How much does the 2014 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 8.80% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 579 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable range of choices.

Is the 2014 Kia Sorento a good car?

Yes — the 2014 Kia Sorento earns a 4.55/5 user rating and a 7.33/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its reliability, comfort, and features, and they also highlight the smooth ride and spacious interior. In use-case terms, that makes it a strong fit if you want a family-friendly crossover with good value and everyday practicality.

The market also looks reasonably supportive, with 26.9% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2014 Kia Sorento reliable?

Owners rate it 4.55/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to reliability, and the broader review summary also describes the Sorento as a solid family vehicle with good value. The expert evaluation adds that Kia’s long warranty and strong predicted reliability rankings help the Sorento stand out among family crossovers.

The powertrain and ownership package also support confidence, with a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and a 5-year basic warranty. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure prior wear, maintenance history, and any control issues have been checked carefully.

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

At 61.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with multiple owners. Focus on body condition, interior wear, and whether the controls and third-row area show signs of heavy use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX starts with the 4-cylinder engine, 17-inch alloy wheels, heated mirrors with integrated LED turn signals, satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity, and a tilt-telescoping steering wheel with integrated audio controls. The EX V6 adds 18-inch alloys, automatic headlights, fog lights, dual-zone automatic climate control, UVO infotainment, leather upholstery, heated front seats, and push-button ignition, while the SX and Limited add more upscale equipment.
• Powertrain: You get a 4-cylinder engine or an available 3.3-liter V6, both paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 4-cylinder is rated at 20 mpg city/26 highway/22 combined in front-drive form, while the V6 is the stronger choice if you want more passing power and towing ability.
• 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, and the available blind-spot monitoring system is part of the higher-spec equipment.
• Infotainment: UVO eServices uses an 8-inch touchscreen and supports voice controls, vehicle location, emergency assistance, diagnostics, destination upload from a Bluetooth-enabled iPhone or Android device, and music management from multiple sources.
• Fuel efficiency: The front-drive 4-cylinder LX is rated at 20 mpg city, 26 highway, and 22 combined. The front-drive V6 is rated at 18/25/21 mpg, and the all-wheel-drive SX test vehicle returned 24.2 mpg on a long highway run.

Which 2014 Kia Sorento trim should I buy?

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

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core Sorento experience with the 4-cylinder engine, Bluetooth, satellite radio, and the basic safety and convenience equipment. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost path into the model, but it leaves out several comfort and tech upgrades.
• LX V6: This trim is the better pick if you want more power without jumping all the way to the upper trims. It adds the V6 while staying closer to the lower end of the lineup, which makes it the value-oriented choice for buyers who care about performance and towing more than luxury features.
• EX V6: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it layers in a lot of everyday comfort and convenience gear, including leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, push-button ignition, and UVO infotainment. It feels like the sweet spot if you want a well-equipped Sorento without paying for the top trims.
• SX: This trim adds a more upscale and feature-rich setup, including 19-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, navigation with an 8-inch screen, a 10-speaker Infinity audio upgrade, blind-spot monitoring, a power liftgate, and heated or cooled front seats. Choose it if you want the most complete mix of tech and comfort before stepping into luxury territory.
• SX-L, or Limited: This is the top-end choice, adding HID headlights, a leather-and-wood-trimmed heated steering wheel, premium leather seats, and heated second-row seats. It suits you best if you want the most upscale Sorento experience.

A rear-view camera is standard in all but LX trims, so that trim-level safety gap is worth keeping in mind.

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 patiently but still move quickly on the right listing.

• Deal availability: 26.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 579 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.80% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 61.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $7,881, 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 $8,043 sits slightly below last year's $8,819.

That decline suggests the Sorento has already absorbed some of its near-term depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price. If you purchase near the lower end of the range and keep the vehicle in good condition, you may have a better chance of limiting your loss later. Strong demand for well-kept family crossovers can also help support resale, especially when the vehicle has a good reputation with owners.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.55/5, 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 the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and an overall five-star rating from NHTSA.

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

All Sorentos come 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, and the available blind-spot monitoring system adds another layer of awareness on higher trims.

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:

• 26.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 61.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.80% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.55/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2014 brings a strategically updated design, stronger standard 4-cylinder power, and available V6 muscle.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $8,451, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $8,043 average.
• It adds a more attractive, well-equipped package with a stronger emphasis on lasting build quality and fair pricing.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2014 is the smarter starting point because prices have eased and inventory is available. If you’re willing to pay more for the next model year’s updated appeal, the 2015 is the secondary path to consider.
