For The Sedona has more power than many rivals and provides good space for seven. All models are well equipped and include sliding side doors.
Against The auto gearbox is unresponsive and the seats must be removed to make full use of the available space. It's also not as classy or as good to drive as the class leaders. It's thirsty, too.
What Car? says
Good at moving people, but can't match the best rivals for cabin flexibility, road manners or running costs.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
Buying a model with the V6 petrol engine may be the cheapest way into a Sedona, but we'd advise against it. The diesel has a little more pull at low revs, as well as much better economy and lower emissions. Its residuals are better, too. No matter which model you look at, you'll find it has decent equipment levels, and we think the basic GS gives you everything you need.
True, it has no alloy wheels and makes do with air-con rather than the more complicated climate control, but a Sedona is a tool to do a job, and it can do that job perfectly well without these luxuries.
Unlike some more modern Kias which have better cover, the Sedona has just a three-year warranty, as well as a six-year anti-perforation warranty. However, for that to remain valid, the car must have an annual bodywork inspection - and you may need to pay for that.
