Good review, but I wish we didn't always see reviews of the top fully loaded trim levels. Most people will probably be buying mid or upper midlevels and it would be useful to see reviews of those vehicles.

İ have NEVER seen a third row review this detailed. I would like your video 1000 times if i could.

I noticed that you're one of the only reviewers that records decibels (dB) in your reviews. Very helpful, thanks!

Just bought the Kia Sedona SE. LOVE IT!

I love the Sedona. It catches my eye. If they had AWD they would be #1 in the segment easily.

Hey Alex! Nice Review. I only watched a minivan review because you have the gift when it comes to making reviews. Keep them coming Bud!

I bought this kia ex trim and get about 27mpg on hwy going 70mph, and avg 22mpg over all city and highway.. FYI Love it!

Very well presented and I believe we have a winner on auto video presentation..very thorough and detailed!! Excellent work AOA 👍

You do an amazing job with your reviews Alex! The most detailed and professional available on KZfaq for sure! Keep up the great reviews.

Such a great review. You got me at the end as I was looking at 3 row crossovers and my husband doesn't want a minivan. This seems like a great compromise, and the price is amazing. THANK YOU for a great review.

I have two friends with Sienna's; one 2010 mid level trim and the 2nd an all wheel drive 2015 top of the line and have driven both. I considered the Sienna and Sedona mainly based upon the looks and bought a 2016 Sedona LX mainly based upon the way it drove, the looks, the price, and the great warranty. The first highway trip starting with under 100 miles on the vehicle resulted in 26 mpg which will probably improve a little after break in and when filled with synthetic oil, all 6.2 quarts. The vehicle is quiet and comfortable to drive and so far, I love it.

We have a 2016 Sedona SX and other than an anoying cv axle noise when accelerating at extreme left or right steering angles, it's a fantastic minivan. I'm going to call it a minivan because it is a minivan. We are heading in for a 3rd pair of front cv axles now with only 35000 km on the van but that's the only real issue we've had in 18 months. It has very accessible fuel economy, plenty if power, very precise handling for a minivan and it's just plain comfortable to be in. It has an excellent climate control system. I would get cols on our Dodge Caravan but the Sedona pumps out the heat. I've found that all the control are intuitive and are of a quality feel. The seats are very comfortable and there is plenty if leg room in all 3 rows. It's a very spacious vehicle and ours is 8 passage to boot. Family road trips are no problem, even if you find yourself taking along some extra people. We won't need a van when we're done with this but if we did, I would have another in a heart beat. I would have to highly recommend this vehicle based on our real life experience. Hope this helps potential van buyers.

Once again, best vehicle reviews period. Unbelievable

Thank you! Great details! You're one of the few who points out the height of the trunk from the ground for loading. That's a big thing! Thanks for the details! Fantastic!😀👍

Holy moly this is a great review. Lots of information with great tempo.

Great thorough review! Love the comparisons at the end. Thanks Alex!

Awesome review ! I like the good and bad all in one review and I like the comparison to other vehicles. Best review A++++

I love your reviews...the best on-line!

very nice looking exterior and love that toggle/roll audio & track control.....best of all mini-vans

Love your detailed reviews. Just wondering where is your review on the 2017 Pacifica?

Great job, but I like the visual pricing on each models. Thank you! Roger

Substantial, organized and easy to follow.

Very thorough and informative review, good job. 👍

Never would have considered Kia 5 years ago but here I am about to buy a minivan and it's between the Sedona SXL with tech package and the Honda Odyssey Touring Elite. I drove both and while then Honda handles slightly better, the Kia isn't too far behind and blows it away in the amount of tech that's included. However, there are still some questionable plastics here and there like the flimsy cover for the top glovebox. Overall good job Kia. They just need to market this more.

Top Notch As always Alex! And keep up the Great work! No one comes close to your work. NO ONE! :)

Very good review!

Great Video very detailed. Thank you curious what was the price of the model you reviewed?

Latest of the Sedona in 2021 prior to the carnival replacement, it has a new 8 speed auto trans, updated dual projector LED headlights, more sleek DRL, updated design on LED taillight housing, upper trims have dual tablet rear seat infotainment, upper trims have double stacked LED projector fog lamps, no more DVD/cd drive but boasts a JBL sound system on upper trims, etc. to me it resembles a Mercedes Benz sedan from the front fascia. Especiallly in black with all the chrome!

Its 2024 & I just bought a 2016 Sedona~ LOVE IT!!!

Great reviews. The lack of stow and go or removable second row seats pretty much kills the Sedona for me.

Thank you for review. We heard a lot of comparison with Pacifica, does it mean you had hands on with it and review is coming soon? Thanks

Great video

omg this is a nice looking van

"Reliability with that continuously variable transmission has been a little bit QUESTionable..." I see what you did there.

4:58 It did not pull the page from Toyota. Kia Sedona/Carnival is very mainstream vehicle in the South Korea and used as Limo/security car, airport pick up, Camper, Family hauler and keep goes on. Most of celeberties in the South Korea use Sedona/Canival as their place of resting living moving their work. Some Sedona/Carnival goes upto or beyond 100k for all the luxuary decked out option as Limo. Alex please do more detailed study.

Great review :)

As a minivan fan: This is my minivan Alex.

Please please please review the 2019 Kia Sedona SX.

Are we going to see a review of the pacifica soon?

how bout comparison to honda oddesey? do u think its better?

Sedona features a nice interior design such as luxury sedan

If I had a Kia Sedona and wanted to haul 4x8 sheets of plywood or drywall, I'd buy a utility trailer for $500-$700 and just tow it. Towing capacity for the Sedona is 3,500 pounds, which would tow a light trailer like that and all of the stuff you could load onto the trailer. If you get to the point where you're not hauling big stuff like that, just sell the trailer.

