Kia Shelving the Sedona, For Now

Thanks to a number of redesigns, South Korean automaker Kia has become increasingly popular over the last several years, and now it's sending another one of its cars to be retooled. The company's minivan, the Kia Sedona, will not be returning for 2013 but may make a return in 2014 with a new look, according to The Car Connection.

It's certainly a good decision. While much of Kia's fleet has been given a sporty, more youthful look, the Sedona has not been given the same treatment. Despite getting a headlight update in 2011, it's one of the only cars offered by Kia that has not been drastically redesigned over the last decade or so. Additionally, with its main competitors offering an updated look, it is about time for the Sedona to get a facelift. While there are no definite plans for a 2014 model, it seems likely.

"We see the minivan market as one that we want to stay in," Kia spokesman James Hope told the news source.

Drivers looking for a used minivan, whether Sedona or not, may want to take a few tips from Kelley Blue Book, which recently revealed its picks for the best cars in the segment.

At the top of the list was the Honda Odyssey, which is ideal for larger families who need considerably more room. It also includes a number of useful features, from small refrigerators to entertainment screens. Also making the cut, according to KBB, were the Ford Flex, Toyota Sienna and Chevrolet Traverse.
