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 SUV that stays smaller and cheaper than many three-row midsize rivals while still giving you a standard third row. The 2024 refresh also makes it look and feel more upscale, and the updated tech is easier to use.

The trade-offs are clear: the base engine is underwhelming, and the third row is cramped. Top trims can also get pricey if you chase the nicest equipment.

30.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there is still room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Kia Sorento reliable?

The 2024 Sorento is presented as a solidly assembled family SUV with a value-focused mission and a broad spread of trims and equipment. Its updated cabin and standard safety tech support the case for everyday dependability, especially if you want a vehicle that feels more upscale than its price suggests.

The gas powertrains are straightforward, with the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder and a turbocharged 2.5-liter upgrade on higher trims. The turbo version is described as lively off the line and better suited to the Sorento’s weight, while the base engine is called overmatched.

Kia also says the adaptive cruise systems are designed to learn from driver behavior over time, and the improved sensors are meant to keep following distances more precise. The first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is choosing a trim that feels underpowered or overextended for your needs, which can make the vehicle less satisfying over time.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you are considering a higher-mileage example or a trim with more equipment. Focus on overall condition, tire wear, brake feel, and whether the cabin electronics and driver-assistance features work as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX, S, EX, SX, SX-Prestige, X-Line, and X-Pro versions differ in appearance, cabin polish, and capability. Base trims miss some of the more upscale touches, while the X-Line and X-Pro bring more aggressive styling and added ground clearance.
• 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 trims use a turbocharged 2.5-liter with 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. The turbo setup is the stronger choice if you want more confident passing power.
• 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. Highway Driving Assist is available, and Highway Driving Assist 2 with automated lane changes is standard on the SX-Prestige.
• Infotainment: All trims use a 12.3-inch screen, with SX and SX-Prestige models adding a second 12.3-inch digital display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and the system supports over-the-air updates.
• Fuel efficiency: The non-turbo gas versions return 25 or 26 mpg combined, while turbocharged versions get 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 if you want the lowest price, but it comes with the base 191-horsepower engine and misses some of the nicer tech and convenience upgrades. It makes sense only if you are shopping strictly on budget.
• S: This is the better-value starting point if you want a little more flexibility, since all-wheel drive is available here. It still uses the base engine, so it is best for buyers who care more about price than punch.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it unlocks the stronger turbocharged engine and a more satisfying driving experience. It is the trim to target if you want the Sorento’s core strengths without jumping too far up the price ladder.
• SX: This trim adds more upscale equipment and pairs well with the turbo engine, making it a strong choice if you want a nicer-feeling daily driver. It is a good step up if you want more polish without going all the way to the top.
• SX-Prestige: This is for you if you want the most luxurious cabin and the richest feature set. It brings the nicest interior treatment and the most advanced available tech, but it is also where the Sorento starts to get expensive.
• X-Line: This is the smart pick if you want the added ground clearance, AWD, and more rugged styling without moving to the very top of the range. It is one of the best-balanced choices in the lineup.
• X-Pro: This is the trim to choose if you want the most capability, including all-terrain tires and the higher tow rating. It is the most specialized version and makes the most sense if you value that extra hardware.

Kia’s safety package is broad, and the higher trims add more advanced driver-assistance features, including Highway Driving Assist 2 on the SX-Prestige.

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

The market looks moderate and selective right now, so you can shop with some leverage if you are patient.

• Inventory: There are 3,588 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.10% compared with last year.

What is the 2024 Kia Sorento's resale value?

The current average of $29,639 sits slightly below last year's $31,566.

That price movement suggests the Sorento has softened enough to help you buy more carefully today. If you are a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on trim, condition, and how well-equipped your vehicle is.

Higher trims may still hold appeal because they offer more features and a more upscale feel, but they also start from a higher purchase price. If you plan to sell later, keeping mileage reasonable and the vehicle well maintained should matter a lot.

Is the 2024 Kia Sorento safe?

The 2024 Kia Sorento has not yet been fully evaluated by IIHS or NHTSA, but it has earned Good ratings in IIHS 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 on the SX-Prestige.

That said, the LATCH result is a useful reminder to check child-seat fit carefully if you plan to use the Sorento as a family hauler. Sensor performance can also be affected by foul weather and buildup on the sensors.

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:

• 30.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.10% compared with last year.
• The 2024 refresh brings easier-to-use tech, more safety features, and the new X-Pro trim.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $32,460, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $29,639 average.
• It carries over with little change and adds a right-sized feel.

The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2024 if you want the refreshed design, stronger tech, and better pricing today. If you are price-sensitive, the 2024 is the better buy; if you want a near-identical newer model and do not mind paying more, the 2025 is the fallback.
