How much does the 2022 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 12.80% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,243 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Kia Sorento a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Kia Sorento earns a 4.67/5 user rating and an 8.67/10 expert rating. The model scores 10/10 across Look and feel and Cost effectiveness.

Owners consistently praise its modern design, spacious interior, and family-friendly features, and many also like its performance and fuel economy. The Sorento’s stylish cabin and strong warranty add to its appeal, especially if you want a three-row SUV that feels well equipped for daily use and road trips. The main trade-offs are the underwhelming base engine, the cramped third row, and the poor voice recognition system. For shoppers who want a midsize family SUV with a polished feel and broad powertrain choices, it fits the brief well. Good and great deals account for 37.9% of listings, so there are still attractive opportunities in the market.

Is the 2022 Kia Sorento reliable?

Owners rate it 4.67/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with praise for the Sorento’s long-term appeal, modern design, and family-friendly usefulness. The expert evaluation also emphasizes the SUV’s generous warranty and overall quality, which supports confidence in day-to-day ownership. Kia’s warranty coverage is a meaningful perk if you plan to keep the vehicle for years. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a neglected example could still show the effects of hard family use, so condition matters.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Kia Sorento?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the vehicle has been used as a family hauler. Pay close attention to interior wear, third-row condition, and whether the features you want are present on the specific trim you’re considering. If you’re shopping the lower trims, make sure the equipment level matches your expectations before you commit.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LX trim is the one that keeps the smaller 8-inch touchscreen, while other trims get the larger 10.25-inch display with navigation and connected services. The X-Line package adds a more rugged look and standard AWD, and the SX Prestige brings a more comfortable driver’s seat and heated second-row captain’s chairs.
• Powertrain: The standard 191-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder is the least satisfying option, while the turbocharged 2.5-liter is the stronger choice for everyday driving. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions are also part of the lineup if efficiency matters more to you.
• Safety package: Kia Drive Wise is standard, and the package includes features such as rear-seat reminder, Junction Assist, Highway Driving Assist, and Intelligent Speed Limit Assist. Feature content varies by trim, and Blind View Monitor is exclusive to the SX Prestige X-Line.
• Infotainment: Most trims get a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation, satellite radio, Kia Connect services, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. The base LX keeps the 8-inch system, and the larger screen requires a cable connection for smartphone integration.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbocharged X-Line test vehicle returned 20.5 mpg on the evaluation loop and 20.7 mpg over the week-long loan, while the hybrid is rated at 35 mpg to 37 mpg in combined driving and the plug-in hybrid returns 34 mpg in combined driving after 32 miles of electric-only range.

Which 2022 Kia Sorento trim should I buy?

The 2022 Kia Sorento is offered in 4 trim levels: LX, S, EX, SX Prestige.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the least expensive way into the Sorento, but it also keeps the smaller 8-inch infotainment system and the base 191-horsepower engine. It makes sense if you want the Sorento’s style and space at the lowest price, but it is the trim most likely to feel stripped down.
• S: This trim is the better starting point if you want a more complete everyday setup without jumping too far up the price ladder. It can also be paired with the X-Line package, which adds a more rugged appearance and standard AWD.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it unlocks the stronger turbocharged 2.5-liter engine and adds more convenience equipment. If you want the Sorento to feel genuinely satisfying to drive, this is the trim to target.
• SX Prestige: This is the most upscale choice, with the most comfort and tech content, including the more comfortable driver’s seat and heated second-row captain’s chairs. It is the right pick if you want the Sorento to feel as premium as possible.

Kia Drive Wise is standard across the lineup, but the exact contents vary by trim, and Blind View Monitor is reserved for the SX Prestige X-Line.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Kia Sorento?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but should move quickly on strong listings.

• Deal availability: 37.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,243 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.80% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 85.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $23,102, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Kia Sorento's resale value?

The current average of $23,102 sits slightly below last year's $26,494.

That price movement 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-kept example with desirable equipment, you may be better positioned when it’s time to sell. Strong demand for family-friendly SUVs and the Sorento’s broad appeal should help support buyer interest over time.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.67/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Kia Sorento safe?

The 2022 Sorento earns a Top Safety Pick rating from IIHS and a four-star overall crash-test rating from NHTSA, with four-star ratings for driver and front passenger protection in the frontal-impact test and for rollover resistance, plus five-star ratings in all other NHTSA tests.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Kia Drive Wise is standard on every trim, though the exact feature set varies. The system includes rear-seat reminder, Junction Assist, Highway Driving Assist, and Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, and the Blind View Monitor is exclusive to the SX Prestige X-Line. One caveat is that the headlights on most trims do not earn the highest IIHS rating; that distinction goes to the SX and SX Prestige trims with full LED headlights.

Should I buy a 2022 Kia Sorento or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 37.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.80% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.67/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 adds broader powertrain choice, including hybrid and plug-in hybrid options, plus expanded X-Line availability.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $20,118, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $23,102 average.
• It offers a newly redesigned, more maneuverable family crossover package.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of current-market value, updated equipment, and broader powertrain choice, the 2022 is the better target. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2021 is the smarter price-sensitive alternative, especially if you find one in strong condition.