Alex, what's the name of the color of the Sedona in this video?

Kia Sedona , toyota sienna , honda oddasey , toyota highlander, honda pilot. which 7 seat family car you perfer? which one has the biggest interior room??? thanks

Awesome review☺

The Sedona has the best exterior styling of all the mini-vans on the market. I do wish they had hidden the sliding rail like Chrysler has done and really wish the seats were removable. Not having removable seats pretty much takes this off my list. I don’t need the full length often but I do need it sometimes so… Also while I know everyone says rear seats screens are no longer needed I actually like them as you can plug in a console for long road trips and kids can play together to pass the time. As of now I’m leaning towards the Pacifica although it is pricey. Oddly enough I’m also looking at the new ridgeline as well which would allow me to haul things which would be handy while still being as comfortable and roomy as a Pilot (2 rows of course).

Damn! This minivan is more beautiful than my car. As always, great review.

Anyone know when whe gonna get a Electric Minivan ? I mean they going to sell ton of those .

i would buy this

Thanks Alex, This Kia is not for me if the seats do not come out. Thanks , Mike

Great reviews as always but please push for "mid range models" to review, your clicks would go through the roof.cheers.

Alex, in the LX, and EX trims for the Sedona, there's a 2 way lumbar support, while the SX, and the SXL gets a 4 way lumbar support, while the base model gets manual adjustments?

Take this before any other minivan, but until I see a review of a Metris, this will be it!

Id like a plug in version of this

nice little intro

Alex, could you please start mentioning if the glove boxes are lockable or not.

Would consider if it had a sound diesel for better mileage. Yes, we appreciate sound diesels.

Is it easy for me to change my own spark plugs and oil? Where is the spare tire? How well does it hold its value? Timing belt or chain? One or two catalytic converters? Safety ratings? These are things that I'm looking for.

If Pacifica didn’t have some many mechanical/electrical issues, that would be my choice. For now, I’m sticking with the Sedona.

Nice car

How many USB chargers inside that car mostly in the back?

Does anyone know whether or not the 2nd row windows can roll down?

I don't understand what the US market has against diesel models. My 2011 Sorento diesel goes every bit as well as the 2007 V6 Kluger (Highlander) that I had before it and uses about half the fuel. The Carnival, as the Sedona is called in Australia, also has a CRDI option. As I work for a Kia dealer and have had the opportunity to see the factory in Seoul I'm admittedly biased toward the marque.

When looking at minivans to buy, the Sedona is high on that list... especially with the IIHS top safety pick + with a segment first GOOD grade for that marginal or small overlap crash test... But what no one ever talks about with the Sedona is reliability. Can anyone with experience here share some insight?

Is this van reliable? Thinking of getting a 2016 sedona used with 60k miles on it.

Looks more sophisticated than 2021 Carnival.

I might actually consider a van for trips if a manufacturer would make a true sporty version of one. But the market just isn't there for that.

Kia has came along way

lol Nissan's CVT is quest-ionable. pun not intended but I caught it

really really good van!! But I would still buy Chrysler, no doubt!

Please tell Kia the single reason I won't consider this van is because the seats don't come out. So their market research is not accurate.

👏👏👏

Not much of difference with my 2007 honda odyssey touring model, so much nicer and smoother than even a new one, less the high price of today minivan. It look good though.

Should have shown what it looks like with max cargo area. Also, you spend an inordinate amount of time talking about other minivans, instead of talking about this one van. An occasional comparison is fine, but sometimes you talk about competing models so long it's easy to get confused as to which model you're talking about.

Does every 2015 and up Sedona have rear sunroof?

Why does the US not get the Mercedes V Class? That is the proper Mercedes family van. The Metris would be the equivalent of the Mercedes Vito in Europe and other parts of the world and that is meant more for industrial use or shuttle buses for hotels and things like that. The V Class has a stunning interior. The Metris is a Vito and is more industrial. The V Class is very expensive though but really good. In my country a top spec V Class would cost the equivalent of 64000 US Dollars. A top spec Sedona costs the equivalent of just under 50000 US Dollars for comparative purposes.

The 2nd and 3rd row seats only is so like the 2006 Toyota Estima Hybrid. It's like they're copying Toyota

kia Sedona.

😎😎

Seems.like the Pacifica is.more minivan than the Kia. Id say the pacifica looks good as.well but has more minivan features

I was worry that a bear or some big cat will come out of the wood........ kinda scary

Lost me at the 5000th 3 row crossover

No thigh extenders in top trim like in the Sorento, interesting

This dude stores some strange things in his car...Dog kennels, gallons of milk in the center console...

... a little bit...

Whoever designed this engine needs a huge knot on the head for putting the oil pressure switch under the intake manifold!

Good gawd, I know this is from 7 years ago but, your review is lacking. Also, it’s not a neesaan, it’s NIS-SAN phonetically. You also gotta slow your speech down a touch. I found myself rewinding a lot to catch what you said.

The "Middle Seats" Must Come Out... Bummer... That's a deal breaker... Major Bummer. And 3rd row headroom is horrible... What a drag.

No, the third row is for kids, not for us 6fpot people. Get the sunroof. It will expand your market when you try to sell it after 5 years of use. Go work for Chrysler, that’s all you’ve talked about.

後輪底盤和車殼的公差也太大了吧？

I’m not sure your math is quite right. Must be the imperial system that’s throwing you off…

At this point, just buy a VW Transporter with the 9 seat option.

This video is more average that your 3 row crossover.

If only Pacifica is NOT made by fiat chrysler I will buy it.

135ft! Not an A in the modern world, even for a large vehicle, given the weight.
