Kathy R

This vehicle is a very dependable car.

It has lots of room. It delivers a nice smooth ride, and is sharp looking. It is easy to maneuver and easy to handle.

kelly L

How dependable the car is. We have had three Kia's and they have all been great vehicles.

I love my kia sedona! It is reliable, safe and comfortable to drive. I love the automatic doors, removable seats and long warranty.

Laura B

Great vehicle for the price.

We have done regular maintenance of the vehicle which has kept it running smooth. It has great power going to hills and mountains. Only complaint I have is the 3rd row seats only has one spot to connect a car seat. And we have 4 car seats. Overall great vehicle for the price.

Gary L. S

Sedona has a 3. 3 engine and not as snappy as the 3. 5 I had.

Needed a utility vehicle and lots of seating. The Sedona provided that to me. Great for road trips and comfort. This is my third one so I am sold on them! Has Bluetooth and this feature is great when paired to my phone. Rings, just answer and all hands-free.

Lori C

That it has a lot of safety features.

I like that my van has a lot of room, I can carry a lot of items in my van and I also like that I get really good gas mileage with my van. It has an awesome safety rating too.

Amanda B

It drives really smooth and is roomy.

Love almost everything about my van except the fact that the captain seats do not stow and go. That would be more efficient.

Monica L

My car is very roomy even when you have 8 passengers.

I love how roomy it is! Seats 8 with removable center seat. Has heated seats in both rows with automatic sliding doors.

Darcy M

Love that it seats eight for my large family.

Very comfortable fit for eight. Roomy, leg and head room. Reliable and dependable vehicle. Has Bluetooth, CD player, ac and heat. Rear view camera is clear and easy to see. Easy to get in. Leather seats. Great performance on the road. Easy to maneuver on the road. Great tires was able to take on a country dirt road with no problems. Plenty of drink holders for everyone.

Negative Owner Reviews

Janet D

It has electric sliding doors.

I love my car! It has had problems with weird sounds but any car has regular problems. Luckily ours was solved! So I love our car! I would recommend this car for a family who has a big family. Or a family with 6 or less because everyone gets a space. Specifically for family who have 8 or less.

ROSEMARY STALLONE

Needed a transmission at 116,000 miles... Hoping it's going to become a recall issue

I love the interior room, the blue tooth (phone works through the radio), $3700 for new transmission and it took KIA over 7 weeks to fix, only supplied loaner car for 3 weeks, Condensation in tail lenses constantly replacing bulbs, needed an axle 87000 MI

Angela H

Kia is bad at following through with its policies.

I dislike Kia in general. They don't back up their warranty. Everything is made cheap and breaks easily.

Adrea L

Pretty reliable car, I'll buy again.

Center console is very poorly made, plastic that keeps the to open snapped off very easily. I have had this car for almost 10 years and I really haven't had a lot things go wrong. It still runs good. It is pretty comfortable seatings and fabric of the seating is easy to take care of.

katie m

SUV-like Minivan. Safer than most minivans and drives nice

It is large and hard to park. There isn't much storage. The head rest/ seats are not that comfortable. But it rides nice and is reliable and holds lots of people

Donovan R

Comfortable and reliable van.

Super comfortable van with great heating and a/c. The seats are great, the backup cam is convenient and easy to use. The automatic side doors tend to jam, but when they're working they're convenient to use. Plenty of space for a big family. Never had engine issues.

Lisa B

Reliable no-nonsense vehicle.

The van is very reliable, but it is not necessarily a luxury vehicle. The seats are not comfortable on long trips. The driver's side leg room is not adequate. There is like a step on the left hand side by your foot so you cannot stretch out your left leg when driving. The radio also does not have good sound.

Yahaira L

It is very spacious. It has a modern look. A super family friendly car.

It is a gas guzzler. It is only front wheel drive. And it already had a recall.

Sonya A on June 20, 2021

My vehicle only has the 2 captains chairs and that the third row can fold down.

My battery had problems staying connected and when it kept disconnecting, it caused my seat to stay in the up position, closest to the steering wheel. My mechanic has had to put sims on the battery cable so that the connection stays tight; it eventually losses up about every 6-8 months. The design is very poor.

Maridi G on May 15, 2021

Good for traveling/family vehicle.

No problems. It is a well made vehicle and we have had little problems with it since we bought it years ago. It is a very practical car for a family with 3 children. It has been a good car that we have taken on several long trips. There is a lot of room for luggage and room for people too.

Pros from Owners

Jan V.

Very roomy, comfortable, crash report positive when we decided on this model. We feel our grandchildren are safe in this vehicle. A bit pricey. If we bought this model again we would probably by new.

Amy S.

Good gas mileage. Spacious. Rear windows roll down. Plenty of storage room. The eco feature, is great for long trips. Has backup camera..Separate controls for front and rear heating/cooling. Bluetooth capable; hands free phone answering. Good speakers.

Cons from Owners

Jan V.

Driver side blind spot due to trim between front and back doors. Also I can never seem to get front driver side air vents to hit upper body where I want.. Hard to hear in far back row seating but that is not a complaint really. Probably true of most 7 passenger vehicles. Back row seating not as comfy as rest of car.

Amy S.

They look great, but the oddly shaped headlight assembly makes it difficult to change headlight bulb. Low profile tires can present a problem when it has rained a lot. Brake pads seem to wear quickly.

Is The 2015 Kia Sedona A Good Value?

I do not remember the exact cost, but it was a good value. The warranty is very good, which adds value.

Sara W.

$14,000 plus in good condition. Probably as trade in. It has most tech tools to make driving easier. Would have liked at least one second row seat to come out of vehicle.

Serena R.

We bought our Kia Sedona used and paid around 27,000 for ours which we thought was a great deal. Low mileage on it too.

Tony H.

It was 28000. It was bought used. It is a luxurious package so yes a good deal. I would and have recommended Kia

Jennifer S.

It is a very good value. The Kia brand in general is a good price for good vehicles. You can often get good sales and financing options. A perfect choice for middle class families.

Jessica H.

15,000 in 2015 Yeah, it is a great value. It is worth every penny. The car is Comfortable, elegant, compact.
