Our 2009 Kia Sedona has great safety scores and a wide range of standard features at an appealing price. Kia is selling value not sex appeal and this Sedona shows that the Korean automaker understands its mission well. It may not be an Odyssey but it has a lot to offer at a respectable price. On the road it exhibits good stable road manners and enough power to accelerate strongly into traffic even when packed full of kids and all their gear. Sedona seats seven in three rows with seats for two in each of the first two rows and room for two adults or three children in back. It comes with an impressive number of standard features which include tri-zone climate controls power front windows power door locks an AM/FM/CD audio system keyless entry cruise control and a front-row extendable side table with cupholders. Our 2009 Kia Sedona comes with a 3.8-liter 250-horsepower V6 engine. On a power-to-weight basis the Sedona is certainly competitive with the best in its class. Nor can you complain about the vehicle's five-speed automatic transmission. The Sedona slurps between gears easily kicks down into passing gear willingly enough and offers a good level of drivability.
