2017 Kia Sedona vs. 2016 Chrysler Town & Country: Compare Cars

Martin Padgett Martin Padgett Editorial Director

With only seven minivans from which to choose, shopping for one is relatively uncomplicated. But be sure to include some of the newest entries with a foot in both passenger- and commercial-duty worlds.

The Kia Sedona is one of those traditional picks and a long-running nameplate for the brand. The Sedona has been consistently updated since a redesign in 2014, with a more comprehensive set of safety equipment now.

The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
6.5
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 2017 Kia Sedona is a viable alternative to more popular vans that can cost much more. For less than $30,000 to start, it makes a strong case based on value.
