It is good quality for the amount we paid for it, meaning Kias are much less money than other minivans but their quality very comparable to the other minivans.
We travel a lot of lacrosse tournaments, there is lots of room for everything. It also has a lot of pickup and doesn't drive like a regular minivan. Seats are very comfortable and it gets decent gas mileage.

I love that the fact that everything is electric. It has a TV/DVD player.
I have not experienced any problems with my vehicle. Other than the gas cap not wanting to open. Luckily there is an emergency release in the trunk. That is the only issue we have encountered which I find to be awesome. And I absolutely love my vehicle.

Space in the vehicle is fantastic for the size.
The space is great I can change the inside to seat up to seven people and still have room in the back to store beach wares or suit cases. The seats fold down very easy and pull back into place with little effort. Handles like a car. And there is enough windows makes it easy to see traffic. Has a six cylinder so pickup is very good for highway driving. Mileage is around 27 mile per gallon in the city and highway I get about 31 mile per gallon which is very good for a minivan.Have the two front doors and two sliding doors which make it very easy when shopping to load groceries in the side and unload when I get home. With sliding doors can pull up close to unload love that conveniences with helping some seniors in my community.

Even though it sits 7, it's pretty big on the inside and offers lots of room for people of all sizes.
I love that it fits our entire family. It's comfortable and drives smoothly. It has multiple environmental controls which is highly useful since my husband likes his face to freeze while he's in the van. There's plenty of trunk space. OH! And the backup camera is so much more useful than I ever thought something like that could be. So far, I don't have anything I don't like about it.

Perfect vehicle for a family to enjoy.
Low maintenance, roomy,. Dual a/c, seats 7, removable seats, extra safety features, smooth ride. Cruise control, tilt steering wheel. Nice for a family. Sliding doors,. Cup holders,. Power windows, abs. Easy to get in and out of. Did I mention that it is a smooth driving vehicle with all the features.

Very good car. Cozy car. You could take this car anywhere.
I love my car, it is so nice, very good quality seats. Whenever I go on road trips, my car makes my road trip feel a lot smoother. When I drive my friend around, they love the quality of my car!

We feel safe and comfortable wherever we travel in our Kia Sedona ex van.
The Kia Sedona is a rare vehicle in the u. S. As I recall there were only 1500 in all of the u. S. In 2015. Our Sedona is fully equipped except for the GPS navigation system. The reason we didn't get that option was because we have several handheld GPS units. This enables us to instantly find our van in a large crowded parking lot. Kia's mission is to have a safe vehicle. One option we like very much is the Bluetooth connection to our phone. With all the problems and accidents with people talking on the phone while driving this is a plus. It is hands free with controls on the steering wheel. When you receive a call just flip the switch and you answer the phone and you speak in a normal voice and receive the incoming call over the radio speakers. When the call is completed you can flip the switch to disconnect or if the calling party hangs up first you do nothing. The abs system is great, and you have complete control of the vehicle when stopping. Of course, the vehicle functions are all computer monitored. At a glance you can tell how much gas you have and the computer will tell you how many miles you can drive before refilling. The tachometer helps you keep the vehicle running efficiently. The window sticker says the gas mileage is 17 city and 24 on the highway, but by adjusting your driving habits and using the cruise control we've been able to get 30 mpg on long trips. The one thing my wife enjoys is the comfort and convenience group available on our ex model. She especially enjoys the heated seats in the winter. The interior is designed for easy upkeep and is very attractive. All in all the vehicle is easy and comfortable to drive and is quiet. In the time we've had it we have had no problems, and the Kia service department is friendly and checks everything when we bring it in for our oil changes.

It is a reliable car with lots of space.
I like the space. I like the rear warning beeps. I like the bluetooth included. I don't like that the seats are not that comfortable. I wish the carpet was easier to clean.

Kia minivan sliding doors do not go back far enough. .
Reliable, comfortable, has a recall. Sirius XM radio. Would rather have another truck. It is fast roomy, lot of features. Like the white color it is cool in summer.
accountCircle Marg C
There are computer issues and a few recalls in the first two years of purchase.
Dislike: we had multiple problems in the first two years of owning the vehicle. Computer shut down while driving on the interstate, air conditioning stopped working, battery died twice. Like: spacious.
accountCircle Lisa T
Power doors are very convenient.
I love the automatic doors. Makes it really easy to load/unload passengers and packages. Comfortable ride. Reliable. Good sound system. Love the navigation system. Very helpful! The inside is quiet although you can sometimes hear road noise/wind when the widows don't roll up all of the way. The side view mirrors no longer automatically adjust by using the button on the inside. I commute to work and have had to replace my windshield twice since purchasing the van in 2016. Not sure if that is a defect or just as a result of my commute on a freeway with many semi trucks.
accountCircle Brittney L
My Kia review. Many perks and downfalls.
I think the main problem with my car is that it is a bit small for me personally. I like to have a bigger space for all my personal items and room for my family. It is performance is pretty good. I have driven many other cars and I like the one I have right now. All the features are pretty standard for any car. I have gotten used to everything even though it is a bit outdated-- it gets the job done. Overall, I think this car is very good for one of my first cars and it is reliable.

