CarGurus Analysis: 2018 Kia Sorento
Summary
With 123 currently listed for sale and an average price of $7,995, 34.1% of 2018 Kia Sorento listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2018 Kia Sorento 4.6 / 5 stars.
72.4% of 2018 Kia Sorento listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2018 Kia Sorento stands out as a family-oriented midsize SUV that blends style, space, and a long list of features. By this generation, the Sorento had grown into a three-row vehicle with enough room to comfortably accommodate adults, and its cabin gained a more luxurious feel thanks to wood-grained trim and quilted leather upholstery. Standard equipment on the base LX included a smart key with push-button start and smart cruise control, while the safety roster was also broad for the class, with collision warning, lane-keep assist, and rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist included.
What makes the 2018 model especially distinctive is the range of powertrains and equipment it offered. The standard setup was a 191-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an eight-speed transmission, while higher trims could get a 281-horsepower turbocharged upgrade. A hybrid was also available, using a 1.6-liter four-cylinder, an electric motor, and a six-speed transmission for a combined 227 horsepower, and it was the mileage leader at 39/35 mpg city/highway. Buyers who wanted more utility could also find second-row captain’s chairs starting with the EX trim, and a blind-spot view camera was available to project the blind spot into the instrument panel when a turn signal was activated.
There are a few tradeoffs to keep in mind. The blind-spot view camera was described as more distracting than helpful, especially at night, and the Sorento’s lineup could get expensive as equipment climbed. Still, for shoppers who wanted a stylish three-row SUV with strong safety content, multiple powertrain choices, and a more upscale interior than many rivals, the 2018 Kia Sorento had a lot going for it.

How much does the 2018 Kia Sorento cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $11,885 |
| Year-Round Low | $11,885 |
| Year-Round High | $13,126 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $13,126 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −9.46% |
Prices have softened 9.46% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 1,565 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.
Is the 2018 Kia Sorento a good car?
Yes — the 4.6/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise the stylish design, comfortable interior, smooth driving experience, spaciousness, and safety features. For you, that makes the Sorento a strong fit if you want a family-oriented midsize SUV with room for passengers and a more upscale feel than many rivals. With 33.0% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still meaningful value to be found in the market.
Is the 2018 Kia Sorento reliable?
Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
Owner feedback highlights a comfortable, smooth-driving SUV that many drivers feel good about living with over time. The review summary also points to concerns about potential mechanical issues, especially with the V6 engine, so you should pay close attention to maintenance history and current condition.
For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is buying a poorly maintained example, so a careful inspection matters.
What should I look for when buying a used 2018 Kia Sorento?
At 57.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should run a vehicle history report on any Sorento you are seriously considering and confirm whether it has been in a collision. Put extra inspection priority on body panels, alignment, tire wear, and signs of uneven repairs. You should also focus on overall condition and maintenance records, since a clean-looking listing can still hide expensive issues.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2018 Kia Sorento?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile options.
- Deal availability: 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,565 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.46% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 57.8% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $11,885, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2018 Kia Sorento's resale value?
The current average of $11,885 sits slightly below last year's $13,126.
That softer pricing suggests the Sorento has already moved through a meaningful portion of its depreciation curve, which can help future resale stability if you buy at the right price. If you keep mileage reasonable and maintain the vehicle well, you may be better positioned when it is time to sell. Strong demand for family-friendly SUVs can also help support used-market interest.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2018 Kia Sorento or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2018 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2018 if:
- 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 57.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.46% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2017 if:
- At $10,882, the 2017 costs less than the current year's $11,885 average.
- It emphasizes broad segment strength, comfort, safety, and value.
Consider the 2019 if:
- At $13,613, the 2019 costs more than the current year's $11,885 average.
- It adds updates, a more luxurious feel, and top crash-test confidence.
The bottom line: You should start with the 2018 if you want a balanced mix of value, owner satisfaction, and available inventory. If your budget is tighter, the 2017 is the better price-first alternative. If you want to spend more for a newer-feeling package, the 2019 is the upgrade path to compare.
