How much does the 2023 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 6.39% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,282 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2023 Kia Sorento a good car?

The 2023 Kia Sorento is a balanced choice if you want a midsize SUV with family-friendly space and a wide range of powertrain choices, and its user rating is 3.7/5. The Sorento’s expanded cabin, upscale touches, and standard third row make it appealing if you want more versatility than a compact SUV, while the available hybrid and turbocharged setups broaden its appeal for different driving needs. Its standard and available safety equipment also adds to its everyday usefulness. 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you a decent chance to find a competitive listing.

Is the 2023 Kia Sorento reliable?

The 2023 Kia Sorento is presented as a polished midsize SUV with a strong feature set, broad powertrain choices, and useful family-oriented equipment. It also offers standard safety tech and available driver-assist upgrades that help it feel well equipped for daily use. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the specific vehicle has been maintained well, since a feature-rich SUV can become more expensive to own if prior care was inconsistent.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Kia Sorento?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should prioritize a history report first, then inspect the vehicle closely for signs of prior damage, uneven wear, or poor repairs. Focus on the condition of the third row, interior trim, and any technology or safety features you expect to use regularly. A careful test drive and pre-purchase inspection can help you separate a clean, well-kept Sorento from one that may need extra work.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Kia Sorento?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,282 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.39% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 85.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $26,274, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Kia Sorento's resale value?

The current average of $26,274 sits slightly below last year's $28,068.

That price movement suggests the Sorento has softened enough to give used buyers more leverage today. If you buy at the current market level and keep the vehicle in strong condition, you may have a better chance of limiting depreciation pressure later. A clean history and desirable equipment should help support resale when it is time to sell.

Should I buy a 2023 Kia Sorento or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.39% compared with last year.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $22,551, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $26,274 average.
• It adds useful updates to the redesigned Sorento.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $28,637, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $26,274 average.
• It brings a more upscale look and easier-to-use tech.

The bottom line: The 2023 is the best all-around path if you want a well-equipped Sorento with a softer used price than newer models. If your priority is saving money, the 2022 is the better value play, while the 2024 makes sense if you want the newer styling and updates and are willing to pay more.
