A reasonable amount of standard equipment is available on the 2008 Kia Sedona.

The 2008 Kia Sedona "is offered in two wheelbase lengths," according to MyRide.com, as well as three different trims. All models include "tri-zone air conditioning, a CD player, cruise control, second-row captain's chairs and keyless entry with an alarm," while the Kia Sedona EX "adds power front seats, heated power mirrors, an auto-dimming inside mirror, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift knob, powered rear-quarter glass and a compass," according to Cars.com. ConsumerGuide adds that "standard power sliding-door windows are a fresh-air plus" on all Kia Sedona 2008 models.

According to Cars.com, Kia Sedona 2008 "options list includes leather seats with heated front seats, memory for the driver's seat and mirror, and an 11-speaker DVD entertainment system." Kelley Blue Book reports that those who upgrade to the Kia Sedona EX trims can get "leather seating, heated front seats, driver's-position memory, sunroof, power sliding doors and liftgate, power-adjustable pedals, front-row automatic climate control, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, an Infinity 7.1 Surround Sound system with an in-dash six-disc CD changer and rear DVD entertainment system with two wireless headsets." In addition, there is a "less sophisticated rear DVD entertainment system that's available on both LX and EX 2008 Kia Sedona models."

Conclusion

The 2008 Kia Sedona has many useful features both standard and optional, but Chrysler has raised the state of the art with in-car TV, navigation, and in-floor folding seats.

Other Choices:

    There are not many minivans, crossovers, or SUVs that drive as well as the sporty Mazda5. Even the short-wheelbase 2008 Kia Sedona is larger than the Mazda5. If you don't need the extra room and might want the added fuel economy of the Mazda5's standard four-cylinder engine, then the Mazda5 is worth a test drive.
