How much does the 2024 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 7.48% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,322 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing trims and prices.

Is the 2024 Kia Sorento a good car?

The 2024 Kia Sorento earns an 8.7/10 from our experts.

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

It fits your needs well if you want a right-sized family SUV with a standard third row, more space than a compact crossover, and a lower price than many larger three-row rivals. The 2024 update also brings a more upscale look, easier-to-use tech, and more standard safety equipment.

The trade-offs are still real: the base engine is underwhelming, and the third row remains cramped. If you want a family hauler that balances practicality and affordability, the Sorento makes a strong case, and 36.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Is the 2024 Kia Sorento reliable?

The 2024 Kia Sorento is presented as a solidly assembled family SUV with a strong value focus and a broad set of standard safety features. Its updated powertrain lineup and revised tech interface suggest a more polished ownership experience than earlier versions.

The performance notes point to a base engine that feels overmatched, while the turbocharged setup is much more capable and better suited to the vehicle’s size. The updated infotainment and safety systems also point to a more modern, better-integrated package.

Kia’s updated safety and driver-assistance systems are designed to be more capable and more precise, though sensor performance can be affected by foul weather. For long-term ownership, the main risk for used buyers 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 solid at 89.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully, even when a listing looks clean on paper. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the third row, interior wear, and any signs that the vehicle was used heavily as a family hauler. Focus on overall condition, because trim and equipment differences can be significant across the lineup.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes LX, S, EX, SX, SX-Prestige, X-Line, and X-Pro. The base trims are simpler, while higher trims add a more upscale cockpit, better displays, and more premium features.
• Powertrain: The base 2.5-liter four-cylinder makes 191 horsepower and feels underpowered, while the turbocharged 2.5-liter delivers 281 horsepower and much stronger 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. Higher trims add navigation-based adaptive cruise control, Highway Driving Assist, and Highway Driving Assist 2 on the SX-Prestige.
• Infotainment: All trims use a 12.3-inch screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and the system supports over-the-air updates. SX and SX-Prestige models add a second 12.3-inch digital display.
• Fuel efficiency: The gas-powered versions are only about average for the class, and turbocharged models return 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 is also the most basic. It makes sense only if you want the lowest entry price and can live without the richer tech and comfort upgrades found higher up the range.
• S: This trim is the first step up if you want a little more flexibility, and it can be paired with all-wheel drive. It is still a value-oriented choice, but the base engine remains the same.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it unlocks the stronger turbocharged engine and a more upscale feel without jumping all the way to the top of the lineup.
• SX: This trim adds more premium equipment and is a good fit if you want a richer cabin and more features while staying below the most expensive versions.
• SX-Prestige: This is the luxury-leaning choice if you want the nicest interior, the most available tech, and the most premium experience in the lineup.
• X-Line: This is the better pick if you want the added ground clearance, more aggressive styling, and the all-wheel-drive setup that comes with the package on eligible trims.
• X-Pro: This is the trim to choose if you want the most capability in the gas lineup, including all-terrain tires, improved towing capacity, and the most rugged setup.

The safety package is a major strength 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 is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to compare listings and wait for the right one.

• Deal availability: 36.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,322 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.48% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 89.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,703, 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 $28,637 sits slightly below last year's $30,954.

That price movement suggests the Sorento has softened enough to help used buyers, but it also means sellers may need to be realistic on asking price. If you plan to resell later, the current market points to steady but not especially strong short-term appreciation.

For a future seller, the key takeaway is that well-equipped trims and clean-history examples should hold up better than base models. The strongest resale prospects will likely come from versions that balance desirable equipment with broad buyer appeal.

Is the 2024 Kia Sorento safe?

The 2024 Kia Sorento has earned “Good” ratings in IIHS small overlap, original moderate overlap front, and original side tests, and it has not yet been fully evaluated by IIHS. It also earns an “Acceptable” rating for its LATCH system.

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.

The main caveat is that the LATCH system is not as strong as the rest of the safety package, and IIHS has not fully evaluated the vehicle yet. Even so, the Sorento’s standard safety equipment is a major strength for used buyers.

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:

• 36.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.48% 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 $31,354, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $28,637 average.
• It is almost unchanged, but may lose its IIHS Top Safety Pick rating.

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 are willing to pay more for a newer model year, the 2025 is the fallback, but it does not bring enough change to justify the higher cost for most shoppers.
