Why it stands out

The 2018 Kia Sorento stands out as a family-oriented midsize SUV that blends style, space, and value. By this generation, the Sorento had grown into a more substantial vehicle with improved interior quality and more passenger room, while still offering the kind of feature content that makes it appealing to shoppers looking for a lot for their money. It also brought useful safety and convenience equipment into the mix, including available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which helped keep it competitive on the used market.

For 2018, the Sorento’s powertrain choices were broad enough to suit different needs. The base four-cylinder engine was the least powerful option, while the available turbocharged four-cylinder and V6 gave buyers stronger performance, with the V6 reserved for three-row models. Front-wheel drive was standard, and all-wheel drive was standard on EX and SX models and optional on the LX trim. Heated front seats were standard in Canada, which added to its everyday comfort, and the third row made it more practical for families, even if that extra seating was best left to smaller passengers.

There are trade-offs, though. The base engine was described as too weak for the larger Sorento, and the V6 was less efficient than the other engines. Early-model recall concerns also remain part of the Sorento story, so buyers should pay close attention to maintenance and recall completion. Even so, the 2018 Kia Sorento remains attractive for shoppers who want a well-equipped, spacious SUV with a comfortable ride and a strong value proposition.
