Overview & Reviews
A fully redesigned Sedona was introduced last year, and for 2007 a short-wheelbase model is available. It doesn't come with as many features as the regular model but it's less expensive, a little more maneuverable and just as powerful. The only other update for '07 is a slight increase in power to 250 horsepower.
- Excellent value, powerful and refined V6 engine, quiet ride, plenty of storage and cupholders, available short-wheelbase model, long warranty coverage.
- No fold-flat third row in short-wheelbase van, lacks interior materials quality and features availability of top Japanese minivans.

Just the facts - 2007 Kia Sedona
By Ken, SC - October 3 - 12:26 pmUnlike other reviews, I have put over 80000 miles on my Sedona in just 2 years. So, Im talking experience here. The car handles like a sports car. The ride is pretty good, although there is no isulation to speak of (you hear a lot of road noise). I get 20 mpg in city/highway driving. On the open road, at 75, I get 24-25. Great bang for the buck! Downside! The residual value on this vehicle is horrible. Comparing it to other minivans with comparable equipment, mileage, and initial purchase cost, the Kia is $4k-5k less. I trade every 2 years, and expect to pay to get right side up. However, this van is costing me too much to trade. Cost new; $24k. Now; $6500! What a hit in 2 years!

Automatic Door Issues - 2007 Kia Sedona
By maememories24 - August 2 - 4:32 pmWe bought the van used in Dec 2010 with 25K on it. Two days after we drove it home it was back in the shop for issues with the hatch not closing, come to find out there was a recall on it. Two weeks later it was back at the dealer for issues with the sliding doors not closing and jamming up. We have now had the vehicle 8 months and from May - August it has been at the dealer WEEKLY for the same door issues. They can not seem to fix it and when they say they do you no sooner get home and the doors do the same thing. The passenger side door has actually opened up while in drive! Be very cautious when purchasing this vehicle. I will go back to my trusty Honda, I gave Kia a try and they failed.

Best deal on the Market! - 2007 Kia Sedona
By Jack D. Bell - July 12 - 10:36 amThis van is fully loaded-plus, we added on a combo navigation/rear camera system, expensive, but worth it! Car has plenty of power, and transmission is smooth stock tires are adequate, but I will eventually replace them with ultimate quality tires. Its quiet at all speeds. A great plus is the headlights, which light up the road at night like monster floodlights. An important safety advance, in our opinion. We traded in an Odyssey ex- l, and we do not regret it, although, overall, the Kia is not quite as sumptuous as the Odyssey was. But, the price differential was too great to ignore (about $6000 less, comparably equipped). Ergonomics are first-rate; even the sun-roof works easily!

LOVE IT! - 2007 Kia Sedona
By The Wukichs - April 2 - 7:30 amThe Sedona is a dream come true. We priced and researched minivans and were drawn into the Kia dealership by their price and warranty. We did not expect quality too. The van has been dependable, roomy, and great on gas on road trips. Our Sedona has been loaded with adults and children alike. We always get compliments on the room and comfort for all passengers. The LWB (long wheel base) model offers that extra foot you may need on a road trip. It is nice to take a vehicle that has room for everything and the kitchen sink. I always have room for my stroller, groceries and passengers.

Very impressed - 2007 Kia Sedona
By Jesse - December 2 - 6:50 amI drive a lot for work and am on the road 5 days a week in my van. This vehicle makes abundant horsepower, handles well and is fairly fuel efficient for its class. I have put 10,000+ miles on in 3 months trouble free. The tire pressure monitor is the only light to have come on during my travels. The vehicle is a perfect balance of functionality, simplicity and most importantly value!! I get a lot of questions and compliments on the van, more than on any other previous vehicle.

Enjoy driving the van better then SUV - 2007 Kia Sedona
By Kayla - September 29 - 2:33 pmAfter hours of reading reviews, price checking with dealers online, this was the only one I test drove and loved prior to doing so. It is extremely comfortable for both of my girls, and we all love to drive it. Very easy to drive and maneuver.

Has been great for us - 2007 Kia Sedona
By Deanne - July 3 - 2:56 pmWe love our Kia Sedona van. It handles well and is very comfortable...granted it has a bunch of bells and whistles. We have had relatively few problems and if I were to purchase a van again...it would be a Sedona. The gas mileage in town is not great but I like it on the highway. I especially like the tire monitoring system, the back seat folding down, the back windows able to go down and how much power I feel I have versus our Grand Caravan we had prior to this.

KIA Sedona LX - spirited driver - 2007 Kia Sedona
By Robinson Family - May 17 - 12:36 pmI traded in a 05 Impala for this vehicle and I dont feel as if I sacrificed anything by purchasing it. I have the same amount of power with my KIA as I had with the Impala. Its GREAT! Who would have thought a minivan with 250 horses? I can roast the tires if Im not careful! Comfortable and very stable ride. When I first purchased it, I found myself driving it like a sports sedan. And the best thing is that the vehicle will allow you to do that. The suspension and traction control will keep you stable when dodging the occasional idiot driver. The fold flat rear seats are awesome and the sliding doors have power windows! Great Van! Cant wait to see the next set of improvements!

no fuel econemy - 2007 Kia Sedona
By larry - May 17 - 5:50 amThe van is reliable and easy to drive. The comfort level is very good. In the first 25,000 miles I had to replace both brakes and tires. My biggest complaint is that gas mileage doesnt exist. Highway is fine at about 19/20 to the gallon but city is around 10 and they can do nothing about it.

The price is right - 2007 Kia Sedona
By jpm - February 15 - 8:26 pmAfter comparing this to Honda, Toyota and Dodge, the Kia Sedona was a no-brainer. I find the styling of the Kia more attractive and SUV-like. The performance is outstanding for a minivan. The warranty was a big factor in our purchase decision, but I believe the build quality is close to if not equal to Toyota and Honda. What sealed the deal though is that by far and away the Kia gives you the most for your money.
