The Best Minivan Review Ever - 2016 Kia Sedona
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 11. 2015
- The 2016 Kia Sedona. The best review of a minivan. The Kia Sedona packs 7 or 8 people, features a V6 engine with 6 speed transmission, and has plenty of torque for hauling all of your stuff. Features are endless: heated and vented front seats, heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise control, 360 degree camera system, keyless push button start, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, automatic power windows all around, power lift gate, tri-zone climate control, front and rear parking assist, chrome wheels, nappa leather seat trim, driver seat position memory, yes it’s got it all.
But what else can the Kia offer? How about reclining rear seats? The only other vehicle I’ve had this nice of a seating position in the rear seats is a $200,000 Maybach S600. Dual sunroofs. Well what if you’d like to chauffeur and want the ability to open and close the doors for the rear passengers? Yep, you can do that. It also features a completely hands free power liftgate. You simply stand next to the back with the key in your pocket, and it opens up for you, no fumbling required. When you put the car in reverse, on top of the ridiculous number of cameras and available views, the side mirrors automatically tilt downward to help with backing up or parallel parking.
While I'm not saying the Kia Sedona is the best minivan out there, it certainly does have an abundance of features and offer a nice, compliant ride. I set out with the goal of creating the most interesting minivan review ever. Undoubtably not that challenging, since competition is rather... mundane.

Am I the only person who's always loved minivans for all the room they provide, and a lot of these new minivans have some crazy features built into them.
I like minivans too (and I am a guy!). We have two kids but we also love the space. We were on a road trip in our Sienna and were able to pick up a full-size antique armchair that someone threw away (for restoration purposes). And that was on top of everything else we had in the Sienna! Can't do this with an SUV unless it's a full sized SUV like the Escalade or Sequoia. And a minivan is cheaper to buy and run too.
Nope, I bought the Pacfica ( It was 41,000 bought worth the price) And we have 5 kids so its good for us, Plus there is some kind of IPad or TV at the back.
Therobloxgamer I'd get a minivan like the pacifica or sedona for lots of space and luxury then engine swap it
They are far more useful than a crossover SUV. I just wish there were ones with more offroad/anyroad capability. If the Subaru Ascent was configured van, I would probably buy one soon.
I've owned several, one before I even had kids
I can't believe I just watched a full review on a minivan.
+rorschach775 Yes, would love to see him cover a R63
I've watch full reviews of minivans everyday
Lol
I can't say I've watched a lot of minivan reviews (or any) but this one has definitely been the best. Jason, you've done the impossible and made a minivan review entertaining. Bravo. I can't believe I'm saying this but I hope to see more of these in the future!
@subaruwrxfan now it's your turn to review one! lol.
Haha, thanks Matt! When life gives you lemons, right?
+Engineering Explained It is time to turn up the jam.
Good review, first time viewing Engineering Explained reviews. But probably won't view any other/future EE reviews. Burping at the end of the video was pretty gross, immature--not a fan of juvenile humor.
Best review yet. I'm a car guy and I actually sat through this whole entire video and learned about... a minivan? That takes some skills right there, great video.
Hahaha, success! Glad you enjoyed it!
+Tiny Turbo Seriously! I never thought I'd watch, let alone sit through, a minivan review!
Minivans are very versatile vehicles. I've used mine for everything from child transporter to truck like use with lumber, brick, furniture, and appliances. They're one of the most underrated and looked down types of transportation on the road.
I'll never buy a minivan. 10 years from now, I'll reply to this post saying 'I don't know what I'd do with out my minivan.'
+muscles662988 I will sell my child on Craigslist before I buy a minivan.
+Nick Olsen Haha oh no! SUVs for both of us then.
Cough cough my mom 10 yrs ago cough
His and Hers SUVs His-Cadillac Eacalade and Her-Audi Q7
1 year reminder, we will still be waiting 9 years from now.
