Dodge Sprinter Van 3500 vs. Kia Sedona Review

Performance
In terms of horsepower, the Kia packs quite a punch and will knock the Sprinter Van 3500 down a few rungs. However, remember that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With its tighter turning radius, the Kia Sedona is definitely sprier than the Dodge, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the other hand, bear in mind that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Kia Sedona has a more massive engine than the Sprinter Van 3500. Bear in mind that smaller engines are often cheaper to fix, but smaller engines can be stressed more. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Dodge Sprinter Van 3500 isn't much more powerful than the Kia.

Utility
Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the Sedona over the Dodge Sprinter Van 3500. Towing is significantly more the Dodge Sprinter Van 3500's forte than it is the Kia's.

The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Kia is substantially cheaper to get to the dealership than the Dodge Sprinter Van 3500. When it comes to MSRP, the Kia Sedona costs tremendously less than the Dodge Sprinter Van 3500.
