2018 Kia Sorento

With impressive space for passengers and cargo, two Kia models easily secured spots on the U.S. News & World Report’s list of the Best 6-Passenger Vehicles for 2018. The Kia Sorento, which was also named the 2018 Best 3-Row SUV for the Money by the publication, earned higher points than the Kia Sedona even though to fit six in the Sorento, you’ll need to pay more for a higher trim level.

According to U.S. News & World Report writer Steven Loveday, the Sorento earned rave reviews due to its incredible safety scores, stylish interior, and expected longevity and reliability.

“Standard features include Bluetooth®, a USB port, and a rearview camera, but we suggest stepping up to Kia’s user-friendly 7- or 8-inch display with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™,” he said.

The 2018 Kia Sorento is available at seven trim levels: L, LX, LX V6, EX 2.0T, EX V6, SX, and SX Limited.

2018 Kia Sedona

The Kia Sedona impressed the editors withits high-end quality at an affordable asking price, noting that the Sedona achieved higher safety scores and delivered a more comfortable ride than the Dodge Grand Caravan, which secured a spot several notches below the Sedona. The editors also appreciated the Sedona’s impressive warranty and powerful V6 engine. The 3.3-liter V6 engine is paired to an electronically controlled six-speed automotive overdrive transmission with Sportmatic® to generate 276 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque.

“The Sedona also has an above-average predicted reliability rating, and it features versatile Slide-N-Stow second-row seats. You can also choose optional second-row lounge seats, which are some of the nicest in the class,” said Loveday.

The 2018 Kia Sedona is available at five trim levels: L, LX, EX, SX, and SX Limited.
