TO THE POINT What’s New? The 2006 Kia Sedona is completely redesigned, including everything you need and really want in a minivan, and nothing you don’t.
Selling Points: Price, design, utility, features, driving character.
Deal Breakers: Second-row seats are heavy and hard to install, no navigation system option, spare tire location.
Our Advice: As long as the new 2006 Kia Sedona scores well in crash tests, there’s no good reason you shouldn’t buy one unless you need a navigation system.

Click to enlarge. 2006 Kia Sedona Model Mix You can buy a 2006 Kia Sedona in LX or EX trim, and prices range from $23,665 for the standard LX to $31,600 for a loaded EX.

Kia is starting off slow with the new 2006 Sedona, planning to sell 60,000 annually in two trim levels: LX and EX. A short-wheelbase model will arrive in the fall for 2007, and is expected to comprise 10-percent of total sales in future years.

The 2006 Kia Sedona LX starts at $23,665 with a $670 destination charge, and its equipment list includes power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, and remote keyless entry. A tilt steering wheel, cruise control, eight-speaker stereo with CD player, rear wiper/washer, rear defogger, and floor mats are also included. Other standard features are a parabolic conversation mirror so that the driver can see all the occupants in the vehicle, visor extenders to block out extra sunlight, vanity mirrors, a cargo light, cargo area grocery bag holders, and cargo net hooks.

The 2006 Kia Sedona EX is base-priced at $26,665 with destination. The extra cost nets fog lights, automatic headlights, an eight-way power driver’s seat, a four-way power passenger’s seat, woodgrain accents, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, and illuminated vanity mirrors. Sedona EX buyers also enjoy a stereo with a cassette/CD/MP3 player, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with a Homelink programmable transmitter, power rear quarter windows, and an additional 12-volt outlet. Heated side mirrors, a roof rack, and UV-cutting solar glass for the windshield and front side windows are also standard on the Sedona EX.

Options for the Sedona LX are limited to roof rails ($150), cross bars ($150), a rear-seat DVD entertainment system with wireless headphones ($1,200), a first-aid kit ($20), and a trailer hitch ($375).

Options for the Sedona EX include the stand-alone DVD entertainment system, first-aid kit, and trailer hitch. Other EX options get bundled into packages. The EX Luxury Package ($2,400) includes leather upholstery, heated front seats, power adjustable pedals, programmable memory for the driver’s seat/mirrors/pedals, steering wheel audio controls, a power sliding sunroof, automatic dual-zone climate control, an engine immobilzer, and a backup warning system. The EX Power Package ($1,000) includes power sliding side doors and a power rear liftgate controlled by the keyless entry fob or buttons inside the Sedona. The EX Premium Entertainment Package ($1,700) includes a 600-watt, 13-speaker Infinity Logic 7 multi-channel surround sound system and an in-dash six-disc CD changer. A fully-loaded 2006 Kia Sedona EX will cost $31,600.

As with every Kia, the new Sedona also gets a five-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, a ten-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, and five years of roadside assistance.
