Sedona tops minivan safety comparisons

Check out the 2007 Kia Sedona, the highest safety-rated minivan ever built. The Sedona is the first and only minivan ever to earn both a 5-star crash safety rating in all four categories from the U.S. Government (NHTSA) and the be named “Top Safety Pick “ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Sedona offers more and still comes out ahead in minivan price comparisons

The new Sedona has everything you want in a minivan plus a few things you might not expect. There’s the highly recognized standard safety features, flexible cargo and seating options, and plenty of comfort features for everyone to enjoy all packed into a minivan with power and performance that may surprise many minivan buyers.

You won't believe you're driving a minivan

The Sedona’s 3.8-liter V6 cranks out a class-leading 250 horsepower with 3,500 pounds of towing capacity. Exceptional handling is the result of expertly engineered front and rear suspension and anti-roll bars. Plus every Sedona comes standard with added sport in the 5-speed Sportmatic transmission, which offers you the choice between traditional automatic mode and a clutch-free manual sport shifting mode. Just tap the gearshift up or down to shift gears for a whole new driving experience you never thought possible with a minivan.
