Probably the best designed minivan of this generation, it's so simple and clean.
I just bought a used 2016 Sedona LX with 61,000 miles. I paid an extra $1500 for a 3rd party warranty, 5 years 60,000 miles. I love the van but the selling dealership had to fix quite a few things. The passenger side sliding door window motor had to be replaced. Both sliding doors wouldn’t close properly, one was a bad sensor the other was a common problem of the door not latching completely. The front stabilizer bars had to be replaced. But after they did all that, it’s great. The fact it has a traditional center armrest is awesome. I hate that other minivans just have the fold down arm bar. I’ve been averaging about 18mpg around town on eco mode. I got 25 on the trip from NJ to VA and back. We had a 2014 Sienna we sold, it was great, and we replaced it with a 2020 Sienna XLE AWD. Right after selling the 2014 we ended up with our grandchildren, so we needed another van. It came down to the Sedona and a 2016 Sienna with 98,000 miles. Out the door the Sedona was $13,898 with tax, tag, title and warranty. The other dealership wouldn’t budge on the $20,900 for the Sienna and no warranty option. The cost, warranty, and center armrest sold me, and it’s a really good looking van and drives as good as any other minivan I’ve driven. So far extremely happy, but we’ll see how the next five years go. I will say, without the warranty, I’d never have bought it considering what had to be fixed initially.
Residual value doesn't matter if you plan to keep for a long time.
It's a bonus if you buy it used lol
I'm going to look at one tomorrow!@@somanymods
that autocross action was pure gold guys. maybe add some coilovers and lower it a bit 😂
THat baby in the back was soooo cute.
Wearing a helmet while driving a minivan. You're not hardcore unless you live hardcore.
David "and the legend of the van was way hardcore!"
Good review. Interestingly, that sticky fuel filler door is an issue on my 08 Hyundai Vera Cruz as well.
We've had a 2016 for over a year. We bought it to replace a 2002 GMC Safari that we drove to death. Since we're getting older we appreciate that we don't have to pull the seats out and the cargo space is just long enough for us to put a mattress in for camping.
How's your 2016 holding up?
@@alexlautenschlager3465 We're still driving it. We've taken it on a number of long distance road trips including a cross country one. In summers we use it as a micro camper. We recently replaced the shocks and suspension. It was expensive but still a lot less than buying a whole new vehicle. It's still our favourite car ever.
Can a 6ft person fit wiht the middle row stowed?
@@alexlautenschlager3465 Still plugging along.
@@srileo Yes. my husband is 5'11".
That 3.3 liter v6 is reliable . i had 1 in my 2006 Hyundai sonata it had the same motor. Even withs 180,000 mileage on it the only problem I had with it was the a/c compressor went on it at 56,000 miles still was under the warranty. The slight delay in the slamming on the gas happens with mostly all of the Hyundai cars but you get used to it.
Non removable 2nd row seats? Hmmm, I don’t think I’ll get one now. How would one camp with it then? Where to put gear? A mattress?
Don’t even have to watch the video after seeing this comment
Mine died at 110000 miles…needs complete engine replacement. No lights, no warnings, had regular maintenance. Sad. Oh and we’ve spent 2 months trying to get Kia corporate to help us out. No response
Please do Mitsubishi pajero sport review
What are people getting for mpg? I'm getting around 12 mpg in town and about 20 on the highway. 12 seems way below the estimates, and I don't drive with a heavy foot.
Resale value doesn't matter if you drive it until the end of useful life
KBB, can you also make Long-Term Conclusion on Calvin Klein boxers? 01:25
Great looking van but the non-removable seats killed it for me. I don't use it often but I've carried 4x8 sheet goods in my Odyssey and longer trim pieces.
They also need to hide the sliding door track.
Most minivans have the track on the outside?
Its the most handsome look minivan
Is that your 2nd child, Micah? Congratulations! :) and still choosing between this and the Explorer.
Diwa Galvez get the explorer
Diwa Galvez the explorer has much more features and luxury if that's what you want
Explorer is beatiful...but today is a big garbage!! A lot of parts today on it actually are plastic...! Ford sucks at all. Only the Exolorer made for police department is a decent model.
17 mpg.....????

If you guys jab at the gas pedal the way you jab at all the fixtures and fittings, its no wonder you get such lousy mileage.
The poor residual value has made these great CPO deals compared to the Odyssey and sienna.
What is a CPO deal?
@@DSesignD certified pre-owned
Theres lots to like... but we also know the Pacifica just beats all the minivans... hands free side doors and hatch, available hybrid, (minivan exclusives) the infotainment system is AMAZING good fuel efficiency, good looks and super well layed out interior and more space plus Stow N Go (Unbeatable) and loads of comfort... probably why its the best seller
Freedom it's a fucking CHRYSLER
It's the best until you drive it off the lot, then the transmission magically implodes.
Freedom lol I quit selling Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram. The Dodge Dart is the only car I've ever sold new where I had to pick the customer up before they even got home...they were stranded by it on the side of the road.
The Pacifica is only the good Chrysler. The rest are garbage also the Town and Country was leading in the minivan segment for years, so will Pacifica.
Alanex Knight sadly the town-n-country is now discontinued , they stopped making them for 2017 . Chrysler decided it would be best to continue the town-n-country model as the Pacifica but keep the name Pacifica.
Every time KBB means competition on any car in any segment they always forget vehicles from FCA. Enough already KBB and mention all competitors
A bit dirty
this engine in this car is the most unreliable and mine had an engine replaced every 30k-42k miles and iv seen many others have this same issue. DO NOT EVER BUY A KIA, just let the kia boys take them away.
Terrible mileage.....
Lost me @ non removable or the ability to fold the 2nd row flat killed it for me 😞
Kia Sedona = Best Minivan in terms of looks. But KIAs are known for being unreliable and always breaking down
