KIA SEDONA Uncommon
As of 2026 Q1, 6,412 KIA SEDONAs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 29,694 in 2014 Q3 — only 22% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 23,282 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1,033 a year (16.1% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2030 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 48% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.
