2021 Kia Sedona

History/Overview

Kia's Sedona joined the minivan market back in 2002, and has since grown from the smaller side of the segment to a full-size minivan. The same size as the competition, that is. The Sedona saw a refresh in 2019 and few changes since. It will be replaced by the Carnival for model year 2022.
