2016 KIA Sedona SXL Review

 I was provided the 2016 KIA Sedona for 7 days to review, all opinions are our own.


Hey Yall!  Well, would you look it there!  This momma is back rollin' in a minivan, the 2016 KIA Sedona SXL to be exact!



To think I would never be seen driving a van and look at me now, this is the second time this year, and I really enjoy this luxurious vehicle!

Who'd think that a minivan would be so fresh and hip to drive?  Well obviously everyone because the KIA Sedona had all the heads turning, especially all the people that work in my building.  I bet they're wondering,"How does this chick stay driving the freshest cars?"

As some of you know, I drove the 2015 KIA Sedona over the summer to go to Memphis, so it's only right to do it again but this time in the 2016 model.

Nothing much new with the 2016 KIA Sedona, but they added something that I wish they had in the 2015 vehicle, A DVD PLAYER!!!  Now this van is fully decked out and complete, perfect van for road trips because you have all you need!

Also, what is new is the seating color.  I prefer the creme color in the 2015 model, but the blueish color looks beautiful as well, goes well with the exterior color that is called Midnight Sapphire, a mix of black and blue.

When I told my girls we would be back in KIA's minivan to go to Memphis, they were ecstatic!  They couldn't wait to sit in the lounge chairs, kick up their feet, and enjoy their electronics.

This time, my girls were more interested in watching movies.  They hardly ever played video games or picked up their tablets.  I bought several movies for them to watch and it was easy for them to work the DVD player themselves.  Very kid friendly!  Now, my girls want to watch movies even on short distance trips like going to school.  LOL!  The van comes with two wireless headsets so Mr. M and I can listen to the radio instead of listening to their cartoons.  DVD player comes with a remote control as well so no need to get out of the lounge chairs to use the different DVD functions.

During our trip to Memphis, Mr. M was telling me how impressed the handling of the van was.  He also mentioned how smooth the van drives, it's like floating on air.  As you can tell, he likes the van as well.



We took the trip to Memphis after midnight on Saturday; it was cold, and the road was a bit icy.  There was an ice indicator on the dashboard that automatically came on to help the car have better traction control.  The highways were dark, and the high beam lights were bright enough to light up the whole road in front of us.  This KIA Sedona sure did make me feel safe and comfortable on the hazardous roads.

I showed off the KIA Sedona to my dad in Memphis, and he checked the inside and was amazed by all the features the van had.  He said, "Looks like this van has everything you all need for your trip, next thing you know it, you can live in it.  And is that a dual sunroof?  WOW!"  My dad saw the 2015 model as well and thinks both are equally fantastic.



Again, the KIA Sedona is awesome on gas!  We only had to fill up once right before we crossed the Tennessee state line. And the price to fill up the tank is affordable too, it's like in the $40 range for a full tank of gas.



Oh yeah, check out how roomy the back is.  Also has third row seating if you have extra people with you.

The going price for the 2016 KIA Sedona SXL with all the added features is $44,690.00.  I think that's a fair price.  You would pay more for other similar brands.

Darn you KIA!!!  Now you got me loving minivans, and I use to dislike them!  Who knew that vans can be so much fun to drive!



I took the KIA Sedona to more places than just Memphis.  I also took it for a spin to go to Goodwill of North Georgia to find low prices on Christmas decor to decorate my upstairs.

Also, my girls had a Winter Fest at their school we attended.  The Winter Fest was filled with families enjoying hot chocolate and cookies with milk, sucking on candy canes, enjoying Christmas stories in their pajamas while cuddling their teddy bears, and singing Christmas carols together.  My daughter's school does this every year, and my girls always look forward to this special event each year.

A lot of people frown upon minivans, do you think they're becoming cool to drive now?

  1. I don't know if I can convert to the mini van I will have to drive one first to see but it does look tempting

  2. Hi Lou, I'm not a fan of minivans either but it sure looks like a great ride for a road trip. I like the space if offers. Seems this will be really beneficial for large families.

    1. Yes, big families would love this van. My family is small so this van isn't needed during regular errands trips, only road trips.

  4. I love Kia. I own a Kia Rio myself and they really do put in a lot of bells and whistles even in their lower priced models. My son would love that console with the DVD player. #ProductReviewParty

    1. Someone in my family just got a KIA Rio and took pictures of it, I noticed all the features she had which is awesome for a lower price car. KIA Rio's are great budget friendly cars.
