Following a brief hiatus in 2013, the Kia Sedona is back with a familiar design and slight upgrades. The award-winning family mini-van has served as a respectable, quality vehicle since its debut in 1998, and has accumulated a loyal following due to its reputation. For 2014, the Kia Sedona features a new grille, updated lighting and minimal modifications to its design, giving its look new appeal. An accommodating interior and laundry list of safety functions provide additional reasons why the mini-van is a perfect choice for growing families. Continue on for a brief summary of the 2014 Kia Sedona in Phoenix, then scroll down for more details on its amenities.

Equipped with standard fog lamps, new lighting and an updated grille, the 2014 Sedona sports a revised exterior, but still bears a resemblance to its former 2012 model. Inside, the mini-van is spacious and functional, offering seven-passenger seating and fold-down second- and third-row seating. The convenient function provides optimal cargo space, which is complemented by a crafty storage console designed specifically for iPads - ideal for young, tech savvy generations and acknowledged by early 2014 Kia Sedona reviews. Standard features such as Bluetooth connectivity, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and cruise control are available on LX models, while heated outside mirrors, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and an eight-speaker audio system come standard on EX. For additional luxury, two package upgrades are also available.

To secure passengers and drivers at all times, the Sedona showcases an array of safety options. An Anti-Lock Brake System, front/side airbags and Electronic Brake Force Distribution are all standard features. A Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Traction Control System and Electronic Stability Control serve as optional upgrades. A rearview camera also provides extra visibility on EX models and a Back-Up Warning System comes standard on LX models to alert drivers of possible obstructions and prevent accidents.
