The Kia Sedona, known as the Carnival in some markets, is a mid-size minivan that enjoyed a successful run from its 1998 introduction to its discontinuation in 2005. The 2002-2005 model years saw the introduction of the second generation of the Sedona, a vehicle that significantly improved upon its predecessor in terms of styling, interior space, and features. These Sedonas were built on a unibody platform and offered three rows of seating, making them a popular choice for families and those who needed ample cargo space. Power came from a 3.5-liter V6 engine, producing 200 horsepower and 220 lb-ft of torque, mated to either a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission.

The 2002-2005 Kia Sedona/Carnival was loaded with features for its time, including power windows and locks, air conditioning, a CD player, and a variety of safety features. Optionally, buyers could spec their Sedonas with leather upholstery, sunroof, cruise control, keyless entry, and side airbags. Notably, the Sedona was praised for its spacious and comfortable interior, offering generous legroom and headroom for all three rows, as well as a considerable amount of cargo space behind the third row. It also featured a unique sliding door design that offered easy access to the second and third rows. While the Sedona/Carnival was a capable and practical vehicle, it faced stiff competition from established players in the minivan segment. Nevertheless, it gained a reputation for its affordability and reliability, particularly in its earlier years.
