The EX does include a few other options along with the ABS though, including a chrome grille, two-tone paint, a roof rack, rear spoiler, fog lights, 8-way power driver's seat and 4-way power passenger seat, two additional cupholders, a cassette player, day/night rear view mirror, rain sensing wipers, power rear side windows (a rare option), and remote keyless entry, which I personally would not want to live without especially in a vehicle the size of this minivan.

Only a short list of interior options speaks well of just how well equipped the Sedona is in base guise. (Photo: Trevor Hofmann, Canadian Auto Press)
A few interior enhancements include a leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel and imitation wood-trim - I appreciate Kia being honest about the faux wood trim instead of calling it 'woodgrain' or something of the like.

The Sedona EX also replaces the standard 15-inch steel wheels with 15-inch alloy rims. The tires continue to measure P215/70R15 on all trim packages. A full-size spare is included as standard equipment by the way.

The Sedona EX, which barely breaks $30,000, has a few extra options including seven leather seats. (Photo: Kia)
The top-tier Sedona is the EX Luxury, finally breaking the $30K mark at $30,495. What do you get for the extra $2,200? A power glass sunroof, leather door trim and leather seats, that's a great deal considering there are seven of them to upholster.
