The first-generation Kia Sedona (GQ) was marketed from 1998 to 2006 as the North American and UK badge for the Kia Carnival MPV. Built as a high-value family vehicle, it featured dual sliding side doors, 7-passenger seating across three rows, and an overall length of 4,890 mm with a 2,910 mm wheelbase. This generation of the Sedona (GQ) was produced from 1998 to 2006 and offered in минивэн body styles. Built on an engineered platform, it features strong structural rigidity, refined aerodynamics, and advanced occupant safety engineering. The generous wheelbase and clever interior packaging ensure superior passenger accommodation and ergonomic comfort for long travel.

US models were powered by a 3.5-liter Sigma V6 engine producing 195 hp paired with a 5-speed automatic gearbox. UK buyers were offered a 2.9-liter CRDi turbo-diesel (144 hp). A 2001 update refreshed the front styling with a vertical chrome grille and updated dashboard instrumentation. The powertrain lineup features modern engines optimized for thermal efficiency, balancing responsive acceleration with economical fuel consumption. Power is delivered through reliable manual or automatic transmissions. Mid-cycle updates introduced modernized LED lighting graphics, premium cabin materials, and enhanced active driver assistance suites.
