my next new vehicle. 4 year update: Our minivan has been incredible for these past 4 years. We would highly recommend the Sedona SX. Everything works and looks like new. We keep it garaged so it looks like we just bought it. It’s still very quiet on the highway with great mpg around 25. We would buy another Sedona before Honda or Toyota because of the quality, reliability and look! No one builds a better looking minivan, no one! Keep up the great work KIA! About to take it to the dealer this morning for an oil change. The Sedona has been great. We only have 22000 miles on it so we can’t speak for high mileage wear and tear. But for the age coming up on 5 years soon, it’s been great. No complaints at all. We are looking for an additional vehicle soon and we’ll probable buy another Kia. Waiting to see what the 2022 looks like.

We have the BEST minivan on the market! We have the Sedona SX Limited with the technology package, dual sunroofs, and all the bells and whistles. Instead of going for the eighth seat we went with the second row with foot rests. We've been on a few road trips already and the foot rests were of great value. The heated and cool seats are amazing! The driver seat contours to my body which makes driving very comfy. I've only been in the passenger seat twice but when I was in it it felt just as good as the driver's seat. The power sliding doors are heaven sent. Also the power life gate is a must if you have children. The leather is very easy to clean spills off of, bonus!! The gas mileage is good compared to other vehicles, city about 19 and straight highway 25-28. Overall this vehicle is a must if you have a family or are starting one. You won't be disappointed with this minivan.
