The KIA Sedona brings a new meaning to multipurpose motoring. With safety being at the forefront of its design, the Sedona now offers further convenience through its utility and versatility.
Built for family motoring, ease and adaptability, the KIA Sedona 8 seater (2+3+3) interior, with seating variations to accommodate for a choice of interior space versus cargo transportation. With greater horsepower, a more spacious cabin and enhanced features the Sedona has resulted in a fusion between a high end sedan and a sports utility vehicle.
Equipped with a full house of features the new KIA Sedona comes with leather upholstery and a covered steering wheel, separate back and front climate control systems, a 3 in 1 CD/Radio (MP3 compatible), 6 speaker audio system, radio control fitted to the steering wheel along with cruise control and an onboard computer.
The Sedona range is available in a 2.9 litre CRDi (manual or automatic) or a 3.8 litre V6 (automatic). The 2.9 litre CRDi Sedona produces 119kW of power @ 3,700 rpm, while the 3.8 litre V6 version offers 184kW @ 6,000 rpm.
The Sedona's design is driven by safety which has been recognised by the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), who awarded the Sedona with a Five Star Crash Safety Rating as well as receiving a "Top Safety Pick" rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
The new KIA Sedona's safety features include an enhanced body with stronger collision-deterring frames and panels, dual front, side and curtain airbags, ABS and ESP braking systems as well as Park Distance Control.

Top Safety Pick IIHS
Seoul, April 19, 2006 - Already having earned a five-star safety rating from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the all-new 2006 Sedona (also known as ‘Carnival’ in many markets) minivan now has been awarded the Gold Top Safety Pick for its impressive performance with top ratings in frontal, side and rear impact crash tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the U.S.
First MPV ever to be awarded the USA Governments 5 Star Crash Safety Rating
Seoul April 3, 2006 - The all-new Carnival MPV (known as ‘Sedona’ in some markets) has earned the highest possible safety rating - five stars - for all seating positions in the latest frontal and side impact crash tests by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Completely redesigned for the 2006 model year, the all-new Carnival builds upon a commitment to safety that was established with the first generation MPV, which earned the company’s first five star crash rating when it debuted in 2002. The 2006 Carnival continues to offer a high level of standard safety equipment, including six standard airbags, front active headrests, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), a Traction Control System (TCS) with brake assist, and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). We are extremely pleased with the all-new Sedona’s performance and resulting five star rating in NHTSA’s recent testing,” said Len Hunt, executive vice president and COO of Kia Motors America. “The latest five star rating is further proof of our commitment to building high quality vehicles with unprecedented levels of standard safety and convenience features.” Certain models feature an all-new, more powerful 3.8-liter 24-valve V6 engine, producing class-leading 244 horsepower. A longer wheelbase and increased length and width in comparison to its predecessor contribute to the minivan’s nearly 15-percent improvement in passenger room over the previous Carnival. Comfort and convenience equipment such as fold-in-the-floor third row seating, three separate climate zones covering all three rows and available power remote-operated side doors and rear lift gate were designed to bolster Carnival’s established position as a safety and value leader in the highly competitive MPV market.
