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

At 63.5% 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-mileage example or one with a lower asking price. Focus on condition, maintenance records, and whether the equipment level matches what you want, since some versions are much better equipped than others. It’s also smart to verify that the safety and infotainment features you expect are actually present on the trim you’re shopping.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The L starts the lineup with the basics, while the LX adds more equipment and the EX brings a more upscale feel with leather seats and most of the safety technologies. The SX Limited sits at the top with premium materials, and the base trim leaves out important driver-assistance features that appear on higher versions.
• Powertrain: You get a standard 185-horsepower 2.4-liter 4-cylinder on L and LX trims, while the available 290-horsepower 3.3-liter V6 is optional on the LX and standard on the EX, SX, and SX Limited. The V6 is the stronger choice if you want smoother, quicker acceleration.
• Safety package: Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are included 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, and UVO eServices safety features, while lane-keeping assist and driver-attention monitoring are standard on EX, SX, and SX Limited.
• Infotainment: The L and LX use a 7-inch touchscreen with a reversing camera, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. EX adds UVO eServices, and the higher systems bring an 8-inch touchscreen, SiriusXM traffic data, HD Radio, wireless charging on SX and SX Limited, and a 360-degree surround-view camera on SX Limited.
• Fuel efficiency: The expert review notes 20.7 mpg during testing and an official 21 mpg combined rating for the V6-equipped test vehicle.

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 stripped-down version and leaves out important safety content that you’ll find on higher trims. It makes sense only if your budget is tight and you’re comfortable keeping expectations modest.
• LX: This is the trim that gives you a better starting point without jumping too far up the price ladder. It’s the better value if you want a more usable Sorento without paying for the upper-trim luxury and tech extras.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds the V6, leather seats, and most of the safety technologies. It also unlocks UVO eServices, making it the sweet spot for everyday comfort and equipment.
• SX: This trim builds on the EX with more premium equipment and access to the larger infotainment setup and available surround-view camera. It suits you if you want a more upscale Sorento and are willing to pay for it.
• SX Limited: This is the most luxurious version, with premium materials, the top audio setup, and standard surround-view camera coverage. It’s the right pick if you want the most fully loaded Sorento and don’t mind paying near-new-SUV money for it.

Safety-package note: all versions except the base L include blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, and the EX and higher trims add the most important driver-assistance features.

What is the 2019 Kia Sorento's resale value?

The current average of $13,991 sits slightly below last year's $15,485.

That price movement suggests the Sorento has become more accessible for used buyers, but it also means a future seller may need to price competitively to stand out. If you buy well now, you may have a better chance of limiting depreciation pressure later. Strong equipment, clean history, and desirable trims should help support demand when it’s time to resell.

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?

It 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.

The Sorento’s safety package includes blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert 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, and UVO eServices safety features. Lane-keeping assist and driver-attention monitoring are standard on EX, SX, and SX Limited trims.

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:

• 26.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 63.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.65% compared with last year.

• The expert review highlights a stylish, even luxurious midsize SUV with a class-leading warranty and roadside assistance program, plus top crash-test ratings.

The bottom line: The 2019 Sorento is the better pick if you want a well-equipped, family-friendly SUV with strong safety credentials and a softer used-market price than it had a year ago. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you can shop aggressively for a clean, well-maintained example and focus on the EX or a similarly well-equipped trim for the best balance of value and features.
