TCC’s Bottom Line

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.

The 2016 Toyota Sienna posts some of the best gas-mileage and crash-test scores among minivans; only the Chrysler vans are more flexible.

TCC Likes

A tastefully updated shape
Quiet cabin
Impressive infotainment

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

TCC Dislikes

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

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