How much does the 2019 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 9.48% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,619 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2019 Kia Sorento a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Kia Sorento earns a 4.62/5 user rating and an 8.5/10 expert rating. The model scores 10/10 across Technology and Safety.

Drivers consistently praise its comfortable ride, spacious interior, and strong value, and they also like the third-row seating and smooth road manners. That lines up with the Sorento’s family-friendly mission in the overview, where it’s positioned as a roomy, comfort-focused SUV with a premium feel and strong confidence on the road.

With 32.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still offers some attractive opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2019 Kia Sorento reliable?

Owners rate it 4.62/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback points to a comfortable ride, strong value, and a smooth-feeling driving experience, all of which are encouraging signs for everyday dependability. The expert review also emphasizes the Sorento’s class-leading warranty and roadside assistance coverage, which adds peace of mind for ownership.

The main used-buyer risk is that some listings may have been driven hard or may show wear in higher-mileage family use, so condition and maintenance history matter.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Kia Sorento?

At 62.1% 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-trim or higher-mileage example. Pay close attention to body condition, interior wear, and whether the equipment on the listing matches the trim level you’re expecting.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup starts with the L and moves up through LX, EX, SX, and SX Limited. The base L is the most stripped-down version, while the EX adds many of the important safety technologies and the SX Limited brings the most upscale cabin materials and features.
• Powertrain: The Sorento uses a standard 185-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder in L and LX trims, while the 290-horsepower 3.3-liter V6 is optional on LX and standard on EX, SX, and SX Limited. The V6 is the stronger choice if you want smoother acceleration and a more confident feel with passengers aboard.
• Safety package: Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are standard on all versions except the base L. The EX adds adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and driver-attention monitoring.
• Infotainment: The L and LX use a 7-inch touchscreen with a reversing camera, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. EX trims add UVO eServices, while SX and SX Limited get an 8-inch touchscreen, SiriusXM traffic data, HD Radio, and a wireless charging tray.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 test vehicle returned 20.7 mpg during testing, and the official combined rating is 21 mpg.

Which 2019 Kia Sorento trim should I buy?

The 2019 Kia Sorento is offered in 5 trim levels: L, LX, EX, SX, SX Limited.

Here's the short version:

• L: This is the entry point, but it’s the most basic version and misses some of the safety and convenience equipment that makes the Sorento easier to recommend. It makes sense only if your budget is tight and you’re comfortable with a simpler setup.
• LX: This is the trim to focus on if you want the Sorento’s core strengths without jumping too far up the price ladder. It can be paired with the V6, which is a major plus, and it gives you a better balance of value and capability than the base model.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds the important safety technology, the stronger standard V6, and a more polished feature set. If you want the Sorento to feel properly equipped for family duty, this is the sweet spot.
• SX: This trim adds more upscale equipment and can be paired with the surround-view camera system, making it a good fit if you want a more premium feel and easier maneuvering in tight spaces.
• SX Limited: This is the most luxurious version, with the richest materials and the most complete equipment list. It’s the right choice if you want the Sorento at its most upscale and don’t mind paying for it.

The EX gets the most complete safety package, while the base L misses blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Kia Sorento?

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

• Deal availability: 32.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,619 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.48% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 62.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $13,764, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Kia Sorento's resale value?

The current average of $13,764 sits slightly below last year's $15,206.

That softer pricing suggests the Sorento has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right number today. A lower entry price can reduce the amount of value left to lose over the next ownership cycle.

The strongest resale prospects will usually come from well-kept examples with desirable equipment, especially those that present cleanly and have a strong service history. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.62/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Kia Sorento safe?

The 2019 Kia Sorento gets top marks from both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

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

Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are standard on all versions except the base L. The EX adds adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and driver-attention monitoring. Those features make the EX and higher trims the best picks if safety equipment is a priority.

Should I buy a 2019 Kia Sorento or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 32.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 62.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.48% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.62/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 update brings revised styling, a new 8-speed automatic with the V6, and expanded safety tech on higher trims.

The bottom line: The 2019 is the right choice if you want the updated Sorento with strong safety, a comfortable ride, and a good mix of value and equipment. If you’re mainly chasing the lowest possible price, a nearby year may be worth comparing, but the 2019 stands out as the more polished and better-equipped option.
