Sedona's 3.5-liter V6 engine is standard on all models. It produces an impressive 269 horsepower with 246 lb.-ft. of torque and gets fuel economy of 17/24 mpg, made possible in part by the six-speed automatic transmission.
Sedona's four-wheel independent suspension consists of MacPherson struts with coil springs and a stabilizer bar in the front, while the rear uses a multi-link design with coil springs and a stabilizer bar. It’s carried over from the previous model, so you can expect a nice balance between good ride quality and decent handling characteristics.
Stopping power comes from a power-assisted four-wheel-disc ABS braking system with large-diameter vented front disc brakes and solid rear disc brakes. Sedona models come standard with 16-inch steel wheels and 225/70R16 tires on LX models, with optional 17-inch alloy wheels. Seventeen-inch alloy wheels fitted with 235/60R17 tires are standard on EX models.
Inside, Sedona has generous and versatile passenger and luggage space. Flip-and-fold second row seats provide easy access to third row seating. A simple-to-operate 60/40-split, folding-into-the-floor third row seat is standard on all models to create a flat cargo area.
