For power, you need to look underneath the hood. A 3.5-liter V6 with dual overhead camshafts produces 195 horsepower. Both models come with dual-zone air conditioning, cruise control, a tilt steering wheel and power windows, mirrors and locks. The EX adds some exterior trim highlights, alloy wheels, a CD player, second-row captain's chairs, a folding extendable table, woodgrain trim, power rear quarter windows and keyless entry. The EX also has an optional moonroof, leather seating and Homelink.
Safety comes in the form of optional ABS, dual front airbags and auto-locking seatbelt retractors.
While it's lacking some common minivan features like power sliding doors, front side airbags and a multi-disc CD changer, the Sedona looks to be a viable option for minivan buyers hoping to save a bit of green. It hits Kia dealers in late summer of 2001. The Sedona EX at the New York Auto Show had the optional two-tone exterior paint scheme. Inc. All rights reserved.
