How much does the 2022 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 12.12% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

With 3,418 listings available, you have a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

If you find a listing below $23,872.78, 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 an 8.67/10 expert rating, which puts it in strong overall territory for used shoppers. The model scores 10/10 across Look and feel and Cost effectiveness.

Owners consistently praise its modern design, spacious interior, and family-friendly features like third-row seating. They also frequently like its performance and fuel economy, while the great warranty adds to the appeal for long-term peace of mind.

The trade-offs are clear: the base engine is underwhelming, the third row is cramped, and the voice recognition system is poor. That means the Sorento makes the most sense if you want a stylish, flexible three-row SUV and can live with some compromises in entry-level power and rear-seat space.

With 33.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still 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 vehicle that feels modern, family-friendly, and dependable enough to inspire confidence over time.

The expert evaluation reinforces that impression by emphasizing the Sorento’s rock-solid construction, impeccable quality, and generous warranty. It also highlights the SUV’s modern safety tech, which adds to the sense that Kia built this model to be easy to live with for the long haul.

If you’re buying used, the main long-term risk is choosing a poorly maintained example with the weaker base setup or neglected tech and interior wear.

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 check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper records review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with more equipment to test. Focus on cabin condition, third-row usability, and whether the features you care about actually work as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LX trim is the one that misses out on the standard 10.25-inch infotainment system, while other trims get the larger setup with navigation and connected services. Higher trims also bring more upscale cabin touches, and the SX Prestige adds 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 weakest choice and is paired only with LX and S trim. Starting with EX, you get the turbocharged 2.5-liter with 281 hp and 311 pound-feet of torque, and the lineup also includes hybrid and plug-in hybrid options.
• Safety package: Kia Drive Wise is standard, and the package includes features such as rear-seat reminder, Junction Assist, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, and Highway Driving Assist. Blind View Monitor is exclusive to the SX Prestige X-Line, so lower trims miss that feature.
• 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 an 8-inch system, and the larger screen requires a cable rather than wireless smartphone integration.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbocharged gas model is rated at 24 mpg in combined driving, while the hybrid is estimated at 35 mpg to 37 mpg combined. The plug-in hybrid can travel 32 miles on electricity and returns 34 mpg in combined driving after that.

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 weaker base engine and the smaller 8-inch infotainment system.
• S: This trim is the better value if you want to stay near the bottom of the lineup but still get more of the Sorento’s standard safety and family-friendly appeal.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it unlocks the stronger turbocharged engine and adds more desirable everyday equipment.
• SX Prestige: Choose this if you want the most upscale Sorento experience, including the richer cabin treatment and the added comfort features that make long drives easier.

Kia Drive Wise is standard across the lineup, but the 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 carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,418 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.12% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 86.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $23,872.78, 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 $23,863 sits slightly below last year's $27,153.

That price movement suggests the Sorento has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future owners if they buy at the right price. If you purchase near the lower end of the range, you may have less downside left than a buyer who paid closer to the original market peak.

The model’s broad appeal also matters: family-friendly packaging, strong safety tech, and a good reputation with owners can help support demand when you eventually 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 assessments, it earns five-star ratings.

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

Kia Drive Wise is standard, and the package includes features such as rear-seat reminder, Junction Assist, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, and Highway Driving Assist. Highway Driving Assist is a Level 2 semi-autonomous system that helps with speed control and lane centering while still requiring you to keep your hands on the wheel.

One caveat is that the headlights on all but the SX and SX Prestige trims receive the lower IIHS headlight rating, so trim choice matters if safety equipment is a priority.

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:

• 33.5% 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 12.12% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.64/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 brings expanded X-Line availability and a standard 10.25-inch infotainment system on most trims.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $20,968, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $23,863 average.
• It offers a redesigned three-row SUV package that balances family usefulness with a more manageable footprint.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger shopping case, the 2022 is the better pick because it combines lower prices than last year, strong owner satisfaction, and meaningful feature updates. If your main goal is to spend less up front, the 2021 can still make sense, especially if you value a smaller, easier-to-maneuver three-row SUV.
