The Kia Sedona launched in North America for 2002 and was the first minivan from a Korean brand to be sold in the U.S. Early Sedonas were praised for their value proposition, offering a well-equipped and spacious minivan at a lower price than rivals like the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna. That virtue continued when Kia redesigned the Sedona for 2006 and again for 2015. Despite not being a sales leader in its class, the Sedona established itself as a competent, value-oriented option for family-focused buyers. Kia retired the Sedona after the 2021 model year and introduced the SUV-styled Carnival for 2022 to replace it.
2015-2021 Sedona
Kia reimagined its Sedona minivan for 2015, giving it a dramatic new front-end design that distinguished it in the class. The new Sedona featured bolder styling, a 276-horsepower V-6 engine, and added flexibility with available seating for seven or eight people.
