Compact SUV · what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.

The 2018 Kia Sorento is a compact suv we track across the used market in Canada. It comes in gas (12.2 L/100 km) and hybrid (6.6 L/100 km) forms, so the main choice is fuel — the hybrid earns its premium back over enough kilometres. A 15-year-old one keeps roughly 14% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.
