How much does the 2022 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 11.56% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,386 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

If you find a listing below $24,086.23, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2022 Kia Sorento a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Kia Sorento earns a 4.64/5 user rating, and our experts give it 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 flexibility, and many also like its performance and fuel economy. The Sorento’s stylish cabin and strong warranty help it feel like a smart long-term buy for shoppers who want a three-row SUV with a more upscale vibe.

The trade-offs are clear: the base engine is underwhelming, the third row is cramped, and the voice recognition system is poor. That means you’ll be happiest if you value style, available efficiency, and everyday versatility more than maximum passenger room or entry-level punch.

With 30.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still offers some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Kia Sorento reliable?

Owners rate it 4.64/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a vehicle that feels dependable in daily use, with praise for its modern design, family-friendly features, and overall satisfaction over time. Reviewers also highlight the Sorento’s strong warranty, which adds confidence for long-term ownership.

Our experts also describe the Sorento’s cabin as solidly built and note that Kia’s generous warranty helps support the ownership experience. The model’s quality and modern safety tech reinforce the sense that it is built to be counted on.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a neglected example could magnify the base engine’s limitations and the cabin’s space compromises.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because accident-free status does not replace a full ownership record. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on the drivetrain, electronics, and interior condition, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example. Pay close attention to how the cabin wears, how the infotainment and driver-assistance features operate, and whether the vehicle feels as solid as it should.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LX trim is the most stripped-down version, with the smaller 8-inch touchscreen and fewer amenities than the higher trims. The SX Prestige stands out for its more comfortable driver’s seat, heated second-row captain’s chairs, and available Blind View Monitor, while the X-Line package adds a more rugged look and standard AWD on equipped models.
• Powertrain: The standard 191-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder is the weakest choice and is best avoided if you want stronger acceleration. The turbocharged 2.5-liter is the more satisfying gas engine, and the lineup also includes hybrid and plug-in hybrid options for buyers who want better efficiency.
• Safety package: Kia Drive Wise is standard, and the package includes features such as rear-seat reminder, Junction Assist, Highway Driving Assist, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, adaptive cruise control, and Lane Following Assist. The Blind View Monitor is exclusive to SX Prestige X-Line, so lower trims miss out on that camera-based blind-spot aid.
• Infotainment: The base LX uses an 8-inch touchscreen, while other trims get a 10.25-inch display with navigation, satellite radio, Kia Connect services, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. The larger system requires a cable connection, and wireless smartphone integration is reserved for the base setup.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbocharged gas model is rated at 24 mpg in combined driving, though real-world testing came in lower. The hybrid is estimated at 35 mpg to 37 mpg in combined driving, and the plug-in hybrid can travel 32 miles on electricity before returning 34 mpg in combined driving.

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 brings the most compromises, including the smaller 8-inch infotainment system and the underwhelming base engine. It makes sense only if your priority is the lowest entry price.
• S: This trim is the better starting point if you want the Sorento’s core family-SUV appeal without stretching too far. It keeps the standard safety tech and can be a smarter value than the LX because it avoids the most basic-feeling setup.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it unlocks the more satisfying turbocharged engine and adds meaningful equipment upgrades. If you want the Sorento to feel genuinely strong and well equipped, this is the trim to target.
• SX Prestige: This is the luxury-leaning choice, with the most comfort and convenience features, including the more comfortable driver’s seat, heated second-row captain’s chairs, and available Blind View Monitor. Choose it if you want the most polished Sorento experience and are willing to pay for it.

Kia Drive Wise is standard across the lineup, but some features vary by trim, and the Blind View Monitor remains exclusive to SX Prestige X-Line.

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

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

• Deal availability: 30.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,386 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.56% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 85.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $24,086.23, 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 $24,073 sits slightly below last year's $27,221.

That price movement suggests the Sorento has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price today. A softer market now can also make it easier for you to find a well-equipped example without paying peak pricing.

For resale, the key is to buy a trim and condition level that other shoppers will still want later. Strong equipment, good maintenance history, and broad owner satisfaction can help support demand when it’s time to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.64/5, 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. In frontal-impact testing, it earns four-star ratings for the driver and front passenger, and it also earns a four-star rating for rollover resistance. In all other NHTSA tests, it earns five-star ratings.

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

Kia Drive Wise is standard on every 2022 Sorento, though the exact contents vary by trim. The system includes technologies such as rear-seat reminder, Junction Assist, adaptive cruise control, Lane Following Assist, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, and Highway Driving Assist. The Blind View Monitor is exclusive to SX Prestige X-Line, so not every trim gets the same level of camera-based visibility support.

One caveat is that the IIHS headlight rating is weaker on most trims, with the best headlights reserved for the SX and SX Prestige models. If safety is a top priority, those higher trims are worth a closer look.

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:

• 30.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.56% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.64/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 adds a standard 10.25-inch infotainment system on most trims and expands the X-Line package availability.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $21,164, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $24,073 average.
• It offers a redesigned three-row layout that balances family usefulness with a more manageable footprint.

The bottom line: If you want the better-equipped and more current Sorento, the 2022 is the stronger all-around pick. If your budget is tighter, the 2021 can still make sense because it delivers the Sorento’s core family-SUV strengths at a lower price.
