How much does the 2019 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 8.29% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,731 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of used Sorento options to compare.

Is the 2019 Kia Sorento a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Kia Sorento earns a 4.6/5 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 and smooth road manners also come up often, which fits a family-focused SUV that aims to balance comfort with everyday practicality.

The Sorento’s overview also points to a stylish, even luxurious feel, plenty of room for a family of four, and a class-leading warranty and roadside assistance program. With 33.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2019 Kia Sorento reliable?

Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Drivers describe it as comfortable, spacious, and a strong value, and those are the kinds of traits that usually support confidence in daily ownership. The review summary also points to a smooth-feeling SUV that many owners enjoy living with over time.

The expert review reinforces that impression by highlighting a class-leading warranty and roadside assistance coverage, plus a robust feel on the road. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure you choose a well-maintained example with the right equipment and engine combination for your needs.

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

At 61.5% 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 lot of equipment. Pay close attention to condition, maintenance records, and whether the features you want are actually present on the trim you’re looking at.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Sorento lineup starts with the L and adds LX, EX, SX, and SX Limited. The base L is the most stripped-down version, while the EX adds nicer wheels, leather seats, and most of the safety technologies. Higher trims bring more upscale materials and features, but the loaded versions can get expensive quickly.
• Powertrain: The standard engine is a 185-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder, while a 290-horsepower 3.3-liter V6 is available and becomes standard on the EX, SX, and SX Limited. The V6 is the stronger choice if you want smoother acceleration and more confident passing power.
• 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. Those features are standard on the EX, SX, and SX Limited, so the base trim misses out on a meaningful chunk of the safety tech.
• Infotainment: The standard system uses a 7-inch touchscreen with a reversing camera, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Higher trims add UVO eServices, and the top system brings an 8-inch touchscreen, SiriusXM traffic data, HD Radio, and a wireless charging tray on SX and SX Limited.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 test vehicle returned 20.7 mpg, and the review notes an official 21 mpg in combined driving.

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 basic choice and misses out on several of the Sorento’s more appealing safety and convenience features. It makes sense only if your budget is tight and you’re comfortable with a simpler setup.
• LX: This trim adds more flexibility and can be paired with the available V6, which makes it a better everyday choice than the base model. It’s the trim to consider if you want a more usable Sorento without jumping too far up the price ladder.
• EX: This is the best-value trim. It adds leather seats, most of the safety technologies, and the stronger V6 is standard here, so you get a much more complete package without going all the way to the top.
• SX: This trim leans into more premium equipment and can add the surround-view camera system as an option. It’s a good fit if you want more convenience and a more upscale feel.
• SX Limited: This is the most luxurious version, with the richest materials, standard surround-view camera system, and the most complete equipment list. It’s the right pick if you want the Sorento at its most fully loaded.

The safety package is strongest on the EX, SX, and SX Limited, while the base L leaves out several important driver-assistance features.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 33.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,731 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.29% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 61.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $13,613, 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 $13,613 sits slightly below last year's $14,843.

That softer pricing suggests the Sorento has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future resale stability if you buy at the right price. If you choose a well-equipped trim with strong demand and keep it in good condition, you’ll be in a better position when it’s time to sell.

The market also shows steady shopper interest, which matters when you eventually list the vehicle. 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 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.

All versions except the base L include blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. 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 the EX, SX, and SX Limited, so the base trim leaves out a meaningful portion of the 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:

• 33.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 61.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.29% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 model stands out for its updated styling, strong safety content, and a class-leading warranty and roadside assistance program.

The bottom line: If you want a well-rounded Sorento with strong safety, good owner satisfaction, and a softer used-car price, the 2019 is the smart target. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you can still shop carefully and focus on the best-maintained examples, but the 2019 already gives you a compelling mix of value and equipment.

How does the 2019 Kia Sorento compare to the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe?

Our experts score the 2019 Kia Sorento 8.5/10 and the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe 8.2/10.

The Sorento edges ahead on expert score, while the Santa Fe has a slightly higher share of good and great deals and a cleaner accident-free rate. Both SUVs use the same engine output and similar fuel economy figures in this comparison, so your decision may come down to price, condition, and which one has the equipment you want.
