CarGurus Analysis: 2018 Kia Sorento

Summary
With 108 currently listed for sale near Columbus, OH and an average price of $9,628, 38.0% of 2018 Kia Sorentos for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2018 Kia Sorento 4.6 / 5 stars.
78.7% of 2018 Sorento models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2018 Kia Sorento stands out as a well-rounded midsize SUV that blends style, space, and value. By this generation, Kia had given the Sorento a more rounded shape and a larger footprint, and the cabin benefited from improved materials and more passenger room. It also offered a more family-friendly layout than before, with a third row that was more accommodating than earlier Sorentos, though still best suited to kids. Owners also tend to praise its comfortable interior, smooth driving experience, and spacious feel.
For 2018, the Sorento’s appeal came from its broad mix of powertrains and features. The lineup included a 185-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder, a 240-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, and a 290-horsepower 3.3-liter V6, all paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. It also offered standard rear parking sensors and available forward collision and lane-departure warnings, along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. That combination made it easy to see why the Sorento was considered a strong value for family buyers.
There are tradeoffs, though. The base four-cylinder was described as too weak for the larger Sorento, and the V6 was noted as the best choice for those who needed the third row. Fuel economy also varied widely by engine, with the base four-cylinder estimated at 20/27 mpg city/highway, the turbo version at 21/28 mpg, and the V6 at 18/25 mpg. Even so, the 2018 Sorento remained distinctive for offering a practical, feature-rich package with a more upscale feel than many shoppers might expect.

The 2018 Kia Sorento SV is an AWESOME vehicle to own. The value is great! It has a lot of bells and whistles that some of the latest sports utility vehicles have.

There are 1,504 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.
Is the 2018 Kia Sorento a good car?
Yes — the 2018 Kia Sorento earns a 4.6/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners repeatedly praise its stylish design, comfortable interior, and smooth driving experience, and they also like the spacious feel and family-friendly layout. That makes it a sensible fit if you want a midsize SUV that balances value, comfort, and everyday practicality. With 33.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a competitive price.
Is the 2018 Kia Sorento reliable?
Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback also highlights dependable day-to-day comfort, with many drivers describing it as a vehicle they can count on for family use. At the same time, some owners mention potential mechanical concerns, so you should pay close attention to maintenance history and overall condition when shopping used. For long-term ownership, the biggest risk is buying a neglected example rather than the model itself.
What should I look for when buying a used 2018 Kia Sorento?
At 59.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any reported damage was repaired properly. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with a complex service history. Focus on overall condition, maintenance records, and signs of past bodywork so you can separate a clean, well-kept Sorento from one that may bring extra ownership risk.
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: 33.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,504 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 6.41% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 59.6% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $12,342, 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 $12,355 sits slightly below last year's $13,201.
That softer pricing suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. If you plan to sell later, the current trend means your future resale value will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the vehicle is documented. A clean history and strong maintenance records should matter more when the market is already showing some price pressure.
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:
- 33.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 59.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 6.41% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2017 if:
- At $11,206, the 2017 costs less than the current year's $12,355 average.
- It emphasizes durability and ownership confidence.
Consider the 2019 if:
- At $13,764, the 2019 costs more than the current year's $12,355 average.
- It adds updates, a more upscale feel, and top crash-test ratings.
The bottom line: The 2018 is the best all-around pick if you want a balanced mix of value, comfort, and available inventory. If your priority is saving money, the 2017 is the better budget path, while the 2019 makes sense if you want to spend more for added refinement and features.
