2002-05 Kia Sedona
We’re all prisoners of gravity, or more accurately, mass. And perhaps nobody knows that better than a Kia Sedona driver.
Kia erred on the side of caution and bulked up its first North American-spec minivan to ensure it earned the ‘five-star’ crash rating so coveted by consumers.
At an asphalt-crushing 2.2 metric tonnes, this “minivan” is no flyweight. It’s up there with many sport-utility trucks in terms of its mass and propensity to drink deeply at the gas pump.
You know bloggers are mad when they use lots of exclamation marks and all caps: “EXTREMELY poor gas mileage,” wrote a Sedona driver. “I’m getting 16 miles per gallon (18 litres/100 km).”
Owners also got a lesson in reliability issues – a topic some auto reviewers sidestepped when they wrote about the new Sedona five years ago.
CONFIGURATION
The front-drive Sedona arrived in the fall of 2001 as an ’02 model. It came only as a dual-sliding-door model sized halfway between the short- and long-wheelbase versions of the Dodge Caravan.
As a subsidiary of Hyundai, Kia had the Korean success formula down pat: fill the base model with premium features including dual-zone air conditioning and loads of power-assisted goodies as standard equipment.
With the factory on the other side of the planet, it made economic sense to minimize model choices, so there were only two: the base LX and the premium EX, which added leather, ABS brakes, sunroof and even more toys.
Similarly, there’s only one do-it-all engine, supplied by Hyundai. The DOHC 3.5-litre V6 put out 195 hp and 218 lb-ft of torque, hooked up to a class-leading five-speed automatic transmission.
Minivans are fairly uniform in design, so shoppers tend to scrutinize the cabin for features and livability.
Here the Sedona scored well, with lots of storage cubbies and second- and third-row chairs that slid fore-and-aft for flexible room. The LX used a middle bench seat, while the EX featured captain’s chairs.
