2007 Kia Sedona Unknown

Kia, a division of Korean automaker Hyundai, redesigned the Sedona minivan in 2006 and reviewers find the current model to be a significant improvement over the previous one. "The new Sedona minivan is better in almost every way than the first-generation Sedona," says AutoWeek. The majority of the praise goes to the Sedona's award-winning safety equipment, the powertrain warranty and Kia's willingness to put features in the base model that would ordinarily be available as extra-cost options. Reviewers are less enthusiastic about the vehicle's performance and appearance, but many find the Sedona an acceptable alternative to its rivals in the minivan market. "[T]he new Sedona actually stacks up admirably against many of its competitors," says the Detroit News, "including safety leaders such as the Honda Odyssey.", , Several reviewers feel that the price is right. "For consumers interested in a quality minivan at a very agreeable price," says Edmunds, "the Sedona is well worth the consideration." U.S. News reviewer Rick Newman adds that "Kia is selling value, not sex appeal, and the Sedona shows that the Korean automaker understands its mission well." Consumer Guide awards the Sedona its "Recommended" status. Motor Week gives it a Driver's Choice Award as "Best Minivan,"
