Overview & Reviews

Minor upgrades are in store for the Sedona in its second year on the market. On the outside, buyers will find new taillights, and in the cabin, you'll note a new audio faceplate and a remote fuel-door release. The LX model gets a CD player, while the EX now comes with two keyless remotes, as well as additional leather on the armrests and lower portions of the seats. A trailer hitch is now available for all Sedonas.

• Excellent value, lots of cupholders and storage bins, solid build quality, good crash test scores, lengthy warranty coverage.

• Hefty curb weight, below-average gas mileage, missing a few key minivan features, potentially expensive to repair in minor collisions.

  You get a lot of bag for the buck. - 2003 Kia Sedona
  By Ron Harris - December 27 - 2:00 am

  We looked at the economy Chevy minivan and the LX Honda Odyssey and we still could not afford to buy them (even with a GM family discount). We needed a vehicle that could carry two children and ALL the stuff that goes with them. Once I read about the Sedonas crash testing and that it was affordable we decided to test drive one. It was perfect for what we needed. Finally, a company out there realized that there is a market for a affordable minivan for budget minded families. Thank you KIA.

  Good Value - 2003 Kia Sedona
  By CGreen - October 9 - 10:00 am

  Have put 1,200 miles on it so far - No REAL PROBLEMS - door hinge bolt came loose on the drivers door - 14mm - 10 seconds to fix myself. We were going to buy an Odyssey - looked at these for fun - drove it home ! if you are considering the honda - you owe it to yourself to check these out.

  We were pleasantly surprised with our new KIA Sedona and were so excited that we took it 2 days after buying it on a long (500+ mile trip). Gas mileage on the highway was better than advertised and although we were leery of KIA and the Sedona being so new we were favorably impressed with its features comfort and handling.

  Best decision in a long time... - 2003 Kia Sedona
  By AF_Dad - February 25 - 2:00 am

  Extensively researched minis for a WHILE, and simply could not find a better value. Got an EX loaded to the gills with every option and paid less than a stripped Odyssey. With a much better warranty to boot. Build quality similar to my old Cherokee, which is saying something. Totally satisfied so far, but of course time will tell the rest.

  2003 Sedona - 2003 Kia Sedona
  By Rick S. - February 2 - 6:06 am

  I found the Sedona very comfortable to drive. I liked the overall styling of it, but I wish it would have had a bigger trunk area for luggage or groceries.The gas mileage could be better, over 20 mpg would be nice. The Sedona handled very well on dry or wet roads and we havent had any problems with it other than normal maintenance. The safety rating was a big factor in our decision to buy it and I would buy another.

  Great van! - 2003 Kia Sedona
  By Soccermom - January 29 - 12:00 pm

  We have 4 kids (including a newborn in a carseat), 3 boys into soccer and we love this van. I agree, they could make the seats easier to remove/reinstall, and the exterior does dent easily. I have no problems with the AC being too noisy though. Only problem we had was the brakes went out when I was 7 months pregnant, but Kia sent roadside assistance and towed us, free-of-charge to the dealership, fixed it for free. It was a faulty chip in the ABS. Wish there was more headroom in the 3rd row. But overall, this has been a wonderful minivan for the cost. I could not justify blowing $35K+ on a higher- scale minivan. Great van for the price. Were going to trade up soon to the EX.

  Great Van at a Great Price - 2003 Kia Sedona
  By Brandt1971 - January 14 - 2:00 am

  We purchased our van a few wmonths ago and this is a wonderful van at a great price. we have the LX model and this comes with excellent features. Rear air/heat six speaker stereo, dual sliding doors and excellent capacity to store and carry everything from passengers to equiptment. Great pick up with the 195HP engine and a quite smooth ride. the only negative would be the gas usage. For this price and all the options. I would recommend this van to all families on a budget looking for a great deal!

  cheap - 2003 Kia Sedona
  By christine - November 19 - 10:00 am

  After 980 mile no problem. But the sunglass holder could not open on top. Need abs brakes in this van because I try both van with and without abs brakes. Speaker not loud enough in the front of van on the LX. Parts for this van might be hard to find.