As a driver of a 1983 rx7 I can honestly say I'm impressed with all the tech you get in the van lol. I'd never own one but damn it looks comfy.
the 159 people that disliked this are disappointed honda odyssey owners.
It's a nice van but not being able to remove the 2nd row really holds this van back. It's not something you use all the time but comes in handy.
@@fortunatedad7695 one of the contributing reasons why I bought the Pacifica instead
@@ingram1225 I guess if your primarily using this to shuttle around people ok, but functionality wise as a dad it's nice to be able to utilize all that space or even if one day you wanted to use the van as like a service vehicle.
It really limits the buyers for it as well when you go to sell it one day for the same reasons.
Pacificas? I won't get started on them haha cheers
Never thought id watch a minivan review
you are getting better and better, Jason.
I never watch minivan reviews because they are always dull, and personally i'm not interested in them, but strangely I couldn't stop watching this until it had finished. Well done.
+Ethan Gee I experienced the same phenomenon when watching this as well.....
Haha, goal achieved! :)
Not sure why this Minivan is being laughed at when it's faster than an FR-S!
This guy. I like this guy.
Thanks!
0:44 "...a sense of hope". Absolutely fantastic review, but let's face it, buying a minivan means you gave up all hope.
so much tech, nice seats, and it doesnt look bad for a minivan... i kinda like it!
For a minivan, this Kia Sedona aesthetically looks good, and seems to have pretty much everything you could ever need or want in a big people/stuff carrier. Thoroughly impressed. Also I love what you did with this video, so much fun to watch!
When one of the best looking cars in Kia's fleet... is a Minivan???
Loved the review!
very cool van! I'm not a big fan of a centre console between the two front seats on vans and pickups though, I like having the space to walk through it or for stuff.
and I don't know why people think vans are boring! You can take them for long road trips, sleep in them, haul lots of stuff, it's so practical.
Love the comedy!
This is one of the best reviews I've watched on any vehicle. Period. Jason is not only one of the smartest car reviewers on CZcams, but he also incorporates a perfect dosage of humor during his reviews. Most importantly, those two traits don't do any good if you can't convey information in a way for your viewers to understand what you're communicating. Jason conveys this information in a way for viewers to both learn and laugh. Extremely well done! (Note: I'm not a novice when it comes to watching CZcams reviews on cars. In fact, I often wonder how I'm actually able to accomplish anything with how many reviews I watch.)
+Kezmosis appreciate the kind words!
That minivan is nicer than some luxury cars haha. Still if you want something with tons of room that is nice and comfortable for long drives you really can't beat a minivan.
My friend your reviews are getting better and better with a bit of humour as well. keep em coming!
You've raised the bar with this review. We need more of these entertaining reviews. Great job!
I was waiting for this one! THANK GOD!
I initially skipped over this video when I first saw it in my feed but I'm glad that I came back to it. It's a good & entertaining video that is not easy to do in my opinion. I even laughed out loud a couple of times.
I love your enthusiasm Jason, this was a brilliant vid! You've come a long way in terms of quality content, keep it up!
I like the humor and jump cuts , reviews are getting better! Good job ! You should do a review of all the main mini vans ( Toyota, Honda and Nissan) I think mini vans and underrated and overlooked by most family's looking for a vehicle. Mini van have definitely stepped up their game these past few years
I'm glad my first minivan review experience was a pleasant and informative one.
A minivan is like a living-room on wheels. It doesn't get any better than that!
First minivan review I've seen. Thoroughly enjoyed it, EE. Thanks!
Never forget "Regular Car Reviews: 1994 Dodge Caravan"
+Test Drive Blogs My family still uses one!
Mine`s a `93, & still rolling-on ! Have so much "history" with "Jeny," will have to wait till she finally gives up the ghost before a KIA SEDONA takes over her stall, er, garage.
I was skeptical.... But this IS the best minivan review, and of your BEST reviews!! Great info and VERY entertaining!
