My Kia will beat your pacifica any day.
I have only had it for 6 months. I love Kia. I think it is great value for the price and performs as well if not better than the more expensive name brand vans. The back up camera is huge and the touch screen is easy to work. Runs very smooth and is very roomy for my 5 children.

Comfort and beauty, dependability at its best!
This is the third Kia Sedona we have owned. The Kia Sedona is a great minivan. It gets reasonable gas mileage and is very comfortable, even on long trips. We have never been stranded along the road, nor have we ever had to worry about it is performance along the way. The automatic sliding side doors and rear hatch are handy time savers. The air conditioner keeps us cool in the summertime and the heated seats keep us cozy in the winter. The look and feel are impressive. Dependability alone will keep us looking at Kia's for the foreseeable future.

Kia Sedona for the value and win.
The Sedona is awesome. The second row lifts very easily for access to the third row seating. We have the leather seats and they are incredibly comfortable and great for long drives. The windshield has a nice broad shape and the vehicle has almost no blind spots. One of my favorite features is the rearview mirror that will mute the drivers headlights shining into your eyes at night. It handles wonderfully, our previous van was a Toyota sienna and the Kia handles much better. I can do just about everything from my steering wheel, which is very convenient and helpful. My whole family loves our new Kia Sedona!

A great family car that hauls a bunch.
A very reliable car that carries quite a bit of stuff and people. Both the second and third row folding seats are really well designed so they are easy to get into position. The power and handling is not great, but it is what you would expect from a minivan.

Car for family or a big group of 8. Also is a spacious car.
This vehicle is very good for family trips, has space for passengers up to 8 people, including the driver. Also if you are going shopping with only 2 people the trunk is able to make more space by folding the passenger seats. The passengers at the far back are able to fold their seats backwards and lay back, not all the way. Passenger doors can be automatic or manual depending on which one you want.

Kia Sedona lx - handles well with easy seat reconfiguration.
I really enjoy driving this van, it handles very well. It does not take much effort to reconfigure the van from passenger mode to cargo mode, the 3rd row folds down into the floor, and the 2nd row 'sits up' against the first row with an easy tug of a lever (however, when the seat is 'sitting up' it does take up a bit of your potential cargo room).

I absolutely love my Kia!
Amazing minivan. Both comfortable and luxurious. I wouldn't drive any other minivan! This is my daily driver and has enough room for my big family and tremendous trunk space as well! I love all the safety features included in my model. It helps make driving a bigger car a lot more comfortable.
accountCircle Thomas B
Roomy and sporty good for hauling family or cargo.
It has automatic side doors, heated leather seats, drives really well. Holds up to 8 passengers. Back up camera comes in handy. Side mirrors have detectors that let me know someone is in my blind spot. Seats fold to make for plenty of room to store or carry things.

Bad paint.....Do not buy
My van has less then 20,000km on it and is only 10 months on the road. I just had to have a 2600 paint job done to repair the paint that has come off my car from what the company is calling environmental issues related to Canadian weather. Well the new paint job is less than 1 week old and I can already see signs that I am going to have the same issue again....in the middle of summer (no salt and gravel on the roads now). I spent 40,000 dollars on what will essentially be a rust bucket by the time it is paid for unless I sink what will amount to approx. 15,000 more in paint to keep on top of it. The problem is not just with this model. Multiple models seem to be affected and Kia is not owning up to the issue as a defect.

I didn't want a minivan. And now I am really happy that we got one.
It runs and performs great. It drives perfect.. The gas mileage is good on it. All the seat belts work good.. Only complaint is the middle seats won't fold down like the back ones do. Wish the back windshield wiper was a little bigger. And some tow racks on the top would have been great. Other than that it is everything we wanted.
accountCircle Sherri B
Kia has good and bad points.
Rides terrible... Had to get new tires already.... There he something wrong that it wears tires this soon and no it is not out of line. Inside comfort is good. Does not have automatic back door which is a huge pain. Does have 8 passenger though. Good visibility and power doors everywhere else.

