TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 Chrysler Town & Country piles a lavish amount of equipment and luxury touches into an aging body that suffers in the toughest crash tests.

The 2016 Kia Sedona is a viable alternative to the four top-selling minivans, with a quiet and spacious interior, a very comfortable high-end seating option, a smooth ride, and a modern infotainment system.

TCC Likes

Supreme flexibility
Good safety and visibility
Loads of standard equipment

A tastefully updated shape
Quiet cabin
Impressive infotainment

TCC Dislikes

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

Gas mileage is just average
A hefty van, even in base trim
No all-wheel drive option
