TCC’s Bottom Line

The Chrysler Town & Country is a more expensive, more plush Caravan--and a great choice for shoppers looking for the best flexibility and features in minivans.

The 2014 Kia Sedona is a spacious, comfortable family van, but it lacks the modern design flair and high-value presentation that marks the rest of the brand's lineup.

TCC Likes

Supreme flexibility
Good safety and visibility
Loads of standard equipment

Good list of standard features
Strong powertrain
Comfortable ride

TCC Dislikes

Higher pricetag than Grand Caravan
Ride needs more damping
No all-wheel-drive option

Seating arrangement lacks flexibility
Subpar safety scores?
An aged design