HORRIBLE RADIO RECEPTION!!!!!!!!!
YOUR COMPANY NEEDS A MUCH BETTER (ANTENNA)!!!!!!!!!MY WIFE AND I LEASED 2 KIA's FEBRUARY 2019.
accountCircle Jenna S
It is a very nice car and I recommend it.
I like it because it is comfortable to drive and I like the style but the gas is too expensive and I have to fill it up twice a week. It is good for long drives and can even sleep in here because it is so comfortable. I like to take it to drive to the beach and go to work.

I love my Kia Sedona. I’d only change a few things.
I enjoy my Sedona. I wish it had button close back hatch which would make it easier when my hands are full and when my children need the door close. I have the entertainment package which included a DVD player. It had the screen on the headrests which is nice as long as you have 1 or 2 people watching. I have 5 children and it would be easier for the one screen on the ceiling of the car. But overall I like my van and for the price I’d purchase it again.

Family car. Great for several people using technology and long distance travel.
First, this is my 2nd Kia Sedona. I had such a good experience not only with the brand of car, but the Kia warranty. I need a lot of space for my family and we can fit 8 people comfortably when necessary. The cargo space is also essential for luggage, packages and two big dogs. The ride is so smooth, almost aerodynamic. The seats are comfortable and the legroom is great. There are many options for personalized seating and the height of the charge. Appreciate the seat warmers, and the string air conditioner which is needed. There are a ton of drink holder, as well as storage space and several phone chargers,

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Jessica S.

It is very roomy. I am able to have enough space for everything we need. We also have enough space for bringing people with us. I also like the apple car play. It makes it much safer driving and using some of my phones features. Also I like the power doors which make it very convenient with the kids.

likeFilled Alyssa R.

The pros of my vehicle are that there's plenty of room for the kids and dogs. The gas mileage is pretty great too. I also like that I have Apple Carplay once I connect my iPhone which allows me to easily make phone calls and play songs.

likeFilled Christelle H.

Back up camera. Does not have the foot option to open the trunk. I like that you can pick a drive mode. It has an alert if you are trying to pass and there is a car in your blind spot. The seats fold down.

likeFilled Jessica S.

It can sit 8 people and it has an entertainment system. It is very spacious and is able to have a lot of storage space. It also has apple carplay which allows it to hook up to my phone easily. Also the power doors are perfect for when your hands are full.

likeFilled Monica R.

It is easy to drive. It is also economy efficient. Driver seat comfortable very spacious 2nd row of seats and 3rd row has great room for legs. Air conditioning is independent in the back which is great for families.

likeFilled Felicia H.

The pros of this vehicle is that it is not too big to where it's hard to maneuver, but it is not too small to the point there's no space for anything. Another thing I like about this vehicle is that it has Bluetooth, and icar which allows you to connect your phone to the car so you do not have to touch it while you are driving.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Jessica S.

I miss my heated seats. We had them in our first van and it was the same timeline. They took it out of this one. I also was limited in the colors I was able to choose from. We were looking for a blue van. Also, I wish there was a power liftgate. This was a feature I was hoping to have.

dislikeFilled Alyssa R.

The cons of my vehicle are that it is rather large and I work in a very urban area with a very small parking lot which can sometimes get cramped, and it is hard to navigate. I also do not like that I cannot use voice detection unless I have apple carplay hooked up.

dislikeFilled Christelle H.

It's hard to figure out how some of the settings work. The back seats are a little too tall to see when you look over your shoulders. No option to open the trunk with your foot. There is no built in place to put your phone.

dislikeFilled Jessica S.

I do not like that it does not have a power liftgate. This would be a much more beneficial feature. I also wish the middle seats folded into the floor instead of having to be removed. This would be more convenient.

dislikeFilled Monica R.

It is a little high from the floor. The spare tire is very difficult to get it is on the outside side of the van, under the 2nd row. I cannot imagine changing the tire if it is raining or laying on the ground in the 100+ heat in Texas.

dislikeFilled Felicia H.

Their really is not anything I dislike about this vehicle honestly. The only thing I may dislike about it is that the seats in the back that you are able to pull up are hard to work and usually need two people.
