The following is positive and helpful, then, see link for reviews of this year Kia Sedona: This is a rare wheelchair van, because most lowered floor minivans are other brands and models before being converted. Nearly all are made by the various American car companies and a few (about 10%) are made using Honda, Toyota and very occasionally other Japanese brands as their beginning chassis. You may recall that in the 80's and 90's Hyundai and Kia were becoming common? However, frankly, back then they were not comparable in features and quality to most other brands. However, that changed very positively beginning in the late 90's. Are they at the same level as Honda or Toyota, that is a real possibility. They actually have as good or better ratings in the era of this van than other American minivans (which comprise about 90% of all mobility access minivans) such as Dodge Caravan, Ford Windstar, Chevy Venture, etc. The fact is, KIA and Hyundai (same parent company) pulled out all the stops about 15 years ago and began making vehicles that compete very well against other vehicles. If you have seen commercials on TV claiming that people are switching from Honda and Toyota to Hyundai and Kia, well, its true...some people are doing that. This is a VERY nice van and stands up well to any other brand.

*** Of 175 reviews, this van received an average rating of 4.5 out of 5! (better than nearly any other minivan ever built) Please click here to read reviews

Options and Equipment

THE VAN:

This is a VERY fancy, luxury model minivan. This is the top-of-the-line "EX" model with 3.5 liter 6 cylinder (all minivan wheelchair vans have a 6) and has a very long list of standard and optional features such as the common items of: power windows, lock, mirrors; tilt wheel and cruise control. Plus it has many options such as: special stereo with CD and Cassette; rear ventilation; power, heated, LEATHER seats; alloy wheels; upgraded interior and exterior trim; sharp two-tone paint; and more

Special features note: this is the first wheelchair van I have had in 7 years that has a factory sunroof! It tilts and slides and is quite nifty


GOODIES

factory pinstripes

MOBILITY

* deeply lowered floor, extends from the rear seat area all the way to the dash. This creates super interior headroom and also great entry clearance.

* Power ramp out the passenger side door. This ramp is long and wide, allowing for nearly any wheelchair and person to go in and out.

* Power sliding passenger side door.

* Easily removable front passenger seat. In a matter of seconds, you can flip a lever and remove or install it.

* Many various locations in front, front-mid and rear-mid of floor for inserting anchor straps, for securing a wheelchair.

* Has one of the most desirable and for some folks most important features, which is a "turning seat". This allows the drivers seat to have extreme travel forward and backward, up and down and most importantly...it turns, to allow certain folks to transfer from their wheelchair into the seat and then turn forward and drive.

* Mobility conversion functions can be operated either with wireless remote, or via switches in various location

* This extensive conversion package includes wireless remote control, for operation of the ramp, door and suspension

Ownership

Other than the first 8 months of its life, this van has had the same owner since new.

Certified

This vehicle is 'CERTIFIED': There are a combined 76 mechanical and cosmetic aspects included in the Wheelchair Van Oasis Certification process. A foundational step of the rejuvenation process is when each vehicle receives an extensive inspection by an objective, independent  third- party service and repair facility.  Suggested service, repairs and improvements are then performed by various professional specialists. The result is your assurance  that each of the 76 aspects meets or exceeds the condition level of good, or satisfactory.

For details regarding list of 76 cosmetic and mechanical aspects, please

Each van does of course have various elements which exceed the promised level of good or satisfactory, which the Certified program assures. Some are brand new improvements performed during rejuvenation.  And others are obvious service or repairs performed recently, prior to my ownership.  As for those, I only list here those positives which are certain, based on my either having a receipt, and/or due to being obvious to the inspecting-mechanic. I refer to these as NEW OR RECENTLY SERVICED ASPECTS

Here are the new and recent items:

New: lube/oil/filter; wipers; transmission service; air filter; repairs, adjustments and service of power ramp and door and transfer seat
Recent: front brakes; rear brakes; all 4 tires

Approximate retail value/cost of above-listed items: $2,100
(extensive investment in cosmetic rejuvenation is in addition to this $2,100)

* Each of my vans has a superb paint sealant as the final step of the extreme detail. If you were to have a professional apply a treatment the cost would be several hundred dollars.

Summary of this Gem

In 7 years of specializing in wheelchair vans I had never had a Kia Sedona before this one. As we worked through our extensive rejuvenation process I became more and more impressed with this van. It is very attractive, comfortable and immaculate and has a full list of mobility features. Plus, who doesn't appreciate luxury, comfort and convenience such as heated, power-operated leather seats, power sunroof and a nice stereo? I understand that this may be the only Kia wheelchair van you've ever seen, but I promise you: this is a wonderful van
