2020 Kia Sedona Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Distinctive SUV-like cockpit design
Lots of features for the money
Cabin remains pleasantly quiet on the highway

ConsWhat's new

The latest SUV advertising campaigns might say otherwise, but there is perhaps no better vehicle for a family than a minivan. The 2020 Kia Sedona is one of those minivans. It boasts a long list of standard and available features, SUV-like styling and a comfortable, well-built interior. Even though this current generation has been around since 2015, the Sedona can still hold its own against the latest crop of family-friendly haulers such as the Chrysler Pacifica, Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna.

The Sedona also has one of the most intuitive infotainment systems around, plus a full complement of advanced driving aids available on midtrim models. The Sedona doesn't have any fatal flaws either, though it does have a slightly rougher ride and a little less cargo space than competitors. Overall, it's worth checking out, especially if value is a priority for your next minivan purchase.

What's it like to live with?

This version of the Kia Sedona debuted in 2015. Edmunds added one to our fleet for a one-year test that covered more than 20,000 miles. We liked the Sedona, though it lagged behind competitors in some areas, especially fuel economy. Kia has since made some improvements, but most of our observations from that test still apply to the 2020 Sedona.

Which Sedona does Edmunds recommend?

The EX trim strikes a good balance between features and price. Standard equipment includes leather seats, wireless charging, and a host of driver aids not available on the L and LX trim levels. For even more features, the EX Premium package really dresses up the Sedona and still manages to come in at a lower price than the top-of-the-line SX.

Kia Sedona models

The 2020 Kia Sedona is available in four trim levels: L, LX, EX and SX. All Sedonas are powered by a 276-horsepower 3.3-liter V6 engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

L
Starts you off with:

17-inch wheels
Seven-passenger seating
7-inch infotainment touchscreen
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
Four-speaker audio system

LX
Adds features such as:

Six-speaker audio system
Tinted side and rear windows
Power-sliding doors
Eight-passenger seating
Power-adjustable driver's seat

EX

Three-zone climate control system
Leather seats
Wireless charging
18-inch alloy wheels
Heated front seats
Front and rear parking sensors
Blind-spot monitor (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
Rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle behind you is about to cross your vehicle's path while in reverse)

EX Premium package
Bridges the gap between the EX and the range-topping SX. Features on this package include:

Power-folding, heated mirrors
Chrome exterior trim
Sunroof
Hands-free liftgate
Auto-dimming rearview mirror
Driver-seat memory settings
Four-way power lumbar adjustment for driver's seat
Power-adjustable passenger's seat

Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Sedona and the car in front)

SX
The SX is the most luxe Sedona available. Starting with the EX's contents, it adds:

EX Premium package
LED headlights
Eight-speaker audio system
Ventilated from seats
Heated steering wheel
8-inch infotainment touchscreen
LED headlights
Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Sedona and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

5/5 stars, BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK!!!

MisterM, 10/09/2019

EX 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 8A)

I have driven and own mostly Honda and Toyota vehicles. Just sold my 2015 Subaru Forester because it has a really weak four cylinder engine and burned a lot of oil so I was very disappointed. I started looking for a new vehicle so I test drove a LOT of cars and mini vans out there from Toyota, Honda, Chrysler, Hyundai, Subaru Ascent and others, you name it. I made a really bad mistake

2/5 stars, Sedona or Sienna

Gary, 06/27/2020

EX 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 8A)

I looked hard at both vehicles. I ended up buying the Sedona for so many reasons. It had all the bells and whistles for about 6 thousand less. I had read the reviews on the vehicle and they stated the ride is stiff and the ride can be bumpy. Shame on me for not doing a good long test drive. The ride was so stiff and you will feel every single bump. It was so bad it aggravated my back. I

3/5 stars, 8 Speed Transmission Problems

Brandon F. , 08/13/2020

SX 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 8A)

We went with the Kia Sedona over the Toyota Sienna because of the extra features for less. I wish I had done a longer test drive because the transmission has a serious flaw. When accelerating from a stop it shifts back and forth between gears causing it to shake, almost like the engine is misfiring. I was an auto technician for several years, so driving a brand new vehicle with this

4/5 stars, Great Value in a Minivan

AP, 09/02/2020

EX 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 8A)

This minivan should be considered by anyone who is in the market for a minivan. It has most of the "bells and whistles" of the more expensive brands, without the price tag. Plus, it's the best looking minivan on the market - it doesn't look like a spaceship or giant egg on wheels!

2017 Kia Sedona Expert Rundown Review

BRYN MACKINNON: I'm Bryn MacKinnon, and this is an Edmunds expert rundown of the 2017 Kia Sedona. As minivans go, the 2017 Kia Sedona is kind of a breath of fresh air. The crossover inspired styling is one thing that sets it apart, and there's also a burly v-6 under the hood that gives you quick acceleration when you need it. As expected from Kia, you get a lot of features for your money. And then there's Kia's excellent warranty coverage for extra peace of mind. What's the catch? Well it's not really a catch, but subpar fuel economy is the price you have to pay for that quick acceleration. There's also a bit less cargo space than you get in rival vans. Inside the Sedona you'll find plenty of rear passenger space. Although the second row seats don't do neat things like Chrysler's Stow 'n Go seats for example. So you lose a little versatility there. Up front, look at how the center console rises up between the seats and connects with the dashboard. That's another SUV like element that distinguishes the Sedona from its unabashedly vanney rivals. We like Kia's touchscreen, by the way. It's simple to use and responds quickly to your taps. The bottom line is that Sedona's got a vibe all its own. And that's pretty impressive for a minivan. Of course, you got to check out the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna if you're in the market for a minivan. And the new Chrysler Pacifica is another strong rival. But the Sedona is right in the mix and well-worth a test drive. For more Edmunds expert rundowns, click the link to subscribe.

Kia Sedona vs. Chrysler Pacifica

The Chrysler Pacifica is a solid pick for a minivan. It's easy to fold its second-row seats into the floor, allowing you to switch your family-hauling minivan into a cargo van in just a few minutes. You can also get the Pacifica with all-wheel drive. The Sedona counters by offering more advanced driver safety features as standard, plus a longer warranty.

Compare Kia Sedona & Chrysler Pacifica features

Kia Sedona vs. Honda Odyssey

The Honda Odyssey has been at the top of our minivan list for some time. We like its thoughtful design, comfortable ride and high-quality interior. Special features, such as an available vacuum cleaner and a rear cabin camera, add to the desirability of the Odyssey. But it's more expensive than the Kia Sedona.

Compare Kia Sedona & Honda Odyssey features

Kia Sedona vs. Toyota Sienna

The Sienna's strong V6 engine and smooth ride quality make it a comfortable minivan for extended road trips. Like the Pacifica, the Sienna is available with all-wheel drive, making it an excellent option for buyers living in the snow belt. For all-around value, however, you might like the Sedona more.

Should I lease or buy a 2020 Kia Sedona?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
