How much does the 2024 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 7.26% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,597 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare. If you find a listing below $27,738.46, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2024 Kia Sorento a good car?

The 2024 Kia Sorento earns an 8.67/10 expert rating.

The model scores 9/10 across Form and function, Cost effectiveness, Technology, and Safety.

It fits you well if you want a practical, family-friendly SUV that stays smaller and cheaper than many three-row midsize rivals while still giving you a standard third row. The 2024 update also makes it look and feel more upscale, and the tech is easier to use than before.

The main trade-offs are the underwhelming base engine and the cramped third row, and top trims can get expensive.

With 34.1% of listings priced as good or great deals, the market gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Kia Sorento reliable?

The 2024 Sorento is presented as a value-minded family SUV with a solidly assembled cabin and a broad set of standard safety features. Its updated tech and safety systems are part of the appeal, and the gas model’s mechanical lineup is straightforward rather than overly complex.

The base engine is described as overmatched by the Sorento’s weight, while the turbocharged version feels much more capable and better suited to the vehicle. The updated infotainment system is also designed to be easier to use and more future-proof.

Kia’s maintenance coverage can help reduce early ownership costs when that perk applies to the trim you choose.

For used buyers, the bigger long-term risk is choosing a version that feels underpowered or has been worn down by family-duty use.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Kia Sorento?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re looking at a higher-mileage example or a trim that may have seen heavier family use. Focus on overall condition, interior wear, and whether the features you want are actually present on the specific vehicle you’re considering.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup ranges from LX, S, EX, SX, SX-Prestige, X-Line, and X-Pro, with the rugged-looking X-Line package reserved for EX and higher models and the SX-Prestige also available as an X-Line or the new X-Pro. The base models don’t get all the fixings, while the X-Line and X-Pro add more aggressive styling and a more upscale feel.
• Powertrain: The LX and S use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque, while EX and higher models use a turbocharged 2.5-liter with 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. The base engine is the weaker choice, while the turbo feels much more lively.
• Safety package: Kia’s Drivewise suite includes adaptive cruise control with stop and go, forward automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, intersection assistance, lane-following and lane-keeping assist, rear cross-traffic alert with emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and safe exit warnings. Navigation-based adaptive cruise control, Highway Driving Assist, and Highway Driving Assist 2 are available higher up the lineup, with the most advanced system on the SX-Prestige.
• Infotainment: All models use a 12.3-inch screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and the system can receive over-the-air updates. SX and SX-Prestige models add a second 12.3-inch digital display, while lower trims use a smaller driver information display.
• Fuel efficiency: The gas-powered Sorento is only about average for its class, with non-turbo versions returning 25 or 26 mpg combined and turbocharged versions getting 23 mpg combined.

Which 2024 Kia Sorento trim should I buy?

The 2024 Kia Sorento is offered in 7 trim levels: LX, S, EX, SX, SX-Prestige, X-Line, and X-Pro.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, but it comes with the weaker engine and misses some of the nicer equipment and capability upgrades found higher in the lineup. It makes sense only if your priority is the lowest starting price.
• S: This is the better-value starting point if you want to stay with the non-turbo engine but add a little more flexibility, including available all-wheel drive. It still leaves you with the less satisfying powertrain, though.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it unlocks the stronger turbocharged engine and opens the door to more appealing equipment. If you want the Sorento to feel properly motivated without overspending, start here.
• SX: This trim adds more upscale equipment and pairs well with the turbo engine, making it a strong choice if you want a nicer daily driver without going all the way to the top.
• SX-Prestige: This is for you if you want the nicest interior and the most features, but it pushes the price up quickly.
• X-Line: This is the better pick if you want the extra ground clearance and more rugged look, especially when paired with the turbo engine and all-wheel drive.
• X-Pro: This is the most capability-focused choice, with all-terrain tires, improved cooling, and the highest towing rating. It suits you best if you actually plan to use the Sorento for rough weather or light trail duty.

The most advanced safety package is on the SX-Prestige, where Highway Driving Assist 2 adds automated lane changes.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Kia Sorento?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,597 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.26% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 92.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,738.46, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Kia Sorento's resale value?

The current average of $29,513 sits slightly below last year's $31,825.

That softer pricing suggests the Sorento has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help you if you’re buying now. If you keep the vehicle in good condition and avoid overpaying for a top trim, you may be better positioned when it’s time to sell.

The current market also shows that shoppers are still willing to pay more for cleaner, better-equipped examples, so trim choice and condition matter. A well-kept Sorento with desirable equipment should hold up better than a bare-bones version with the weaker engine.

Is the 2024 Kia Sorento safe?

The 2024 Kia Sorento has not yet been fully evaluated by IIHS, but it has earned Good ratings in the small overlap, original moderate overlap front, and original side tests. Its LATCH system earns an Acceptable rating.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Kia’s Drivewise suite is a major strength here, with standard adaptive cruise control with stop and go, forward automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, intersection assistance, lane-following and lane-keeping assist, rear cross-traffic alert with emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and safe exit warnings. Higher trims add navigation-based adaptive cruise control, Highway Driving Assist, and Highway Driving Assist 2 with automated lane changes.

The main caveat is that IIHS has not fully completed its evaluation, so you should pay attention to the specific trim’s safety equipment rather than assuming every version is identical.

Should I buy a 2024 Kia Sorento or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.26% compared with last year.
• The 2024 update brings a visual glow-up, easier-to-use tech, and more safety features.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $32,238, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $29,513 average.
• It carries over with no significant changes after the 2024 refresh.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2024 is the smarter buy because it delivers the refreshed design and updated tech at a lower average price. If you’re willing to pay more for a newer model year with essentially the same formula, the 2025 is the secondary path for buyers who care more about recency than savings.
