2019 Kia Sedona Vs. 2019 Honda Odyssey
As staunch defenders of the minivan as the perfect family vehicle, we maintain that many drivers who choose third-row crossovers and SUVs would be better served by the cavernous cargo space, comfortable seating and rich convenience features of the minivan. From the front row all the way to the third-row, minivan passengers enjoy some of the most luxurious seating arrangements and materials on the market. As vehicles for family transportation, their focus on utility tech is unmatched.
The 2019 Kia Sedona adds one more feature to this list of reasons to buy a minivan – style. We know what you’re thinking, minivans haven’t, historically, made any show of pretending to care about the appearance of their vehicles. The 2019 Kia Sedona is sporty, sophisticated and athletic looking – bearing proportions and contours like a crossover. Today, we’re comparing the 2019 Kia Sedona to the “interestingly-styled” 2019 Honda Odyssey. Let’s see how they match up!
