How much does the 2023 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 5.45% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,596 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 value, and its user rating is 3.67/5. The cabin moves upmarket with wood-grained trim and quilted leather upholstery, and the base LX includes smart key with push-button start and smart cruise control. It also suits you well if you want a well-equipped midsize SUV without having to move far up the trim ladder. Deal availability is strong, with 34.3% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2023 Kia Sorento reliable?

The 2023 Kia Sorento brings a comprehensive suite of standard safety features, and Kia added the blind-spot monitor and rear automatic braking to the base LX for this model year. It also offers available second-row captain’s chairs starting with the EX trim, which adds to its family-friendly appeal. The blind-spot view camera was available, but it was described as more distracting than helpful, especially at night. For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is mainly about making sure the vehicle has been maintained well and that its condition matches its equipment level.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that checks the cabin, electronics, and safety systems, since this model’s appeal depends heavily on its feature set. Focus on overall condition and make sure the equipment you want is actually present on the specific listing you’re considering. If a vehicle has been in an accident or shows signs of heavy wear, it’s worth being extra cautious even if the price looks attractive.

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 carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 34.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,596 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.45% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 88.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,097, 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 $27,495 sits slightly below last year's $29,080.

That price movement suggests the Sorento has softened enough to help you buy more selectively today. If you plan to sell later, the current market indicates you may not see the same pricing strength that existed a year ago. A well-kept example with strong history and desirable equipment should still hold up better than a rougher one.

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:

• 34.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.45% compared with last year.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $23,731, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $27,495 average.
• It offers a fresh redesign with broad everyday appeal.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $29,433, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $27,495 average.
• It adds updated tech and a more polished look.

The bottom line: The 2023 is the best all-around starting point if you want a well-equipped Sorento at a softer price than the newer model year. If your priority is saving money, the 2022 is the better value path. If you want newer styling and updated features, the 2024 is worth the extra cost.
