The 2015 Kia Sedona is about as family orientated as it gets. A clean front end appearance with a more upright Kia grille plus swept-back headlamps and LED running lamps to the sides makes for a welcoming appearance. Practicality took the lead in the Sedona minivan but it still looks good on the road.

2015 Kia Sedona Performance

Powered by a 3.3-liter V6, the 2015 Kia Sedona isn’t exactly a powerhouse, nor is it meant to be. Packing 276 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque, the engine is surprisingly quiet behind layers of sound deadening material. Mated to a six speed automatic transmission, you won’t be passing everyone you see but you won’t be left in the dust either.

2015 Kia Sedona Efficiency

Minivans aren’t about fuel efficiency as much as they are about transporting cargo (kids included). As such, the EX, LX, and L trims all see 18 city/24 hwy mpg. The SX gets a bit higher in highway mileage, posting 18 city/25 hwy. The SX-L is the worst in terms of fuel economy, 17 city/22 hwy mpg.

2015 Kia Sedona Interior

The Kia Sedona minivan’s interior got an update in the form of a horizontal instrument panel with a glossy black trim. Soft touch materials cover most of the upper dash and door trim. Fine detail from higher end models, like the K900, made their way into the 2015 Sedona, both setting it apart but remaining comfortable. Seating for seven, anyone?
