Believe it or not, you can break the front wheels of the 2006 Kia Sedona loose and lay a patch of rubber if you get into the throttle hard enough. That’s because the new Sedona offers the most powerful engine in the class, a new aluminum 3.8-liter V6 equipped with 24 valves and dual continuously variable valve timing (CVVT). This new V6 makes 244 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 253 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,500 rpm when running on premium unleaded. That’s more horsepower and torque than Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, GM, Honda, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota offer in a minivan. Run the 2006 Sedona on regular unleaded, and you only lose two horsepower and 2 lb.-ft. torque.
