2020 Kia Sedona

The 2020 Kia Sedona succeeds at blending the style of a crossover with the utility of a minivan. While it’s the only Kia with sliding doors, its stylish shell helps it avoid the dreaded soccer-mom stereotype. Perhaps more intriguing is the Sedona’s value proposition, which undercuts more popular alternatives that are outfitted with similar features. Unfortunately, it does lack the innovative options and flexibility of those same rivals. Still, the Kia has a spacious cabin, smooth ride quality, and copious driver-assistance options. The 2020 Sedona may not be the cream of the minivan crop, but it does boast great safety ratings and a velvety V-6 engine.

What’s New for 2020?

Since Kia gave its minivan a mild makeover the previous model year, the 2020 Sedona carries over unchanged. Although it’s overshadowed by more popular minivans such as the Honda Odyssey and the Chrysler Pacifica, the Kia still delivers a well-rounded package that includes contemporary tech and features.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

With nearly $14,000 separating the top-of-the-line Sedona from the bottom, there’s a variety of features on the table between the two. The base L model is obviously the most affordable and the ultimate SX version has the best of everything. However, we think the Sedona EX represents the best combination of content and value. Unlike the Toyota Sienna, all-wheel drive is not an option. Instead, the Kia makes do with a single V-6 powertrain that turns the front wheels. The EX has a host of agreeable standard equipment that includes leather upholstery, heated front seats, three-zone climate control, wireless charging, and several standard driver assists. These include blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking sensors. The EX also unlocks desirable options such as the Rear Seat Entertainment package that we’d add to help keep the kids content on long trips.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

Smooth and refined, the Sedona’s V-6 is well-matched to its people-moving mission and rarely transmits any harshness into the cabin. Around-town driving is stress free, but hustling the Sedona up to highway speeds requires liberal use of the gas pedal. The Sedona handles competently but doesn’t inspire backroad rowdiness—this is a minivan, after all. Its ride is placid over smooth pavement, but it doesn’t soak up bumpy surfaces the same way the Chrysler Pacifica does. The heft of the steering wheel is weighted perfectly—not too heavy, not too light—and the Sedona is easily maneuverable at parking-lot speeds. It’s a setup we like, even if the steering doesn’t provide a great deal of feedback from the road ahead.

More on the Kia Sedona

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

The Sedona is rated by the EPA at 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway—more or less the same as last year’s model despite the new transmission. We haven’t had the chance to put a 2019 model through our highway fuel-economy testing, but the one we previously tested delivered a respectable (but hardly class-leading) 25 mpg. When compared with our long-term Chrysler Pacifica, which delivered 33 mpg, the Sedona’s performance is disappointing.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

While not as stylish as Kia’s latest interior designs, the 2020 Sedona offers family-friendly features in a spacious cabin. Luxury-minded buyers will want to shoot for the top-spec SX that can be outfitted like a private jet, with reclining captain’s chairs in place of the second-row bench seat. First- and second-row passengers will find plenty of room to stretch out; smaller kids will be fine in the third row, but big kids may feel the pinch. All models come with a two-tone color theme that breaks up what might otherwise be a monotonous black interior. Materials feel like they’re of a high quality, but they could benefit from additional soft-touch wrappers on the armrests and center console. The best seats in the house are in the second row, which can be had with full-on recliner-style captain’s chairs with extendable foot rests, heated seats with leather upholstery, and adjustable airline-seat-style headrests. In our testing of cargo room, the Sedona fell short of all of its rivals by a wide margin due to second-row seats that tilt and slide but cannot be removed. Small-item storage is good, particularly for the front seats, but it still falls short of the Pacifica.

The Car and Driver Difference

Infotainment and Connectivity

Sedona buyers have lots of options in the infotainment department. A 7.0-inch touchscreen system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration is standard, while upgrading to the SX increases the screen size to 8.0 inches and adds navigation with real-time traffic and weather updates; all models come with USB and Bluetooth connectivity. An optional rear-seat entertainment system mounts 10-inch touchscreens to the backs of both of the front-seat headrests.

How to Buy and Maintain a Car

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Overall Safety Rating (NHTSA)

The Sedona earned top marks from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s second-highest award—Top Safety Pick—for its performance in the testing regimens of both agencies. A suite of driver-assistance features is available, but not much is standard and high-tech active-steering features aren’t available. Key safety features include:

• Available automated emergency braking
• Available lane-departure warning
• Available adaptive cruise control

Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

Kia—and its sister company Hyundai—is known for its long, 10-year powertrain warranty and generous five-year bumper-to-bumper coverage. The Sedona beats all comers with its standard policies, but the purchase of a Toyota Sienna includes two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance.

• Limited warranty covers 5 years or 60,000 miles
• Powertrain warranty covers 10 years or 100,000 miles
• No complimentary scheduled maintenance

2020 Kia Sedona

The 2020 Sedona is unchanged from last year, so try to find a deal on a 2019 model if you can, preferably with the optional package that includes active safety tech.

features & specs

The 2020 Kia Sedona provides minivan versatility, but it’s overshadowed by its crossover SUV stablemates.

The 2020 Kia Sedona carries the torch for minivans, even as SUVs and crossovers pass it by. The stylish Sorento and new Telluride make the Sedona a hard sell even in its own showroom.

With the 2020 Sedona, Kia still omits some safety features on base models, a major oversight on a family-friendly vehicle. We award points for its style, comfortable ride, and spacious interior, but take some away for that lack of standard safety tech. At 5.7 out of 10 overall it sits firmly in the middle of the pack among minivans. ( Read more about how we rate cars .)

For 2020 the Sedona carries over completely, retaining its option packages and four trim levels. A sedate exterior and spacious, high-quality interior are among the Sedona’s highlights, but it’s no runway model like the Chrysler Pacifica. While it lacks the interior versatility of rivals like the Pacifica, with its Stow ’n Go seats, the Sedona is vast and quiet inside.

A 276-horsepower V-6 and 8-speed automatic provide decent forward motivation, but fuel economy suffers at just 21 mpg combined. The Sedona is soft and composed in normal driving and features capable handling, but don’t expect anything other than careful handling.

At around $28,500 to start, the Sedona is relatively inexpensive for a minivan, and that base price includes 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. The Sedona EX represents the best value with easy-to-clean leather upholstery, but active safety features like automatic braking and handy options like a power liftgate require an option package that pushes the total price to nearly $40,000. For that money, we’d opt for another minivan—or one of Kia’s fancy new SUVs.
