A quietly handsome van. Kia has cracked the code of how to make a minivan tastefully stylish yet fully functional.
Many people don't care for the Odyssey's zig-zagging lines. But they are interesting. The Sienna's face is much less bold than the Sedona's.
I didn't care for the hunk of white plastic on the otherwise dark instrument panel. The Kia's interior is more tastefully styled and feels warmer and more luxurious.
Odyssey's interior looks a bit sci-fi, feels the most plasticky, has the most confusing controls. The revised instrument panel styling is more conservative--except for the light gray trim plates.
Easiest to use controls in this threesome thanks to large, logically arranged buttons and knobs. The Sienna's driver seat is cushier than the Sedona's, but provides less lateral support.
The cushy, comfortably high second-row seats lose their legrests when all-wheel-drive is added. A couple of adults can sit comfortable in the third row. As in other minivans, three would be tight.
The second-row seats partially collapse to open up a wider path to the third row. More cargo area behind the third row than any vehicle save the largest SUVs and full-size vans.
The third-row seat stows to yield a flat floor. Pushing the removable second-row seats all the way forward opens up some additional cargo space.
