2016 KIA SEDONA
This model year
What the record shows
The 2016 Kia Sedona is a two-wheel-drive minivan, and the 15th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2002 to 2021.
The EPA rated one configuration: a single 3.3-litre six-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive only, a single transmission, Automatic (S6) and running on regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy is 20 mpg.
NHTSA's best overall crash rating for this model year is 5 out of five stars.
The federal record holds 295 owner complaints, 4 safety recalls, 1 investigation and 112 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
