How much does the 2014 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 8.53% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 564 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2014 Kia Sorento a good car?

Yes — you’re looking at a 4.5/5 user-rated SUV with an expert score of 7.3/10. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its reliability, comfort, and features, and they also call out the smooth ride and spacious interior. For family use, the Sorento’s practical layout and good safety reputation make it appealing, especially if you want a well-rounded crossover with broad everyday usefulness. The market also shows 28.2% of listings as good or great deals, which supports the value case.

Is the 2014 Kia Sorento reliable?

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

User feedback points to reliability, good value, and a solid family-vehicle reputation, with many owners describing it as dependable and comfortable. The expert evaluation also emphasizes the Sorento’s substance and its ability to deliver a capable, well-rounded ownership experience. Kia’s long warranty coverage adds confidence for used buyers, though you should still watch for signs of wear in higher-mileage examples and verify that any reported control or third-row issues have been addressed.

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

At 62.2% 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 close inspection of body panels, alignment, and repair quality. Pay extra attention to comfort-related items, third-row usability, and any controls that may not operate as expected. If you’re shopping a higher-trim example, make sure the added equipment works properly and matches the listing description.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LX leaves out some desirable equipment found higher up the range, while the EX V6 adds features like dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, heated front seats, push-button ignition, and Kia’s UVO infotainment system. The SX adds 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, while the Limited adds HID headlights, premium leather, and heated second-row seats.
• Powertrain: The standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder makes 191 horsepower, and the available 3.3-liter V6 makes 290 horsepower and is the better choice if you want stronger passing power or 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 on all but LX trims, and blind-spot monitoring appears on higher trims.
• Infotainment: UVO eServices uses an 8-inch touchscreen and supports voice controls, Bluetooth-connected smartphone functions, destination uploads, and vehicle diagnostics.
• Fuel efficiency: The front-drive four-cylinder is rated at 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, while the front-drive V6 is rated at 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.

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 at the lowest price. It includes the four-cylinder engine, alloy wheels, Bluetooth, satellite radio, and a tilt-telescoping steering wheel, but it skips some of the convenience and safety upgrades found higher up.
• LX V6: This trim is for you if you want the stronger V6 without moving too far up the price ladder. It adds more power and towing ability while staying simpler than the better-equipped trims.
• EX V6: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it adds a strong mix of comfort and convenience features, including dual-zone climate control, leather, heated front seats, push-button ignition, and UVO.
• SX: Choose this if you want the most feature-rich mainstream trim, with the panoramic sunroof, navigation, upgraded audio, blind-spot monitoring, and heated or cooled front seats.
• SX-L, or Limited: This is the luxury-leaning choice, adding HID headlights, premium leather, a heated steering wheel, and heated second-row seats for buyers who want the most upscale Sorento experience.

A rear-view camera is standard on all but LX trims, so that’s an important safety-package difference to keep in mind.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully without assuming every listing is a bargain.

• Deal availability: 28.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 564 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.53% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 62.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $7,833, 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 $7,833 sits slightly below last year's $8,563.

That price movement suggests the Sorento has softened enough to help you buy more affordably today, but it also means future resale gains may be limited if the market keeps drifting downward. If you buy well and keep the vehicle in strong condition, you can help protect your exit value. Trim choice matters too, since better-equipped versions may be easier to market later if they’re clean and well maintained.

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 the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and an overall five-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

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 on all but LX trims, and blind-spot monitoring is available on higher trims. That means you should pay close attention to trim level if safety tech is a priority.

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:

• 28.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 62.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.53% 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 more power.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $8,364, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $7,833 average.
• It adds a more polished feel and a broader update, but also brings concerns around fuel economy and crash-test performance.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2014 is the smarter buy because it combines a lower average price with strong owner satisfaction and a healthy inventory pool. If you’re willing to spend more for a newer model-year update, the 2015 may appeal, but price-sensitive buyers should focus on the 2014’s stronger value proposition.

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 Santa Fe brings more power and a higher expert score, while the Sorento is the cheaper used buy with more listings to choose from. The Sorento also has the stronger accident-free share and a lower average used price, which makes it the more budget-friendly option if you’re willing to give up some performance.
