How much does the 2024 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 7.78% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,546 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable selection to compare.

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 value-packed, family-friendly midsize SUV that stays smaller and cheaper than many three-row rivals while still giving you a standard third row. The 2024 update also brings a more upscale look, easier-to-use tech, and more standard safety equipment.

The trade-offs are clear: the base engine is underwhelming, the third row is cramped, and the top trims get expensive quickly.

With 35.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Kia Sorento reliable?

The 2024 Kia Sorento is presented as a solidly assembled family SUV with a value focus, and its updated safety and tech systems add to that sense of everyday usability. The expert review also emphasizes that the gas-powered version is a familiar, well-developed package rather than a major mechanical rethink.

Its performance notes point to a base 2.5-liter four-cylinder that feels overmatched, while the turbocharged 2.5-liter in higher trims is much more satisfying. That split matters for dependability-minded shoppers because the stronger engine is the one that better matches the Sorento’s size and weight.

The updated infotainment system is described as easier to use and more future-proof, and the vehicle can receive over-the-air updates. For long-term ownership, the main risk is choosing a version that feels strained in daily use, especially if you plan to keep it for many years.

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 vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or a trim with more equipment. Focus on cabin condition, third-row usability, and whether the features you want are actually present on the specific trim you’re looking at.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX, S, EX, SX, SX-Prestige, X-Line, and X-Pro each bring different equipment and appearance changes. Base models don’t get all the fixings, while higher trims add a more upscale cockpit, twin 12.3-inch displays, and more premium materials.
• 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 base engine is described as underwhelming, 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. Higher-level systems include navigation-based adaptive cruise control, Highway Driving Assist, and Highway Driving Assist 2 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.
• Fuel efficiency: 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 least expensive way into the Sorento, but it’s also the most basic. It makes sense only if you want the lowest entry price and can live without the stronger turbo engine and some of the nicer tech and convenience features.
• S: This trim is the better value if you want to stay near the bottom of the lineup but still want a more usable daily driver. It can add AWD, but it still uses the base engine, so you’re trading price for performance.
• EX: This is the smart upgrade for most shoppers because it unlocks the turbocharged engine and a more satisfying driving experience. It also opens the door to more desirable equipment, making it the best-value trim for many buyers.
• SX: This trim adds more premium content and pairs well with the turbo engine. If you want a richer cabin and more upscale features without going all the way to the top, this is a strong middle ground.
• SX-Prestige: This is the luxury-leaning choice, with the nicest interior touches and the most advanced available tech. It makes sense if you want the most polished Sorento experience and don’t mind paying for it.
• X-Line: This is the better pick if you want the Sorento’s extra ground clearance, AWD, and more rugged styling. It’s a good fit if you value capability and appearance together.
• X-Pro: This is the most capability-focused version, with all-terrain tires, improved cooling, and the highest towing rating in the lineup. It’s the one to choose if you want the Sorento’s most adventurous setup.

The safety package is broad across the lineup, but the most advanced driver-assistance features are reserved for higher trims.

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 and compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 35.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,546 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.78% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 92.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,744, 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 $29,433 sits slightly below last year's $31,917.

That price movement suggests the Sorento has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help you as a buyer today. If you plan to resell later, the softer current market means your future value will depend heavily on trim choice, mileage, and condition.

The strongest resale prospects are likely to come from well-equipped trims that balance price and desirability, rather than the most expensive versions. If you buy carefully now, you can reduce the chance of taking an outsized hit later.

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.

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

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. Higher trims add navigation-based adaptive cruise control, Highway Driving Assist, and Highway Driving Assist 2 on the SX-Prestige.

One caveat is that IIHS gave the LATCH system only an Acceptable rating because the lower anchors are too deep in the seat. That’s worth keeping in mind if you regularly install child seats.

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:

• 35.6% 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 7.78% compared with last year.
• The 2024 update brings a more upscale look, easier tech, and more standard safety features.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $32,048, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $29,433 average.
• It adds a broader powertrain lineup.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2024 is the stronger buy because it combines lower pricing with meaningful updates. If you’re willing to spend more for a newer model year and broader powertrain choice, the 2025 is worth a look, but price-sensitive buyers should focus on the 2024.
