The 2012 Kia Sedona vs. the 2012 Toyota Sienna

 In the minivan market, there are quite a few competitors, but Kia is a top contender, and that's why the 2012 Kia Sedona is so popular with drivers in Anamosa, IA. When comparing the Sedona to the 2012 Toyota Sienna, the Kia minivan has advantages that smart buyers appreciate. McGrath Kia invites you to consider the difference, and then come visit our showroom in Hiawatha to see this popular family minivan for yourself.

             Warranty

Kia offers generous warranties with their vehicles, which is a great way to help protect your automotive investment. The new Sedona comes with a 60-month/60,000-mile basic warranty, while the Sienna comes with 36 months/36,000 miles of basic coverage. When it comes to powertrain guarantees, the new Sedona is covered for 120 months/100,000 miles and the recent Sienna is protected for 60 months/60,000 miles. The Kia minivan has almost double the duration of coverage as the Toyota vehicle, but with the powertrain that translates to 5 additional years of peace of mind.

             Passenger Room

Though both vehicles are rated to comfortably seat 7 passengers, the recent Sedona has more passenger room. Overall, the Kia minivan has 7.9 cubic feet more volume for passengers than the Sienna. That means there is 1.2 inches more legroom in the front of the Sedona, as well as 3.3 inches more rear legroom.

The Kia vehicle is also set a little lower than the Toyota, which means easier entrance and exits for travelers. The Sedona is 1.7 inches lower than the Sienna when measuring front step-up height. Concerning rear height for stepping up into the minivan, the Sedona is once more 1.5 inches lower than its competitor.

             Towing

Though the engines for these family vehicles are rated extremely close, there is one major advantage to owning a 2012 Kia Sedona: it is capable of towing up to 3,500 pounds, whereas the Sienna wasn't designed with this flexibility in mind - it's not built to handle towing.