Best Minivan review ever XD ! Now i might just get a Sedona for my next car!
I like genius humor and you are one of the few who can pull it off.
Finally an awesome detailed video 🙌Thank you
two thumbs up! glad to see you are getting out of you comfort zone like this review, and like a lot of other people I watch the video from begin to end!
Coolest minivan interview! love this channel
This video is hilarious. This guy is awesome! Math about kids, and the little comments about minivans , OMG, I don't think it can get any better.
I love the comical style of commentary! I hope you consider bringing it to your other reviews.
Your videos keep getting better and better.
You killed this review! Funny as hell. My Zx10r for adrenaline, minivan for working and partying
Awesome review thanks! Trying to decide and this helps!
Absolutely, hands down ...awesome... I'm definitely watching more of his videos!!
great work enjoyed every minute.
Thought this was going to be boring, but was very pleased that your humor started to run the show, you're pretty funny man. I'd enjoy more humor in the future! You also got a car guy to watch a mini van review if that says something
I'm impressed with your research. A+
Never knew minivans can be this stylish and sporty, getting this asap
I always expect minivans to sound like straight 6 diesels for some reason. It's weird hearing a small bus with a high revving v6.
this was one of your best videos! love it Jason.
How could anyone dislike this??!? Best video yet! Took the editing to a whole new level. Keep it up! 👍🏻
i loved your approach to this video. it was hilariously funny and enjoyable to watch. great job.
loved it.!!!!!
Went shopping for a mini-van for a friend. Never intended to buy a KIA originally but was quite impressed with this Sedona after the test drive.
I bought a Kia Sedona LX 2017 it had 13,000 miles right now. It was really solid tank smooth to drive a minivan. Comfortable leg room and head room. Deep storage in the back. I highly recommend to everyone!
Little sceptical at the beginning, but astonishingly the review was very interesting and funny. Thank you, Jason.
Definitely one of your best. You told a story and it worked. Thanks!
We have a 2016 Kia Sadona and absolutely love it
Excellent and Entertaining review bro.
I have to pause and leave a comment, you buying logic for minivan is just perfect.
Great video! In fact I was so inspired that I decided to make a minivan performance review of my own =)
It looks like a small touch insanity is key to reviewing so-called "boring" vehicles like these.
Dang those back seats are sweet. Loved the review, your getting better and better every video!
I have no interest in minivans, but I watched this entire review because of how it was delivered. This was awesome! I'd enjoy more of this style of video, regardless of what you're reviewing!
I throughly enjoyed the video. Good research with some humor.
For some reason you remind me of CGP Grey. This is the first review of a minivan in its entirety I ever watched. You got talent, sir.
I love how funny this channel has become lately!
With each review you get better and better, and this one just confirms that. Indeed goal achieved. You were able to make petrolheads watch a minivan review!! for god's sake! Congratulations. Now i'm just really looking forward for scooters reviews hahaha
Thank you!!
That was a fantastic review Jason, hahaha. I was legitimately interested in the whole video and hearing about all those features makes my 06 Lancer Evo IX MR sound like an ancient relic, lol (Obviously they're two completely different vehicles, but it's always nice to see what newer vehicles are coming out with these days). I think my favorite feature was the one touch power windows all around, I'd really like to have that in the Evo since I always drive with the windows down. But anyways, great review and keep up the good work dude!
Dude thats really the best review ! Keep them coming :D
We had 5 kids. They are grown and gone, but my wife still likes having a minivan, currently a 2014 Grand Caravan.
Thank you! Very informative
This was an amazing review, i'm not at all interested in a minivan and i started watching it because it was funny and before i knew it i had finished the video. Props.
