First generation (1999-2005)

The Kia Sedona was a new model from Kia to compete with the minivan segment of Toyota Sienna, Honda Odyssey, and the Chrysler minivans. It had a 3.5 L V6 engine making 195 hp (145 kW). It was mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. The Sedona lacked features that other minivans had such as power sliding doors and liftgate, a fold flat third row seat navigation system, rear-view camera, and backup sensors. The Sedona also had subpar fuel economy, rated at 15 mpg city and 20 mpg highway, the lowest of any front wheel drive minivan.

In Australia, the Kia Carnival went on sale in 1999, with a standard 5-speed manual and 2.5 L V6 producing 177 hp (132 kW). A 4-speed automatic was optional. In 2001, it managed to outsell the Toyota Tarago, becoming the top-selling minivan in the country. It was sales leader again in 2004 and 2005, when sales peaked at 5,259 units, which in itself was a record for any minivan. Much of its success is due to its low pricing: at A$29,990 it is about $10-$15,000 cheaper than most rivals. 2001: A Space Odyssey. ...

In the British Isles (and possibly other regions), the Sedona was also sold as an MPV/van hybrid - it had the same doors, but only one row of passenger seats - the rest of the car behind these was sectioned off for van-like use, and there were no side windows behind the rear passenger doors. They are outsold by the UK Ford Galaxy and Honda Stream. Kia Sedona's are disliked by many people because of its ugly image and top speed of 104 MPH. It is unlike the Ford Galaxy and Honda Stream because they can both reach a speed up to 140 MPH and they are much more reliable. Location of the North-West European Archipelago. ...

Second generation (2006-present)

In autumn 2005 for the 2006 model year, Kia introduced a redesigned Sedona offering features such as a 60/40 fold flat seat, power sliding doors and liftgate, second row power windows, backup sensors, and a navigation system (in Korean models). The new Sedona has a 3.8 L V6 making 244 hp (182 kW). Although its predecessor was often criticized for its 4800 lb (2177 kg) weight, which was far greater than its competitors, the new Kia van is more than 400 lb (180 kg) lighter.

The new Sedona went on sale in Australia in January 2006 as the Grand Carnival. It continues to be sold alongside the old model. The new model features a 3.8 L V6 engine, standard seating for 8, and a 5-speed automatic with manual shift mode. It is priced almost 25% higher than the existing Carnival, which continues with a 2.5 L V6. Sedona now boasts more room for seven and added cargo capacity.
