How much does the 2014 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 8.61% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 567 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable amount of inventory to compare.

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. That lines up with the Sorento’s family-vehicle use case: you get a practical crossover with broad appeal, useful features, and enough efficiency to make it attractive for everyday driving. The market also shows 30.5% of listings as good or great deals, which adds to 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 to live with. The expert drive notes also emphasize a strong warranty and competitive predicted reliability, which supports the case for long-term ownership confidence.

If you’re shopping used, the main risk is that some examples may have seen harder family-duty use, so condition and maintenance history matter a lot.

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

At 61.9% 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 on higher-mileage or heavily optioned examples. Focus on signs of prior body repair, interior wear, and any electrical or control issues mentioned by owners. If you want the best odds of a trouble-free purchase, compare service records carefully and pay close attention to how the vehicle drives, shifts, and brakes.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LX is missing some equipment found higher up the range, while the EX V6 adds desirable comfort and convenience features such as dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, heated front seats, push-button ignition, and Kia’s UVO infotainment system. The SX adds a panoramic sunroof, navigation, a larger audio upgrade, blind-spot monitoring, a power liftgate, and heated or cooled front seats, while the Limited adds premium leather, HID headlights, and heated second-row seats.
• Powertrain: The standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder makes 191 horsepower, while the available 3.3-liter V6 delivers 290 horsepower and stronger towing ability. The V6 is the better fit if you want more passing power or plan to tow, while the four-cylinder is the more efficiency-minded choice.
• 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: Kia’s UVO eServices system uses an 8-inch touchscreen and supports smartphone-linked navigation, voice controls, destination uploads, emergency assistance, 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. The test drive also 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 value entry point, but you give up some convenience and safety equipment that shows up higher in the lineup. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Sorento and can live without the richer feature set.
• LX V6: This is the better pick if you want the stronger V6 without moving too far upmarket. It gives you more power and towing ability while staying below the more feature-heavy trims.
• EX V6: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a strong mix of comfort and convenience features, including leather, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and UVO. It’s the sweet spot if you want a well-equipped Sorento without stretching to the top trims.
• SX: This trim is for you if you want the most noticeable upgrade in tech and convenience, including navigation, blind-spot monitoring, a power liftgate, a panoramic sunroof, and heated or cooled front seats.
• SX-L, or Limited: This is the luxury-leaning choice, with premium leather, HID headlights, a heated steering wheel, and heated second-row seats. It makes the most sense if you want the most upscale Sorento experience.

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

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory and deal activity to make comparison shopping worthwhile.

• Deal availability: 30.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 567 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.61% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 61.9% 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 $7,890 sits slightly below last year's $8,633.

That tells you the Sorento has softened in the used market, which can be good news if you’re buying now but less favorable if you’re planning to sell soon. A lower current price can help attract shoppers, but it also means future resale gains may be limited unless the vehicle is especially clean, well maintained, and well equipped.

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.

All Sorentos come 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, so lower trims miss out on that added visibility aid.

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:

• 30.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 61.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.61% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2014 update brings revised styling, a stronger standard four-cylinder, and an available V6 with more power.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $8,337, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $7,890 average.
• It adds a more polished feel and a broader sense of refinement.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2014 is the smarter buy because pricing has softened and deal availability is solid. If you’re willing to spend more for a newer model-year experience, the 2015 is the alternative to compare, but the 2014 already delivers a strong mix of value, safety, and everyday usefulness.

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 is the stronger overall pick on expert scoring, but the Sorento is the cheaper used buy and has more listings to shop. The Sorento also offers a better deal share and a higher accident-free share in the market data shown here. If you want the lower entry price and broader inventory, the Sorento is appealing; if you want the higher-rated vehicle and can spend more, the Santa Fe has the edge.
