The overview
A significantly updated Sedona arrived in 2015, with a refined V6, room for seven or eight passengers and an upscale interior. The biggest letdown is the ride. It's way too stiff for a family transport. What's more, our Sedona suffered from a cacophony of squeaks and rattles. The EX is the best overall value. Add the optional EX Premium package for its blind spot monitoring and cross-traffic alert systems and lumbar adjustment on the power driver's seat. The Sedona scores as an IIHS Top Safety Pick, in part because it aced the difficult small overlap crash test. While blind spot monitoring is readily available, other advanced safety equipment like forward-collision warning is restricted to the top-trim level only. Beginning with the 2017 model year, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities are added to the infotainment system. Freshened for 2019, the V6 engine is now paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. 2021 was the final model year.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
