Kia Sedona: best and worst years

Of the 4 Sedona model years with enough complaints to compare, owners filed the most about the 2022 (4.37) and the fewest about the 2016 (0.83), per 1,000 sold in the first three years.

Median across these years: 0.62 per 1,000 sold in the first three years. A model year well above its own nameplate’s median is the signal worth acting on.

Questions buyers ask about the Kia Sedona

Which Sedona years have the most complaints?

2022 (4.37), 2008 (1.75). Figures are complaints per 1,000 sold.

Which Sedona years have the fewest complaints?

2016 (0.83), 2023 (0.85). A year with too few complaints to rank is left out: few reports is not the same as a good year.

How to read this

What is counted?

Safety complaints owners filed with NHTSA in each model year’s first three years on the road, divided by how many were sold, so a year that sold twice as many cars is not penalised for it.

Why are some years drawn in dashed line?

Too few owners filed complaints about them to rank them. Few reports is not the same as a good year, so those years are left out of best and worst.
