Kia redesigned the Sedona minivan for 2015 and gave it bolder styling that resembles crossover SUVs, new seats that offer greater passenger- and cargo-hauling flexibility, a new V-6 engine and a high-end SXL trim level with Nappa leather upholstery.
All models have front-wheel drive, a 3.3-liter V-6 engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. Seats for seven or eight are available, depending on whether the second row has two or three seats. The Sedona competes with the Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, Honda Odyssey, Nissan Quest and Toyota Sienna. New for 2016 A backup camera is standard on all models, and the EX gets standard heated front seats. SX and SX-L models get seats for eight when equipped with the optional Technology Package.
