CarGurus Analysis: 2017 Kia Sorento
overall

Summary
With 52 currently listed for sale near Tucson, AZ and an average price of $9,995, 21.2% of 2017 Kia Sorentos for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2017 Kia Sorento 4.6 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 9.33 / 10.
71.2% of 2017 Sorento models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2017 Kia Sorento stands out as a midsize crossover SUV that makes a strong case for itself across styling and design, comfort and controls, safety and technology, value and practicality, and driving dynamics. It is presented as one of the best vehicles in its segment, which gives it broad appeal for shoppers who want an all-around capable family crossover rather than a one-note specialist.
It also carries an emphasis on durability and ownership confidence, since it is engineered to exceed the requirements of the most demanding warranty coverage in the business. Owner feedback generally reinforces its strengths, with praise for the smooth ride and stylish interior, along with comfort and power. At the same time, some owners point to a cramped third row that is not very accessible, and a few wished for a bigger screen or reported occasional engine issues, so its appeal is strongest for buyers who value comfort and overall balance more than maximum rear-seat space.

I love the car overall, great for my family and I. One thing I don’t like about it, on cold days I can’t start my car up and go back in the house! The doors won’t stay locked but other than that, no issues!

Have not received the car yet. It is yet to be delivered. But everything we have read and watched has been very positive about this car. Everyone keeps comparing the third row seats and less luggage storage to other larger vehicles. We keep saying, this is a cross over, not a minivan. If you want a third row with lots of extra luggage space, buy a minivan not a cross over. I am sure we will love the car!

Is the 2017 Kia Sorento a good car?
Yes — the 2017 Kia Sorento earns a 4.6/5 user rating and a 9.33/10 expert rating. The model scores 10/10 across Cost effectiveness, Technology, and Safety.
Owners consistently praise the smooth ride, stylish interior, comfort, and power, and many specifically like the V6 engine option. The Sorento also stands out as a well-rounded midsize crossover that balances styling, practicality, safety, and driving dynamics, which makes it appealing if you want an all-around family SUV rather than a niche specialist.
With 32.7% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still gives you room to shop selectively.
Is the 2017 Kia Sorento reliable?
Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
Owner feedback points to a vehicle that feels dependable in daily use, with repeated praise for comfort, smoothness, and overall satisfaction. The expert review also emphasizes durability and ownership confidence, noting that the Sorento is engineered to exceed demanding warranty expectations. Kia’s ownership coverage and the review’s mention of strong quality backing add to the sense that this is a vehicle built for long-term use.
For used buyers, the main ownership risk is less about the core vehicle concept and more about finding one that has been maintained well and avoided the occasional engine or third-row-related complaints.
What should I look for when buying a used 2017 Kia Sorento?
At 58.6% 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 thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with a prior claim. Pay close attention to the condition of the drivetrain, the third row, and the infotainment system, since those are the areas where owner feedback and the review text suggest the most variation. If you want the best ownership experience, focus on examples with clean records and evidence of regular maintenance.
Key things to evaluate:
- Trim level: The lineup ranges from L to SX Limited, and the base L misses out on several advanced safety features that are available on the other trims. The SX Limited adds the most upscale feel, including the 360-degree surround-view camera system.
- Powertrain: You can get a 185-horsepower 2.4-liter 4-cylinder, a 240-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder, or a 290-horsepower 3.3-liter V6. The V6 is the strongest choice, and it can tow up to 5,000 pounds.
- Safety package: Kia’s driver-assistance suite includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, and lane-departure warning. Those features are available on all trims except the basic L, and the LX V6 can add blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert.
- Infotainment: Kia’s UVO system is available for most versions, and it supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Siri, Pandora, Yelp, and connected services. The review also notes that the screen could be larger and more modern.
- Fuel efficiency: With AWD and the V6, the Sorento is expected to get 19 mpg in combined driving, and the review notes that the test vehicle averaged 19.4 mpg on its loop.
Which 2017 Kia Sorento trim should I buy?
The 2017 Kia Sorento is offered in 5 trim levels: L, LX, EX, SX, and SX Limited.
Here's the short version:
- L: This is the entry point, but it’s the least appealing choice if you want the Sorento’s strongest safety and convenience story, since the advanced driver-assistance features are not available here.
- LX: This is the trim to watch if you want a practical starting point with room to add the V6 and some extra safety equipment. It’s the best-value path for many shoppers because it keeps the Sorento’s core strengths without pushing you into luxury pricing.
- EX: This is the sweet spot if you want the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine as standard and the option to step up to the V6. It gives you a strong mix of performance and equipment without going all the way to the top trims.
- SX: This trim makes the V6 standard, so it’s the better pick if you want stronger performance without needing to add the engine separately.
- SX Limited: This is the most upscale version, with the richest cabin presentation and the 360-degree surround-view camera system. It’s the right choice if you want the most premium Sorento experience.
The safety package is available on all trims except the basic L, so most shoppers should aim above the base model.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 Kia Sorento?
This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on the right listing.
- Deal availability: 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,240 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.24% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 58.6% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $11,206, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2017 Kia Sorento's resale value?
The current average of $11,206 sits slightly below last year's $12,212.
That softer pricing suggests the Sorento is in a buyer-friendly phase right now, which can matter if you plan to sell later. A lower entry price today may help keep future depreciation manageable if the market stabilizes, but it also means you should be realistic about near-term resale upside. Well-kept examples with desirable equipment and clean history should hold up better than higher-mileage or accident-affected listings.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Is the 2017 Kia Sorento safe?
The 2017 Kia Sorento earns Top Safety Pick+ status from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and a five-star crash test rating from the federal government.
It earns a 10/10 safety score from our experts.
The Sorento’s safety suite includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, and lane-departure warning. Those systems are available on all trims except the basic L, while the LX V6 adds blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert and the SX Limited gets a 360-degree surround-view camera system.
Should I buy a 2017 Kia Sorento or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2017 if:
- 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 58.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.24% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
- The 2017 brings a broad mix of trims, strong safety tech, and a well-rounded family-SUV balance.
Consider the 2016 if:
- At $9,994, the 2016 costs less than the current year's $11,206 average.
- It feels more upscale and refined than before, with a new turbocharged engine option.
The bottom line: If you want the stronger all-around package, the 2017 is the better target because it combines broad appeal, strong safety, and a favorable price trend. If your priority is spending less upfront, the 2016 is the better value play, especially if you find one in good condition with the features you want.
