Comparing the 2019 And 2020 Kia Sedona Minivans


KIA Sedona - Westside kia

Kia dropped a set of surprises on the crowd as the lightly refreshed 2019 and 2020 Sedona Kia minivan. 

Featuring some minor revisions and tweaks, plus a soft redone look front and rear, and a couple of new features inside.

While the 2020 Kia Sedona wins at blending the style of a crossover with the utility of a minivan.

Perhaps more captivating is the Sedona's value proposition, which has more popular alternatives that are outfitted with similar features. 

The Kia has a smooth ride quality, spacious cabin, and intriguing driver-assistance choices and boasts excellent safety ratings and a velvety V-6 engine.

Trim Levels
2019 comes in five variants, while 2020 enters the automotive market with four

 2019
2. 2019 Kia Sedona LX Minivan
3. 2019 Kia Sedona EX Minivan
4. 2019 Kia Sedona EX Premium Minivan
5. 2019 Kia Sedona SXL Minivan

2020
2. 2020 Kia Sedona LX Minivan

The Exterior and the Interior

2019-The new headlights, grille, front end, and fog lights are revamped to bring the Sedona more in line with the other look of the Kia lineup models. 

The 2019 Sedona comes in 7 and 8 passenger configurations. With all trio rows of seats in place, the 2019 Sedona offers 33.9 cubic feet of storage space.

Folding down the third row of seat increases this number to 78.4 cubic feet. With the second and third rows of seats folded down, the Sedona offers a maximum storage capacity of 142.0 cubic feet.

The 2020 Sedona presents family-friendly attributes in a roomy cabin. Luxury-minded consumers will want to opt for the top-spec SX that can be matched like a private jet, with reclining captain's chairs of the second-row bench seat.  

All models are equipped with a two-tone color theme that breaks up what might otherwise be a monotonous black interior. 

Kia understands that car shoppers expect minivans to operate as mobile living rooms. The 2019 Sedona, as well the 2020 Sedona, offers a variety of features designed to help keep everyone entertained while on the roads. 

Infotainment and Connectivity

In back, of 2019, Kia Sedona, a USB charging plug, has been added to the cargo area for third-row occupants, while the front entertainment system now has dual 10.1-inch touchscreens placed in the seatbacks at front. 

It has the competency to mirror smartphone features when used with compatible devices, permitting videos to be played directly via a plugged in a device to keep you moving with your favorite music throughout the journey.

instead of the previous model’s Infinity-branded system, it is restyled with the premium version of Harman Kardon.

2020 Sedona purchasers have various alternatives in the infotainment section.
All models are available with USB and Bluetooth connectivity.

Under the Engine and Performance Hood

The Smooth and refined, 2020 Sedona's V-6 is well-matched to its people-moving mission and rarely transmits any harshness into the cabin. Around-town driving is no more a hassle. 

The Sedona handles proficiently but doesn't inspire back road thrill - But folks don't forget this is a minivan. 

Its ride is poised over smooth paths. The heft of the steering wheel is balanced perfectly - not too heavy, not too light - and the Sedona is easily maneuverable at parking-lot speeds. It's a setup we like, even if the steering doesn't provide a great deal of feedback from the road ahead.

Moreover, Powering the 2019 Sedona is the naturally aspirated 3.3-liter V-6 but now mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Generating Horsepower of 276 and torque from 248 pounds-feet, Kia expects the van’s fuel economy numbers to improve, thanks to the all-new gearbox.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Comparing the Kia's Safety aspects both the models have performed wonders as they return with a series of available safety systems, which comprises of; 

·        Stop-and-go functionality with smart cruise control. 
·        Rear cross-traffic alert,
·        Blind spot Warning
·        Forward collision warning  
·        Emergency braking is autonomous. 

But now it comes with an attention monitor mechanism called Driver Attention Warning-which monitors driving and vehicle behavior to detect a fatigued or inattentive driver.

While the 2020 presents

• Available automated emergency braking
• Available lane-departure warning
• Available adaptive cruise control

Verdict

Despite tweaks and turns in both the Models, Sedona maintains a competitive footprint among minivan models. Which are certainly better described as multipurpose vehicles and 2019 as well as 2020 Kia Sedona are definitely a compelling alternative to the crossover utility vehicles favored by families.
