How much does the 2014 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 6.68% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 571 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2014 Kia Sorento a good car?

Yes — the 2014 Kia Sorento earns a 4.5/5 user rating and a 7.3/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Owners commonly praise its reliability, smooth ride, spacious interior, and good safety features. The Sorento also fits well if you want a well-rounded family vehicle with good value and practical everyday usability. In context, it’s aimed at shoppers who want style, substance, and family-friendly versatility without moving into a pricier segment. Listings show 30.1% good or great deals, which supports the case for value-focused shoppers.

Is the 2014 Kia Sorento reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to reliability, good value, and a solid family-vehicle reputation, while also mentioning some trouble spots such as third-row legroom and occasional control malfunctions. The expert evaluation also describes the Sorento as competitive on predicted reliability and backed by a long warranty, which reinforces its dependability story. Kia’s 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty adds another ownership advantage for buyers who plan to keep the vehicle for a while. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that age and prior use can magnify wear items, so condition matters more than the badge.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Kia Sorento?

At 59.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should run a vehicle history report before you get too far into the process, then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection if the listing has any accident or repair history. Pay close attention to how the interior, electronics, and third-row area have held up, since owner feedback points to some control issues and limited third-row legroom. A careful test drive should also confirm that the drivetrain, steering, and brakes feel consistent and free of warning lights.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LX is the most stripped-down version, while higher trims add features such as dual-zone climate control, leather upholstery, UVO infotainment, a panoramic sunroof, navigation, blind-spot monitoring, and heated or cooled front seats. If you want the best value, the EX V6 stands out as the trim that adds a strong mix of comfort and convenience without jumping all the way to the top.
• Powertrain: The standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder makes 191 horsepower, while the available 3.3-liter V6 makes 290 horsepower and adds stronger towing ability. The V6 is the better pick if you want more passing power or plan to tow.
• Safety package: All Sorentos include 6 airbags, front active headrests, 4-wheel antilock disc brakes, and electronic stability control. A rear-view camera is standard in all but LX trims, so base-trim shoppers should verify whether that feature is included.
• Infotainment: Higher trims offer Kia’s UVO system with an 8-inch touchscreen, voice controls, smartphone-linked navigation features, and music management from multiple sources. The interface is designed to be easy to use once configured.
• Fuel efficiency: The front-drive four-cylinder is rated at 20 mpg city/26 mpg highway/22 mpg combined, while the front-drive V6 is rated at 18 mpg city/25 mpg highway/21 mpg combined. The V6 can still be a reasonable choice if you value power more than maximum efficiency.

Which 2014 Kia Sorento trim should I buy?

The 2014 Kia Sorento is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, LX V6, EX V6, SX, SX-L, or Limited.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, and it gives you the basics: the four-cylinder engine, 17-inch alloy wheels, heated mirrors with integrated LED turn signals, satellite radio, Bluetooth, and a tilt-telescoping steering wheel with audio controls. It makes sense if you want the lowest price, but it leaves out several convenience and safety upgrades.
• LX V6: This trim is the simplest way to get the stronger V6 powertrain without moving into the more feature-rich upper trims. It’s the right choice if performance matters more to you than extra luxury equipment.
• EX V6: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds a more upscale mix of features, including 18-inch alloys, automatic headlights, fog lights, dual-zone climate control, UVO infotainment, leather upholstery, heated front seats, and push-button ignition. It’s the sweet spot if you want comfort and tech without paying for the top trims.
• SX: This trim adds 19-inch alloy wheels, a color-keyed lower body kit, a unique grille, a panoramic sunroof, navigation with an 8-inch screen, a 10-speaker Infinity audio system, blind-spot monitoring, a power liftgate, and heated or cooled front seats. Choose it if you want the most equipment and a more premium feel.
• SX-L, or Limited: This top trim adds HID headlights, a leather-and-wood-trimmed heated steering wheel, premium leather seats, and heated second-row seats. It’s the pick if you want the most upscale cabin treatment.

The safety package is strong across the lineup, but the rear-view camera is not standard on LX trims.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Kia Sorento?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 30.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 571 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.68% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 59.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $7,877, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Kia Sorento's resale value?

The current average of $7,993 sits slightly below last year's $8,565.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at a strong price and keep the vehicle in good condition, you can reduce the impact of further depreciation. The Sorento’s broad appeal as a family crossover should help support demand, but resale will still depend heavily on mileage, condition, and accident history.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2014 Kia Sorento safe?

The 2014 Kia Sorento earns a Top Safety Pick award from IIHS and an overall five-star rating from NHTSA.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Kia equips all Sorentos with 6 airbags, front active headrests, 4-wheel antilock disc brakes, and electronic stability control. A rear-view camera is standard in all but LX trims, so base-trim shoppers should confirm whether they’re getting that feature. The safety package is a clear strength, and the IIHS recognition supports that impression.

Should I buy a 2014 Kia Sorento or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 30.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 59.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.68% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2014 brings updated styling, a stronger standard four-cylinder, and an available V6 with improved power.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $8,490, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $7,993 average.
• It adds a more polished overall presentation and a broader sense of equipment.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2014 is the stronger buy because prices have eased and inventory is healthy. If you’re willing to spend more for a newer model year, the 2015 is worth a look, but the 2014 remains the more price-friendly path for most shoppers.

How does the 2014 Kia Sorento compare to the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe?

Our experts score the 2014 Kia Sorento 7.3/10 and the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe 8.2/10.

The Sorento is the cheaper used buy, with a lower average price and more listings to choose from. The Santa Fe brings more power and a stronger expert score, but it also costs more on the used market and has a smaller pool of listings. If you want the better value and broader shopping selection, the Sorento makes sense; if you want the stronger overall package and can spend more, the Santa Fe has the edge.
