2021 Honda Odyssey vs 2021 Kia Sedona near Manassas, VA

2021 Honda Odyssey Elite shown in Obsidian Blue Pearl.

With the release of the 2021 Honda Odyssey and 2021 Kia Sedona, car buyers may be at a crossroads when choosing the suitable minivan for their family. While both models are impressive, they are not equal in terms of feature availability. To show you how brightly the Odyssey shines, the team at Honda of Chantilly have put together a quick overview comparing these two contenders. 

Performance

When putting both engines up against one another, it's clear to see how much the 2021 Odyssey surpasses the 2021 Sedona. The Honda model sports a 3.5L V6 system, which effortlessly sends you down Arlington Boulevard with 280 horsepower1 and 262 lb.-ft. of torque2. You may feel less than thrilled when getting behind the wheel of the Sedona, as its 3.3L V6 powertrain only musters up 276 horsepower and 248 lb.-ft. of torque. You'll also experience a noticeable difference when accelerating since the Kia minivan has an 8-speed automatic transmission whereas the Honda's 10-speed automatic transmission provides smoother gear shifts. You'd be mistaken that the Odyssey's extra verve will send you the pump sooner than the Sedona. That's because the Honda minivan has a 19/28/22 MPG city/hwy/combined3 fuel economy rating, while its competitor has 18/24/21 MPG city/hwy/combined4.

Interior

When you step into the cabin of the 2021 Honda Odyssey, you won't want to drive anything else thanks to its superior available features. We first would like to note that the Kia Sedona only offers three trims to choose from, which can narrow your scope finding specific amenities. The Odyssey is proud to include five editions, each more exciting than the last. Both models offer an 8.0-inch touchscreen display, but only one trim of the Sedona has it while the Honda van has it on four! Also included on four of the five Odyssey trims is a tri-zone automatic climate control system that lets you, your copilot, and rear occupants set their ideal temperature preferences. Unfortunately, the Kia minivan only has it on the highest trim, which may make it hard when searching for that specific model at a dealership. Lastly, you'll get treated to the available HondaVAC® in the Odyssey, a removable waste bin and built-in vacuum for easy cleanup. The Sedona does not have this add-on within its cabin.

Safety

It doesn't matter if every seat is filled within a minivan, each passenger is of highest priority to Honda, which is why they've included key safety technologies on nearly all trims of the Odyssey. Standard on each edition is Lane Departure Warning5, which provides alerts to make you aware of your actions in the event you accidentally veer off course. Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow6 is another equipped tool that allows you to maintain a safe interval from the driver in front of you, which is an ideal technology to have when driving on long straightaways. Lastly, Forward Collision Warning7 is standard to inform you of any avoidable frontal accidents that can happen. While these advancements can all be found on the Sedona, they are not standard — which can make it more difficult when finding the trim you desire. 

Now that you know which is the winner between the 2021 Honda Odyssey vs 2021 Kia Sedona near Manassas, VA, visit us at Honda of Chantilly for a test run. See you soon!
