How much does the 2023 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 5.33% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,643 listings available, which gives you a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.

If you find a listing below $27,098.85, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2023 Kia Sorento a good car?

The 2023 Kia Sorento is a solid fit if you want a midsize SUV that combines three-row space with a broad mix of powertrains and features. Its 3.67/5 user rating suggests it lands in the middle rather than at the top of the class, but the Sorento’s family-friendly packaging and upscale cabin touches give it clear appeal.

The overview points to a practical, well-rounded SUV with enough room for adults in the third row, plus a more luxurious interior treatment than many rivals. It also stands out for offering multiple engine choices, including a hybrid, so you can prioritize efficiency, stronger acceleration, or a balance of both depending on your needs.

30.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which means there are still some attractive opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2023 Kia Sorento reliable?

The 2023 Kia Sorento is presented as a practical family SUV with a comprehensive safety suite and a broad feature set, which supports its appeal for everyday use. It also adds useful standard equipment on the base LX, including a blind-spot monitor and rear automatic braking, which strengthens its value proposition.

The overview also notes a drawback: the blind-spot view camera can be more distracting than helpful, especially at night. For long-term ownership, that means you should pay close attention to how the vehicle’s tech and safety systems behave in real-world driving before you commit.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still confirm the report matches the seller’s claims and look closely at any signs of prior damage, even if the listing appears clean. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the cabin electronics, driver-assist features, and any equipment that varies by trim, since the Sorento’s appeal depends heavily on how well those systems work. Focus on overall condition and maintenance history, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or a more feature-rich trim.

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

This is a moderate buyer’s market, so you can be selective without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 30.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,643 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.33% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 88.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,098.85, 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 $27,710 sits slightly below last year's $29,270.

That decline suggests the Sorento has become a bit more affordable for used buyers, which can help demand stay steady. For a future seller, it also means you may need to price competitively if you want your listing to stand out. The good news is that the Sorento’s family-friendly layout and broad feature mix should still support interest from shoppers looking for a practical three-row SUV.

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:

• 30.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.33% compared with last year.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $24,073, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $27,710 average.
• It adds more electrified options and a stronger standard infotainment setup.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $29,639, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $27,710 average.
• It brings updated styling, easier tech, and more standard safety features.

The bottom line: The 2023 is the best all-around choice if you want a balanced mix of price, inventory, and feature content. If your priority is saving money, the 2022 is the smarter secondary path; if you want newer styling and updated tech, the 2024 is worth the extra spend.
