This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Excellent value, powerful and refined V6 engine, quiet ride, plenty of storage and cupholders, available short-wheelbase model, long warranty coverage.
Cons:
  • No fold-flat third row in short-wheelbase van, lacks interior materials quality and features availability of top Japanese minivans.

  • My New Chariot - 2007 Kia Sedona
    By -

    I traded in a 2004 Sedona for this one and am really pleased with the van. Serene driving and riding comfort, quiet, and the turning radius is much improved. Roomy and plush.

  • Minivan Done Right - 2007 Kia Sedona

    This is the first minivan Ive really liked, very well thought out. With 10K on the odometer weve had no problems. Recommend comparing the Sedona directly with an Odyssey EXL or Touring and youll probably find the Sedona a much better buy in terms of included features, safety, warranty and most of all price. Built on the same assembly line, the Sedona is basically a Hyundai Entourage with a simpler option package for a few thousand dollars less. Comfortable flip-forward middle seats make more sense than stow-and-go for us, plus you get more ground clearance. Love the euro-styling, 17" alloy wheels, Michelin tires and sport shifter.

  • Wise $ spent - 2007 Kia Sedona

    I compared ALL vans. It came down to the Honda and yes, the Kia. Honda if you want to lease... Kia to buy. Though I preferred the Honda, the $3k difference, bang for the buck, 10 year warranty, a better reliability rating by Consumer Reports, BEST minivan distinction in safety by the insurance institute, 5 star gov. rating, "Best Buy" by Consumers Digest and on and on from one review to the next...decision done. I did like the drive of the Honda, but I believe its because of the name cache "Honda" vs. Kia. Getting over that, they drive near identical. The fit and finish is also on par, if not better. Common sense, value, and the safest van distinction made this an easy purchase.

  • Objective review of my 07 Sedona - 2007 Kia Sedona
    By -

    We purchased this van used with 10,000 miles on it. We got it for a great price because the resale value of the Kia Sedona is comparatively one of the lowest of any vehicle. It is very roomy and comfortable, and drives and handles extremely well. It is perfect for long trips, and I average between 24-25 mpg on the highway. There are no mechanical issues. On the bad side, our main complaint is that the suspension sounds like creaky old bed springs when you go over a slight bump, and this is not a warranty item. The materials quality both inside and out is not on par with Japanese rivals. The dashboard is fading in some spots and the leather is showing wear spots on the passenger seat.

  • Power to Surprise - 2007 Kia Sedona
    By -

    I chose the Kia minivan over several others I test drove. It has a nice driving feel to it. It looks nice as far as minivans go, and it has a good warranty. Its a good value for the money when you throw in the 100,000 warranty. I was very disappointed when the transmission locked in park and it stranded my three young kids and me thirty miles from home. Unfortunately KIA agreed to tow the car to the dealership but didnt offer to provide us with a ride home or contact a rental car company. Kias slogan is "The power to surprise." They got that right. I was surprised that a car would break down after only six weeks and 3,600 miles.

  • My first and possibly last - 2007 Kia Sedona
    By -

    The appearance and interior space was a big plus when we purchased our van. However, after only 60K miles Ive decided this is my last Kia. In the past I have owned a Jeep Cherokee and a Nissan Quest. I guess once you get use to an automobile that doesnt send you to the shop on a routine basis you get a little spoiled. Our Sedona has sent us to the shop for a loose drivers seat (twice, plastic hardware), a bad seatbelt, constant sqweeking noises in the rear door, airbag, two AC fans, the Oh Crap handle in the passenger seat came out of the roof, the console makes constant noises and now it is making a cracking noise in the front end.

  • We love Sedona - 2007 Kia Sedona
    By -

    We test drove an Odyssey, Sienna and the Sedona, and the Sedona is equal or better than the other 2. We were very disappointed with the Sienna fit and finish. The Sedona is a excellent van, with very good power, comfort, road manners and price (the Sedona is not cheap as it used to be but this model is far superior than the older design). My gas mileage in the city is around 16 and 26 in the highway, I am pleased with the fuel economy, I know it will improve when the engine breaks in. We really enjoy driving this car, my children love the comfort and the DVD.

  • Don,t ever buy this Van. - 2007 Kia Sedona
    By -

    I bought a KIA sedona Ex 2007 model in May, 2008. Lots of electrical problems. Now the whole electrical system failed. No light inside the van. Doors do not open. Air bag light is on. I cannot take this van anywhere reliably. Laura

  • Nice Smooth Van Lacks some comfort - 2007 Kia Sedona
    By -

    Ive only owned this van 1 month. Great van overall but has a few problems. Rear hatch door leaks during heavy rain. Rattle in rear and windows rattle. Stereo should be better for standard issue. Had a Mazda MPV - trans went so I bought this van. Love its handling. But slow from go, super fast and smooth passing. Crappy gas mileage compared to my Mazda of more weight. Hate the drivers seat adjustments. Im short and you cant lower the front of the seat so on long rides my legs fall asleep. The wheel rims make the van look cheap even though its a beautiful looking car. Hazard button is right under stereo controls, they turn on often! Love the safety features! Buying EX model next time.

  • Surprising car - 2007 Kia Sedona
    By -

    This is a fun car to drive. At todays gas prices, I am glad to report that the car actually gets the advertised mileage. They stated it would get 18 mpg (city) and 25 mpg (highway). While mileage depends on driving habits, I get at least 18 mpg city, and up to 28 mpg highway. The 28 mpg was reached while driving on an interstate doing 85 mph (dont tell the police.)
