2020 Kia Sedona review

After a midcycle refresh last year that brought updated styling and added features, the 2020 Kia Sedona zooms into another model year with no significant changes. Motivated by a 276-horsepower V6 that’s paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Sedona is surprisingly quick for a minivan. While it doesn’t have the optional all-wheel drive you find in rivals like the Toyota Sienna and Chrysler Pacifica, the Sedona has light steering, is quiet on the highway, and delivers a comfortable ride, even if the suspension is on the firm side for a family hauler with seating for seven to eight people.

Inside, you’ll find Kia spent a lot of effort making the cabin a spacious and nicely appointed environment in which to spend your time. A seven-inch touchscreen is standard and comes with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Moving up to the SX trim adds a slightly bigger eight-inch screen. A number of active driver-assist features are available, though few are fitted as standard equipment. That said, the 2020 Sedona performs extremely well in crash test safety ratings.
