How much does the 2024 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 8.79% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,532 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 well if you want a value-packed, family-friendly midsize SUV that is smaller and cheaper than many three-row rivals, yet still gives you a standard third row. The 2024 update also makes it look and feel more upscale, while the revised infotainment and safety systems make it easier to live with.

The main trade-offs are the underwhelming base engine and the cramped third row, and the top trims can get expensive quickly. Even so, the market still shows 37.0% good or great deals, which keeps the Sorento in a competitive buying zone.

Is the 2024 Kia Sorento reliable?

The 2024 Sorento’s appeal is built around practicality, standard safety equipment, and a broad range of trims rather than any single mechanical standout. The gas-powered version is positioned as a value choice, and the updated tech and safety systems are meant to make day-to-day ownership easier.

Its base engine is described as overmatched by the vehicle’s weight, while the turbocharged version is more satisfying and better suited to the Sorento’s size. The updated systems are designed to be easier to use and more future-proof, and Kia says the adaptive cruise control systems are better able to learn from driver behavior over time.

Kia also includes over-the-air updates, which should help keep the software current over time. For used buyers, the biggest long-term ownership risk is choosing a trim that feels underpowered or overpaying for features you may not need.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.5% — 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 overall condition, how the tech works, and whether the trim you’re looking at has the features you actually want.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX, S, EX, SX, SX-Prestige, X-Line, and X-Pro each bring different equipment and appearance upgrades. 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 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 trims add 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 models return 25 or 26 mpg combined, while turbocharged models 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, but it comes with the underwhelming base engine and misses some of the richer equipment found higher up the range. It makes sense only if you want the lowest starting price and can live with the most basic setup.
• S: This is the first step up if you want a little more flexibility, including available all-wheel drive. It still uses the base engine, so it’s best if you value price and don’t mind modest performance.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it unlocks the stronger turbocharged engine and a more satisfying driving experience. It’s the trim to target if you want the Sorento to feel properly powered 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 daily driver. It’s a good middle ground if you want more features without going all the way to the top.
• SX-Prestige: This is the luxury-leaning choice, with the nicest interior and more advanced tech. It suits you if comfort and features matter more than value.
• X-Line: This is the better pick if you want the added ground clearance and more rugged styling. It also brings AWD and a more outdoorsy look, making it a smart choice for buyers who want capability and style together.
• X-Pro: This is the most capability-focused version, with all-terrain tires, improved cooling, and a higher tow rating. Choose it if you want the Sorento’s most adventurous setup and can justify the extra cost.

The safety package is especially broad, and higher trims add more advanced driver-assistance features.

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

The market looks moderately favorable if you’re a selective buyer.

• Deal availability: 37.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,532 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.79% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,713, 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 $29,134 sits slightly below last year's $31,943.

That softer pricing suggests the Sorento has become more approachable for used buyers, but it also means sellers may need to be realistic about expectations. If you plan to resell later, the current trend points to a market that has already adjusted downward, so condition and trim choice will matter more than simply waiting for appreciation.

For a future seller, the strongest resale position will likely come from a well-kept example with desirable equipment and a trim that balances price and features. Higher trims may still appeal to shoppers, but they can be harder to recoup fully if the market stays value-conscious.

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, which includes automated lane changes.

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:

• 37.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.79% compared with last year.
• The 2024 brings a visual glow-up, easier-to-use tech, and more standard safety features.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $31,842, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $29,134 average.
• It adds broader powertrain choice, including hybrid and plug-in hybrid options.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2024 is the smarter starting point because it combines lower pricing with meaningful updates. If you’re willing to spend more for a broader powertrain lineup, the 2025 is the better path, especially if you want hybrid flexibility.