It is very comfortable to drive on long trips.
I like the comfort of the vehicle for long trips and seating capacity. I have 4 kids. I like fuel economy and rear storage.
accountCircle Dana C
Great. Beautiful coloring.
Sometimes the wipers break BC the way the motor runs on the glass on the windshield, I also think the muffler is too loud, the interior is absolutely beautiful and the exterior is sleek looking. Carpets get stained too easily and the leather is still holding up which is good.
accountCircle Sandra V
Economically good. Nice riding vehicle.
Reliable good gas mileage. Nice model, comfortable for a small sedan. Motor has ran good with keeping up with regular oil changes,& always checking fluids. No major breakdowns, tires were good paint job good interior has held up well. Kia seems to be excellent car.
accountCircle Madelyn G
Ever seen a car that has more cup holders than seats?
Like the trunk it's very spacious. Like the middle seat and how it folds up and down. It has a lot of cup holders but wish it had more ports to charge phones.

Burning smell coming from engine, engine coolant loss had to fill many times can't find out where it's leaking from. Valve covers are leaking oil. Front blower motor overheating in the wiring pigtail. Had to replace a resistor for blower motor. Had work done by the dealership before does it seem as though they want to do their job. Their complaint is the only have one mechanic that's not my problem. The vehicle has had motor work done by the dealership and it's something about a hood latch and and the evaporative emissions was bad was stress cracks in it there's more sliding doors don't want to close and open properly don't think that was still fixed right.

Review on 2014 Kia Sedona.
It is really great. I love the gear shift. I love the crude control on it. It is good on gas. Very reliable car overall. The seats are also lovely in it. Easy to clean. Easy to drive. I let one of my friends drive it and she said it is easy to drive as well.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Julie L.

I love the amount of space it has. The seats are very easy to adjust to make more or less space. It's a smooth ride and I enjoy driving it. The one issue I have is driving in snow or sleet conditions. It does not handle well and next season I may need to get snow tires. I really miss having 4 wheel drive and didn't feel as comfortable with just front wheel drive.

likeFilled Bill W.

The Kia Sedona is roomy, powerful and Has a very comfortable ride. The EX package includes leather seats and a variety of features that make for a very pleasurable driving experience. The size of the Sedona allows us to travel with 7 people comfortably, or, with the rear seats folded, transport cargo or a large amount of luggage.

likeFilled Jennifer H.

Lots of legroom and cargo space! Comfortable seats. Seats 7 very comfortably. Easy to drive, good vision for driver. Seats fold down easily to make hauling large items even easier. 2nd row windows go down. Lockout controls for driver.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Julie L.

The cons I just stated were driving in the winter with bad weather. I was all over the road and didn't feel safe at all. Really missed my 4 wheel drive vehicle and will have to get snow tires next year if I plan on keeping this car.

dislikeFilled Bill W.

The 2014 Kia Sedona uses a little more gas than other vehicles. This is most likely due to the size and powerful engine. Otherwise I am hard pressed to find any other flaws. It does have a small amount of road noise that is noticeable at highway speeds. Some of this is due to the tires, but some is inherent in the vehicle.

dislikeFilled Jennifer H.

Bad blind spot and no spare tire or donut. I truly love this van so I am having trouble finding more cons. It is large so some might have trouble driving. Not easy on gasoline. Nothing to grab ahold of if you are short and getting in front passenger seat.

Is The 2014 Kia Sedona A Good Car?

It is a absolutely great vehicle. Drives well even with being 5 years old. Great gas mileage. Runs smoothly. I have no problems whatsoever. It still rides as if it were brand new.
Tameka S.
Oh yeah. The storage capacity for the cost is the best value. I like the gas mileage we get. It rides well and I have no regrets about becoming a minivan driver.
Daniel V.
Yes. This is a great roomy vehicle full of excellent features. We love it and have had kids now for 13 years.
Alex G.

How Reliable Is The 2014 Kia Sedona?

This is a very reliable van. I have not had 1 problem with this vehicle over 5 years that I have had it. I have kept my oil changes and filters traded out. No problems whatsoever!
Tameka S.
Totally reliable with the driving and maintenance. Sometimes the backup camera doesn't register on when we put it in reverse.
John S.
No major problems. The only maintenance we have had to perform on the Kia Sedona is routine the changes, oil changes, and other routine maintenance.
Alexa P.

Is The 2014 Kia Sedona A Good Value?

The cost of the Kia is a good price. It was priced at $28,000 but unfortunately my credit was bad at the time and I ended up paying over $40,000 which is highway robbery.
Tameka S.
Definitely a good value. Anything newer jumped up in price and other brands are unnecessarily more expensive
Rebecca R.
We got our used q work 12000 miles on it for pretty cheap. I think it was about 17000. But I am not sure. I know it was a great deal.
