Great daily driver minivan
There are few better options for family hauling than the minivan. Start under the hood with the 2017 Sedona, and you'll find a great 3.3L V6 engine rated at 276 horsepower. You are sure to find just the right option for your individual needs as the 2017 Sedona is offered in five trim levels, L, LX, EX, SX, and SX-L. Seven-passenger seating is standard on the base L, SX, and SX-L trim levels (though the upper trim levels have optional seating for eight). The LX and EX both have standard eight-passenger seating. New optional features were added for 2017, including automatic emergency braking, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity, upgraded xenon headlights, and an acoustically insulated windshield.

5 reasons to buy the 2017 Kia Sedona
1. Room for people and cargo
Your 2017 Sedona is ready for adventure with a 33.9 cu-ft of cargo space behind the third-row seat. That number increases to 78.4 cu-ft with the rear row folded down. Fold the second-row seats into their collapsed forward position, and you'll find a sizable 142 cu-ft of space (not available in SX-L trim).
2. Great mid-level EX trim
The EX trim is a great place to start with some go-to options, such as leather upholstery, heated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry and ignition, an adjustable height power liftgate, and power sliding doors. You'll also get standard upgraded LED headlight accents, foglights, heated exterior mirrors, a refrigerated lower glovebox, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a remote garage door opener, and rear sunshades. The 2017 Sedona EX is a great option to look for across our lots.
3. Impressive base model too
Even the base model is anything but basic in the 2017 Sedona. The base L trim has standard exterior features like rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, and dual manual sliding doors. On the inside, you'll get standard equipment such as Slide-n-Stow® forward-collapsing second-row seats, a split-folding third-row seat, stain-resistant fabric upholstery, dual gloveboxes, air-conditioning with rear controls, and more.
4. Impressive power
All versions of the 2017 Sedona get a great 3.3L V6 engine with an impressive 276 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque. With the optional hitch installed, the Sedona can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.
5. Long options list
Start with the LX Convenience package, which adds a refrigerated glovebox, heated front seats, power sliding doors, eight-passenger seating, and rear sunshades. Meanwhile, the EX Premium package will get you a four-way driver lumbar, driver memory functions, the power front passenger seat, heated first- and second-row seats, and the blind spot warning system with rear cross-traffic alerts.
