2020 Kia Sedona Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The minivan market may have shrunk over the last two decades, but there’s still plenty of options: the Honda Odyssey, Chrysler Voyager, Chrysler Pacifica, Toyota Sienna, and Kia Sedona. The Sedona received a refresh in 2018, so it carries over for 2020.
Kia offers only a 3.3-liter V6 that makes 276 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque for the Sedona. An 8-speed automatic transmission carries power to the front wheels. The EPA rates the Sedona at 18 mpg city, 24 highway, and 21 combined.
The Sedona comes in the same L, LX, EX, and SX trims as last year. Standard content includes 17-inch alloy wheels, a 7-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, projector-beam automatic headlights, a 4-speaker audio system, Siri Eyes Free, 60/40 split-folding rear seats with underfloor storage, and 12 cupholders. While 8-passenger seating comes standard, you can choose to delete the bench seat in favor of two plush captain’s chairs, reducing the seating capacity to 7. Other premium features include dual power sliding rear doors, leather upholstery, keyless access and start, rear privacy glass, power front seats, an 8-inch infotainment system, navigation, HID headlights, and 3-zone automatic climate control.
On the safety front, the Sedona’s standard safety features include a reversing camera and hill-start assist. Extra-cost options include forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, driver-attention warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, full-speed adaptive cruise control, and front and rear parking sensors. The Sedona achieved decent crash-test scores when it was evaluated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in 2019. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave the 2020 Sedona a 5-star overall rating.
The 2020 Sedona continues to address the needs of the minivan market with plenty of space, features, and style for the money.
