2017 Kia Sedona Customer Reviews

Pros

• Value

  Owned the Kia Sedona for almost 7 years and never had a problem with it. It has the nicest interior in any car I've driven in by far, gets up to 27 MPG on the Highway and can tow a 25 Foot Panga Boat very easily . Rolled a Lawn tractor into the back for transport. Took out the middle seats and had a limo style car with 5 feet of legroom in front of me. Minivans are the most useful vehicles on the road and If I weren't towing a 25 foot Boat ( Boat, Motor, Trailer weigh 2500 pounds, I'd still keep driving a Mini Van. Bought a 2023 Nissan Frontier because I worried I'd damage the frame towing. Most likely it would've been fine, just didn't wanna damage the Van that had a trade in worth $12,000. The Kia Sedona tows great, rides like a car, tons of cargo and you feel like you're driving a truck with how high you sit in this van. Looks more like a Giant SUV with the styling . Just be aware that this generation of Sedona has a direct injection engine and there's a possibility of carbon buildup over time. Engine Retore will clean that up so they claim. Rarely causes any problems. Such a delight driving the Sedona, incredible get up and go , excellent V6 acceleration.

  CarPlay . WAY better than using a vehicles GPS and entertainment system.

  Rated very high. Plus, visibility is superb, and the backup camera has a very wide angle - great for older people who can't spin their heads around like a top.

  Well, I knew it wasn't going to be good, but still somewhat disappointed. I drive 'quickly,' so my around town is only around 16mpg. But highway is good, about 25.

  I wish it did better with gas milage in town.

• Cabin Noise

  Sometimes the people in the back cannot hear the driver talking to them.

  so much room and space for passengers and if you need to move loads like boxes and/furniture.

• Cargo Space

  So much cargo room, removable seats for extra space

• Styling

  Our friand family have had a common observation. It doesn't look like a moni van even though it is. It's sporty looking.

Cons

• Cabin Noise

  Sound system is OK no real issues just road noise seems to overtake the sound

• Technology and Entertainment

  I wish the screen would show my Spotify when connected thru Bluetooth and when plugged in via USB

• Seat Comfort

  seats are comfortable but with the driver seat had more option settings. But nonetheless it's not bad at all
