How much does the 2023 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 5.19% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,504 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Kia Sorento a good car?

The 2023 Kia Sorento is a balanced choice if you want a three-row SUV that emphasizes space, style, and a more upscale cabin without moving into a larger class. It earns a user rating of 3.67/5, and its appeal is strongest if you want a practical family SUV with a polished interior and a broad mix of powertrain choices.

The Sorento’s three-row layout can comfortably fit adults, and the cabin brings a more premium feel with wood-grained trim and quilted leather upholstery. It also offers a comprehensive suite of standard safety features, plus available second-row captain’s chairs starting with the EX trim, which makes it especially useful for family duty.

With 36.4% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a competitive offer if you shop carefully.

Is the 2023 Kia Sorento reliable?

The 2023 Kia Sorento stands out as a family SUV that blends space, style, and a wide range of powertrain choices. It also benefits from a comprehensive suite of standard safety features and a well-equipped base model, which adds to its everyday appeal.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the specific vehicle you choose has been maintained well and checked carefully, since condition matters a lot in a three-row SUV that may have seen heavy family use.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the report carefully for prior damage, title issues, and service history before you commit. Put extra inspection priority on the cabin, electronics, and any features you plan to use often, since the Sorento’s appeal depends heavily on comfort and equipment. Focus on overall condition and how well the vehicle has been cared for, not just the trim level or feature list.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop, compare, and wait for the right listing.

• Deal availability: 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,504 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.19% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 88.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,083, 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 $27,336 sits slightly below last year's $28,832.

That softer pricing can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle, but it also means future resale gains may be limited if the market stays soft. If you plan to sell later, condition and mileage will matter even more because the model’s value has already moved down from last year. A well-kept example should hold up better than one with visible wear or a rough history.

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:

• 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.19% compared with last year.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $23,566, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $27,336 average.
• It offers a fresh redesign with a strong feature set.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $29,167, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $27,336 average.
• It brings updated tech and a more modern look.

The bottom line: The 2023 is the best all-around path if you want a well-equipped Sorento with softer pricing than the newer model year. If your priority is saving money, the 2022 is the better secondary path, especially if you find one in strong condition with the features you want.
