For 2020, VIN: KNDMB5C11L6138071the Sedona carries over with last year’s mild makeover that includes new front and rear styling for a modern and fresh look, along with new wheel designs in 17- and 18-inch sizes. The Sedona’s strong lines and bold grille help it look a bit more like a large-crossover SUV rather than a dowdy minivan, a theme most noticeable on the top-line SX trim that also includes LED headlights and fog lights.

EX and SX trim feature a single-touch exterior button that activates the power-sliding side doors, making it even easier to get in and out. The Sedona’s side doors open wide to permit easy access to the 3rd-row seat, and an available power rear liftgate makes loading a little less complicated, especially with both arms full of groceries or other important stuff.

DRIVER-ATTENTION WARNING
Designed to reduce accidents caused by fatigue, the 2020 Kia Sedona’s Driver Attention Warning system monitors both the vehicle and driver’s behavior. DAW looks for signs of erratic driving patterns such as weaving or drifting out of an intended lane and warns the driver with an audible tone and flashing coffee-cup icon. The idea is to gently prod the driver to either let someone else drive or pull over and take a break.

AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING
Sedona’s automatic emergency braking system monitors the traffic ahead and can slow or stop the vehicle when it detects a collision is imminent. It can also detect pedestrians in the vehicle’s path. Unfortunately, this value system is offered only on the most expensive EX and SX trims.
