The 2020 Kia Sedona misses out on key safety features, but has a good infotainment system and an excellent warranty. It’s a 7 for features.

At $28,445 to start (including $1,045 destination charge) the Sedona L is reasonably well-equipped, offering a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 17-inch alloy wheels, seating for 7 passengers, and USB charging ports.

The LX model adds an additional seat, as well as a power-adjustable driver’s seat, power sliding doors, tinted windows, and two additional speakers for $31,245, but we’d bypass that model and go for the EX, which starts at $34,545.

For that price, you get bigger wheels, leather upholstery, heated front seats, additional fast-charge USB ports, and more. Unfortunately, active safety tech is bundled with tri-zone climate control, a power liftgate, and power moonroof for an additional $4,800, bringing the total price to near $40,000 for the Sedona you really want.

Top-tier SX models include Harman/Kardon audio, cooled front seats, a heated steering wheel, and an 8.0-inch infotainment system with navigation as well as a rear-seat entertainment system. Active safety tech is still optional on this loaded model, however, and at $42,345 to start, it’s out of our acceptable price range.

Every Sedona has a longer than usual warranty of 5 years/60,000 miles.
