We've found the Kia Sedona to operate just underneath the surface of more popular family haulers like the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna.
The Sedona is just as adept at moving kids and gear as the other two, but isn't as versatile or as attractive those can be.
The Sienna offers all-wheel drive, and the Odyssey boasts some great common sense features like a vacuum, but the Sedona holds its own in value.
Admittedly, we're smitten with the new Chrysler Pacifica, something we like very much—even in base trim–but it can be very pricey in top trims.
The Nissan Quest may appeal to some because of its pug-face looks, but the Sedona is more practical in nearly every way.
