Kia reckons Sedona is safe, pointing to an above-average score in US tests. Car safety experts this side of the pond – Euro NCAP – disagree, awarding it a mere two stars. Dual airbags and side impact protection are standard. No alarm on any model.

It’s a big MPV – even by the standards of the class – and has more space than some of its more expensive rivals. The seats are removable (although this wasn’t the case in earlier cars). Not enough cabin storage areas.
