How much does the 2023 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 5.24% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,560 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare by trim, mileage, and condition.

Is the 2023 Kia Sorento a good car?

The 2023 Kia Sorento is a strong fit if you want a family SUV that balances space, style, and equipment, and its 3.67/5 user rating suggests a mixed but generally favorable ownership experience. The cabin is described as more upscale than you might expect at this price, and the three-row layout gives you room for adults along with a practical family-friendly setup. It also makes sense if you want a well-equipped midsize SUV without having to move far up the trim ladder. With 35.4% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a meaningful chance to find a competitively priced example.

Is the 2023 Kia Sorento reliable?

The 2023 Kia Sorento is presented as a well-equipped family SUV with a comprehensive suite of standard safety features and a broad mix of comfort-focused equipment. It also adds blind-spot monitoring and rear automatic braking to the base LX, which strengthens its everyday appeal for shoppers who value safety tech. The overall package feels polished and practical, especially if you want a three-row SUV that does a lot without feeling stripped down.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is mainly about finding one that has been maintained carefully and inspected thoroughly, since condition and history matter more than the feature list.

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 history report first, then focus your inspection on signs of prior damage, uneven wear, and any evidence that the vehicle’s condition doesn’t match the listing. Because this model can be bought in a wide range of trims and equipment levels, it also makes sense to compare how each example was used and whether the features you want are actually present and working.

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 but still move quickly on the right listing.

• Deal availability: 35.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,560 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.24% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 88.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,086, 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 $27,169 sits slightly below last year's $28,673.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more selectively now. For a future seller, it also means resale value may depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the vehicle is equipped. If you keep the Sorento clean, documented, and accident-free, you should be in a better position when it’s 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:

• 35.4% 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 5.24% compared with last year.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $23,510, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $27,169 average.
• Fresh redesign with broad standard tech.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $29,134, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $27,169 average.
• Updated styling and easier-to-use tech.

The bottom line: The 2023 is the best fit if you want a well-equipped, family-friendly Sorento at a softer market price than the newer model year. If your priority is saving money, the 2022 is the stronger value play; if you want the newer look and updates, the 2024 is the better upgrade path.
