Kia Sedona VS Chevrolet Suburban


If you follow long on Instagram then you saw I posted this picture back in July.
We have taken 2 big family road trips this year so we rented cars for each of them.
We rented the Kia Sedona back in April for Rachel & Patricks Wedding.
My Aunt rented the Chevrolet Suburban for our trip in July to PA for a girls weekend. 


I thought I should share my Pros and Cons of both vehicles. 
They are both 2016 models. 
They both have leather interior. 
My girls loved them both. 
I loved them both for different reason. 



2016 Kia Sedona
David and I rented this so for his cousins wedding. 
For my first mini van I'm glad it was a KIA, I never thought I'd love a KIA.
But y'all I really loved this van. 
The entire trip back while David drove, I searched for the best deals on a model for myself. 
Needless to say David didn't think a van was a necessary purchase. 
Pros: 
7 Seats! I love that the middle had bucket seats.
Tons of leg room. 
Middle Console organization. 
RADIO AND BLUETOOTH (guys I have been without for 2 years!)
Drove like an SUV, you're up really high. 
Leather Interior (so easy to wipe clean with little ones)
Trunk was very deep. 
Automatic Side doors. (Tensley LOVED this!)
Great Gas Mileage (highway was close to 28)

Cons:
The 3rd row sinks down a tad. It's lower then the middle row. 
Automatic side doors (I know what momma puts this on the con, but when you 4 year old is constantly wanting to 'help' open and close them. It can make you a bit nervous and crazy.)
Hard to reach the girls from the driver seat (I'm spoiled being able to reach them both)
It's a minivan....... 




2016 Chevrolet Suburban
My Aunt rented this for our girls weekend to PA.
We went to see the play Sampson and shop with her best friend. 
I have been dreaming about being a suburban momma. 
Guys my dreams came true for an entire weekend.
I will say this the suburban hype is all that it is cracked up to be. 
David forget the van get this momma a Surburban PRONTO!


Pros:
The Trunk Space totally put the Sedona's trunk space to shame!
Leather Interior 
The middle console organization. Y'all I could fit my purse in there and it's a BIG Bag!
8 Seats...Wahoo more friends!
Blindspot Mirror lights. (so helpful when needing to change lights)
Drove smoothly and easily. 
Keyless Entry (This is a must for all mommas!)
Key Engine Start (Again a must for all mommas!)
Not a Minivan! :) 

Cons:
BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR (OUCH!)
8 seats... guys in an SUV you need middle bucket seats. 
Radio/DVD Middle Screen...it's overwhelming
Blindspot Mirror lights, until you get use to them they will give you major ANXIETY! 



I hope this review of both vehicles was helpful. I know that once David and I are ready to upgrade my Jetta to something bigger we will definitely keep these rentals and their reviews in our minds.


 Disclaimer, this post is in NO WAY sponsored by Kia or Chevrolet. We rented each both theses vehicles on our own. The opinions of each vehicle are my own. THANK YOU so much for supporting the blog! Love Y’all!