These reviews are getting better and better
This review made me rethink minivans. As a mother of 3 (24-10yo),adventure seeker and an environmentalist, I have always stuck to a middle of the road cross over hybrids w a third seat option. Minivans are for sissies. Then I watched your review before test driving crossover pathfinders, four runners and standard SUV's (Tahoe, Suburban, explorer) comparing them in real time performance against my husband (Sedona vs Sorento, pathfinder vs quest, explorer and suburban vs crysler t&c and caravan) for longer term one week test drives. The minivan won everytime on fuel economy and features for $ spent! No matter the brand. Every single time! While we loved the four wheel drive in suv's we didn't notice enough of a lag time in their minivan counterparts to discount them in our mountainous terrain. Head room was key: I am under 5 foot tall and my "male unit" is unusually tall -'our 13 yo is 5'11". There was a minimum of head room in even the largest suv to account for tall passengers in the 3rd row. $ for $ a minivan offered the best features and fuel economy for every $ spent. We are banking the difference in mutual funds.
Friggin love these vans.
Awesome video; however, I do wish you showed more of the rear / cargo space.
That's what she said
This was the BEST minivan review I have ever seen. Do more car review please.
like the sense of humor, and wow all those electrical and sensory features, just in case my most modern vehicle is a super duty f250 2006, so i dont have that many features.
yo, this dude getting super funny. I've been subscribed but man, this is a good laugh and review :D
Great review!
Just wait -- When the GIrlfriend become a wife and kids are running around, a minivan is far better than a cross over or SUV. And what about those people that have dogs --- lots of dogs. can't put them in a pickup truck -- they would all jump out. Nope, as a grandpa -- I had 1 station wagon and two minivans. They fit the bill for what they are needed for -- now as a single grandpa (ladies) I drive the grandpa version of the minivan, the Kia Soul. Great car -- again for its purpose -- I would not go stop light dragging against a kid in a Radio Flier wagon, but it does go from A to B.
Next time, you need to test the off road capability of the mini van -- you know -- gravel parking lots.
Great job, and for an engineer, rather humorous. I still want to meet the woman in the Miata's test drive...
***** So I guess that make your neighbor and I "Soul" mates :-) :-)
+Todd Dembsky Only if they live in Australia.
+Todd Dembsky That's one of the best reviews I've ever read
+Todd Dembsky LOL great comment, sir.
Most minivans actually have terrible safety ratings since they're fatter than their sedan counterparts, yet are still usually on the same chassis.
Can’t believe vans are being more awesome than they were earlier! :D
excellent review!
I couldn't find anything to watch and I came across this... Time well spent!
+Ankur Sharma ha, glad you enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed this review!
Congrat This review of yours was almost on par with Top Gear's old Citroen Berlingo review (which is easily the best minivan review ever made).
Hey if it's anywhere close I'll take it! Just wanted to make a minivan review people would actually watch! :)
Best reviews I've seen in a while
Good review. The belch at the end capped it off nicely. 😏
excellent review
@Engineering Explained : I've watched at least 10 minivan reviews, and yours is the best.
Never thought I'd buy a minivan, but dieselgate happened and I'm selling my beloved TDI sportwagen 6-spd manual.
2 kids, 1 dog, and adding another dog, so it was time for something bigger. Minivan it was and Sedona SXL was the best fit.
Great review, I don't think I ever laughed while watching a review before. Definitely subscribing, also I don't have kids so its nice to see someone review it without that
Historic highway! Love it.
One of your best videos!
Loved it. It's your best CZcams video ever!
Ha! This was a good review! :D
I think the features are what really sell the larger vehicles, and not the performance. It was a nice change of pace from your normal reviews.
yup, this is probably the best minivan review out there! great humor :)
That video was hilarious, keep it up Jason
Great one Jason :) I always appreciate humour. One thing i lacked in it is current retail price, so i can make generic idea of where is this car market wise
Those back seats are dope af.
VERY WELL DONE!
Hilarious! This is why I keep coming back :D
You're so cool man, nice review.
Oh my gosh I just found you, you are so funny! Just subscribe hope your other videos are just as good! Hahahaha
