Kia Carnival/Sedona - Generation 1.2 (2002-2003)

KIA CARNIVAL/SEDONA (2002-2003)

An update in January 2002 gave this van a new face, updated profile, new amenities, a less optioned RS variant, and used the Sedona name. Initially, a single variant Sedona was available but some options got transferred later on.
