Modern Creature Comforts With standard seating for seven, the Sedona treats your family to the ultimate road trip. Instead of captain's chairs, you can switch to a second-row bench seat and create accommodations for eight passengers. Either way, all three rows are rich in comfort and passenger space. Better yet, the Sedona's modern cabin design makes it easy to access all three rows. Cabin space is also highly versatile. The standard Slide-N-Stow seats make it easy to haul larger items – just slide the second-row captain's chairs forward or fold the third-row seats flat into the floor. There are three Sedona trim levels on offer – L, LX, and EX – and each contains more modern comfort features than the last. The L not only gives you the best bargain with the lowest MSRP, but it also puts you at ease with dual-zone climate control and stain-resistant cloth upholstery. The LX adds rear privacy glass and a second-row bench seat. With the EX, you get heated front seats, leather upholstery, and second- and third-row sunshades. The top-trim SX gives you a luxury minivan, with ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, and a sound-reducing windshield. more more Family-Friendly Technology Kia knows that your kids want to stay connected as much as you do, so the Sedona comes standard with the latest infotainment gear. This includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity – technology that displays smartphone apps on the 7-inch infotainment touch screen. On the EX and up, rapid-charging USB ports are quick to recharge your device batteries. But the Sedona doesn't stop at infotainment technology. This modern minivan gives you kid-friendly convenience with anti-pinch sliding doors, standard on the LX and up. The Smart Power Liftgate, available with the EX Premium package or the top-trim SX, is touch-free, opening when you simply stand behind the Sedona with your Smart Key in your pocket. When you've got a long way to travel, pop a few drinks into the cooling glove box for a refreshing to-go treat. This feature is also available with the EX Premium package or SX. Built to Last With one of the best warranties in the business, your Kia Sedona will keep your family rolling in style. Its limited powertrain warranty lasts 10 years or 100,000 miles – whichever comes first. Basic new car coverage is also extensive, lasting five years or 60,000 miles. The roadside assistance plan is another big draw. Should the unexpected happen, Kia will send help for up to five years or 60,000 miles. Like any good minivan, the 2020 Kia Sedona attracts a crowd with its generous cabin and cargo space. But the Sedona also treats you to modern comfort, technology, and convenience features, leaving competitors in the dust. On top of everything, Kia's warranty coverage will bolster your peace of mind for years to come.   Photo by Kia.com
