ConsumerGuide

The 2009 Kia Sedona has many useful features both standard and optional, but Chrysler raises the state of the art with in-car TV, navigation, and in-floor folding seats.

According to Cars.com, 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.” ConsumerGuide remarks that "standard power sliding-door windows are a fresh-air plus" on all Kia Sedona 2009 models. The 2009 Kia Sedona "is offered in two wheelbase lengths," states MyRide.com, as well as three different trims.

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 2009 Kia Sedona models." According to Cars.com, Kia Sedona 2009 "options list includes leather seats with heated front seats, memory for the driver's seat and mirror, and an 11-speaker DVD entertainment system."

Conclusion

The 2009 Kia Sedona offers a reasonable amount of standard equipment, but it comes nowhere close to what’s available in Chrysler’s minivans.

Other Choices:

There are few minivans, crossovers, or SUVs that drive as well as the sporty Mazda5. Even the short-wheelbase 2009 Kia Sedona is larger than the Mazda5. If you don't mind a peppy four-cylinder engine, then the Mazda5 is worth a test drive. The Toyota Sienna matches the Honda Odyssey in terms of refinement, polish, and price. However, the Sienna doesn't drive with the same enthusiastic personality as the Honda or the Mazda5. If you're shopping around but know you want a refined, high-quality driving experience, then the Honda Odyssey is the minivan for you. The base Honda will be thousands of dollars more expensive than the least expensive Kia, so be prepared. For those responsible for keeping kids happy while on the road, the vast number of features on the all-new Dodge Caravan makes this minivan a standout achiever. The Dodge also offers in-floor storage and seating options not available on the Kia.
