The Kia Sedona (GQ) is a minivan produced by the South Korean automaker Kia Motors from 2002 to 2005. It was the first generation of the Sedona model, marking Kia's entry into the minivan segment and aiming to compete with established rivals such as the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna. The Sedona (GQ) was built on a modified version of the Hyundai Entourage platform, sharing many components with that vehicle. The minivan was offered with a single engine option, a 3.5-liter V6 engine (G6BA) producing 194 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque. This powerplant was paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, sending power to the front wheels. The Sedona (GQ) was known for its roomy interior, capable of seating up to seven passengers. It offered various features, including power sliding doors and a rear liftgate, making it a practical family vehicle.

Despite its roomy interior and practicality, the Kia Sedona (GQ) received mixed reviews. While praised for its spacious cabin and relatively affordable price point, it was criticized for its lackluster performance, outdated interior design, and below-average fuel efficiency. The four-speed automatic transmission was also deemed sluggish and contributed to the vehicle's underwhelming acceleration and fuel economy. As a result, the Sedona (GQ) faced an uphill battle in a competitive market, and sales figures remained modest. Despite this, the model served as a stepping stone for Kia in the minivan segment, paving the way for the arrival of the more refined and successful second-generation Sedona in 2006.
