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.

Verdict

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.
