TCC’s Bottom Line

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.

The Toyota Sienna only comes up shy in fold-away second-row seats and gas mileage; otherwise it's a leader in power and durability.

TCC Likes

Good list of standard features
Strong powertrain
Comfortable ride

A handsome minivan
Handling above par for class
Choice in second row: bench or chair

TCC Dislikes

Seating arrangement lacks flexibility
Subpar safety scores?
An aged design

Second-row seats slide, fold, don't stow
Gets expensive quickly
