How much does the 2014 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 8.78% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 587 listings available, which gives you a meaningful pool to compare prices and equipment.

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 practical terms, that makes it a strong fit if you want a family-friendly crossover with good value and useful safety equipment.

The model’s updated, refined packaging also helps it work well for shoppers who want a familiar crossover with meaningful improvements rather than a full redesign. 28.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which suggests there are still worthwhile opportunities in the market.

Is the 2014 Kia Sorento reliable?

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

The owner feedback points to reliability, and it also describes the Sorento as a solid family vehicle with good value. The expert evaluation reinforces that impression by noting competitive predicted reliability rankings and a strong warranty package.

That said, used buyers should still watch for wear items and any signs that prior owners did not maintain the vehicle carefully, especially on higher-mileage examples.

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

At 60.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any reported damage was repaired properly. Then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection so you can check for signs of poor repairs, uneven wear, or neglected maintenance. Pay close attention to interior condition and controls, since owner feedback mentions some control issues and third-row legroom can be a concern.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LX is the most stripped-down version, 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 and trim, triple-setting heated front seats, and push-button ignition. The SX 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 upgrade, blind-spot monitoring, a power liftgate, and heated or cooled front seats. The SX-L, or Limited, adds HID headlights, a leather-and-wood-trimmed heated steering wheel, premium leather seats, and heated second-row seats.
• Powertrain: The standard engine is a 191-horsepower, 2.4-liter GDI 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic. A 3.3-liter GDI V6 is available with 290 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque, and it brings stronger passing power and towing capability.
• 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.
• 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 using Google Maps, and music management from multiple sources.
• Fuel efficiency: The front-drive 2.4-liter model 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 V6 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 4 trim levels: LX, LX V6, EX V6, SX, SX-L, or Limited.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, so it makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Sorento lineup and can live without the richer convenience and safety features found higher up.
• LX V6: This is the better pick if you want the stronger V6 without jumping all the way to the more expensive trims.
• EX V6: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds leather, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, push-button ignition, and UVO infotainment without moving into the pricier luxury-oriented versions.
• SX: Choose this if you want the most feature-rich mainstream trim, including the panoramic sunroof, navigation, blind-spot monitoring, power liftgate, and heated or cooled front seats.
• SX-L, or Limited: This is the top-end choice if you want the most upscale cabin treatment, including premium leather, HID headlights, and a heated second-row seat.

A rear-view camera is standard in all but LX trims, so that safety convenience gap is worth keeping in mind as you shop.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on the right listing.

• Deal availability: 28.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 587 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.78% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 60.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $7,880, 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 $8,063 sits slightly below last year's $8,839.

That softer pricing 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 that depreciation. Well-equipped examples with clean history and strong maintenance records should hold appeal better than rougher, higher-mileage listings.

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 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

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, so lower trims miss out on that added visibility feature.

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:

• 28.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 60.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.78% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.55/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2014 brings updated styling, a stronger standard 4-cylinder, and an available V6 with solid towing capability.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $8,250, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $8,063 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 buy because prices are softer and the listing pool is sizable. If you can spend a bit more and want to compare against a newer model year, the 2015 is worth a look for shoppers who prioritize a fresher package over the lower asking price.
