How much does the 2022 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 12.44% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,416 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of inventory to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2022 Kia Sorento a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Kia Sorento earns a 4.64/5 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 third-row layout. The review summary also points to strong performance and fuel economy as recurring positives. On the trade-off side, the base model can feel short on features and comfort, and storage space could be better.

That fits the Sorento’s role as a stylish, family-oriented three-row SUV with broad appeal and a strong warranty. With 33.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have 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 also points to a dependable, family-friendly SUV that many shoppers feel good about living with over time. The expert evaluation reinforces that impression by highlighting the Sorento’s solid construction and quality feel throughout the cabin. Kia’s generous warranty and modern safety tech further support the case for confident ownership.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure you avoid a neglected example, especially one with higher wear or incomplete service history.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate, even if the listing looks clean. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with more equipment. Focus on cabin condition, electronics, and how well the vehicle has been maintained, since those details matter most in a family SUV.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LX is the least equipped version, while higher trims add more comfort and convenience. The X-Line package brings a more rugged look and standard AWD, and the SX Prestige adds a more comfortable driver’s seat and heated second-row captain’s chairs.
• Powertrain: The standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder is the weakest option, while the turbocharged 2.5-liter is the more satisfying choice. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions are also part of the lineup, with the plug-in hybrid offering electric-only driving before switching to hybrid operation.
• Safety package: Kia Drive Wise is standard, but its contents vary by trim. The system includes rear-seat reminder, Junction Assist, Highway Driving Assist, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, and a Blind View Monitor that is exclusive to the SX Prestige X-Line.
• Infotainment: The base LX keeps 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. Wireless smartphone integration is limited to the base system, while the larger screen requires a cable.
• Fuel efficiency: The hybrid is rated at 35 mpg to 37 mpg in combined driving, while the plug-in hybrid can travel 32 miles on electricity and returns 34 mpg in combined driving. The gas turbo model is rated at 24 mpg combined, though real-world testing came in lower.

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 entry point, and it makes sense if you want the lowest starting price and can live with the least advanced infotainment setup. It is the trim most clearly aimed at budget-conscious shoppers.
• S: This is the better-value choice if you want a more usable everyday Sorento without jumping too far up the price ladder. It keeps the model’s core family-SUV strengths while moving you beyond the most basic setup.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it unlocks the more satisfying turbocharged engine and adds more convenience equipment. If you want the Sorento to feel properly rounded, this is the trim to target.
• SX Prestige: Choose this if you want the most upscale Sorento experience, including the richest feature content and the most comfort-focused cabin upgrades. It is the trim for buyers who want the Sorento to feel as premium as possible.

Kia Drive Wise is standard, but the exact contents vary by trim, and the Blind View Monitor is exclusive to the 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 carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,416 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.44% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 86.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $23,731, 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 $23,731 sits slightly below last year's $27,103.

That decline suggests the market has become more favorable for buyers, but it also means a future seller may need to price competitively to stand out. If you own one, the current trend shows that values have already adjusted downward, so holding a clean, well-kept example matters more than ever. Strong equipment, good condition, and a desirable trim can help protect your asking price 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, with four-star ratings in frontal crash and rollover and 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 changes by version. The system includes rear-seat reminder, Junction Assist, Highway Driving Assist, and Intelligent Speed Limit Assist. Blind View Monitor is reserved for the SX Prestige X-Line, so lower trims miss that feature.

One caveat is that the headlights on most trims do not earn the top IIHS result; only the SX and SX Prestige trims get the highest-rated 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:

• 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.44% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.64/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 adds meaningful updates, including broader availability of the X-Line package and a standard 10.25-inch infotainment system on most trims.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $20,762, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $23,731 average.
• It offers a redesigned three-row SUV feel with strong technology and standard advanced safety features.

The 2022 is the better pick if you want the newer feature mix and a more current shopping pool. If your priority is saving money, the 2021 can still make sense, especially if you find a clean example with the equipment you want.
