How much does the 2019 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 9.91% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,667 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping.

If you find a listing below $13,908.90, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

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 the comfortable ride, spacious interior, and strong value. The third-row seating also comes up as a practical plus, and the SUV’s smooth road manners reinforce its family-friendly appeal.

That lines up with the Sorento’s overview as a stylish, well-rounded midsize SUV with room for a family of four and a strong warranty story. With 30.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you also have a decent chance of finding one at an attractive price.

Is the 2019 Kia Sorento reliable?

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

The owner feedback points to a comfortable, dependable daily driver that feels like a strong value over time. Drivers also highlight the smooth ride and roomy cabin, which are the kinds of traits that usually support trouble-free ownership when the vehicle has been maintained well.

The expert evaluation also emphasizes the Sorento’s robust feel on the road and its class-leading warranty and roadside assistance coverage, both of which help reduce ownership anxiety. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure the specific vehicle you choose has been cared for properly, especially if you plan to keep it for many years.

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

At 63.6% 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 pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with a lower asking price. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and whether the cabin and mechanicals match the seller’s description.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The L trim is the most basic version, while the EX adds most of the safety technologies and a more upscale feel. The Sorento EX is described as the most popular version, and it brings a V6 engine, nicer wheels, leather seats, and more of the safety tech that many shoppers will want.
• Powertrain: You get a standard 185-horsepower, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder in the L and LX, 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 capability, 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 Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. EX trim adds UVO eServices, while SX and SX Limited get an 8-inch touchscreen with navigation, SiriusXM traffic data, HD Radio, and a wireless charging tray.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 test vehicle returned 20.7 mpg, 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, and SX Limited.

Here's the short version:

• L: This is the entry point, but it’s the most stripped-down version and misses out on the broader safety and convenience content that makes the Sorento easier to recommend. It makes sense only if your budget is tight and you’re comfortable with the basics.
• LX: This is the better starting point if you want a more usable Sorento without jumping too far up the price ladder. It can be paired with the V6, which is a major plus if you want stronger performance without moving into the upper trims.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers. It adds the V6 as standard, leather seats, most of the safety technologies, and UVO eServices, making it the sweet spot for comfort, safety, and everyday usefulness.
• SX: This trim is for you if you want a more premium feel and more tech. It adds the top infotainment setup, and the available 360-degree surround-view camera is a useful upgrade for tight parking and maneuvering.
• SX Limited: This is the most fully equipped version, with the 360-degree surround-view camera standard, the premium audio system, and the most upscale cabin presentation. It’s the right pick if you want the most features and don’t mind paying for them.

The EX is the trim most buyers should start with, while the SX Limited makes sense if you want the most luxury and convenience features. Safety tech is strongest on EX, SX, and SX Limited, while the base L misses some of the key driver-assistance equipment.

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

This is a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without expecting a deep buyer’s market.

• Deal availability: 30.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,667 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.91% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 63.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $13,908.90, 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 $13,980 sits slightly below last year's $15,517.

That decline suggests the Sorento has become more affordable for used buyers, but it also means a future seller may face a softer pricing environment than owners saw a year ago. If you buy now, you’re entering at a lower price point, which can help cushion depreciation if the market stays steady.

The good news for resale is that the Sorento has strong owner satisfaction and a reputation for value, both of which help keep demand healthy. Well-equipped trims with the V6 and desirable safety features should be easier to move later than a bare-bones example.

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 earns top marks from both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

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

The Sorento’s safety suite 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, lane-keeping assist, and driver-attention monitoring. Those features are standard on EX, SX, and SX Limited, which leaves the base L with a more limited safety package.

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:

• 30.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 63.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.91% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.62/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 model benefits from updated styling, a new eight-speed automatic with the V6, and strong safety credentials.

The bottom line: The 2019 Sorento is the better pick if you want a well-equipped, value-oriented midsize SUV with strong safety and a broad feature set. If you’re especially price-sensitive, a nearby model year may be worth comparing, but the 2019 stands out for its balance of comfort, tech, and family usefulness.
