How much does the 2024 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 8.48% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,485 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 Kia Sorento a good car?

The 2024 Kia Sorento earns an 8.67/10 expert rating, and it fits well if you want a value-packed, family-friendly midsize SUV that stays smaller and cheaper than many three-row rivals.

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

Its strengths are clear: it brings a standard third row, updated tech, and standard advanced safety features, while the refreshed design makes it feel more upscale than before. The trade-offs are just as important: the base engine is underwhelming, the third row is cramped, and the top trims get expensive quickly.

With 36.4% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Kia Sorento reliable?

The 2024 Kia Sorento is positioned as a practical, family-friendly SUV, and its updated systems are meant to make ownership easier to live with. The refreshed infotainment setup is designed to be easier to use and more future-proof, and the safety suite is broad and standard across the lineup.

Its powertrain lineup is straightforward, with the base gas engine focused more on efficiency than punch and the turbocharged version delivering stronger everyday performance. The gas model’s combined fuel economy is only average for the class, so long-term ownership costs will depend heavily on how you drive and which trim you choose.

If you plan to keep one for the long haul, the biggest risk is ending up with a trim that feels underpowered or overpriced for your needs.

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 history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with optional equipment. Focus on overall condition, how the tech works, and whether the trim you’re looking at has the features you actually want, since the lineup changes meaningfully as you move up.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes LX, S, EX, SX, SX-Prestige, X-Line, and X-Pro. The base LX misses some of the nicer tech and convenience upgrades, while higher trims add a more upscale cabin, larger displays, and more capability-focused hardware.
• 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 engine is the better choice if you want stronger acceleration and more relaxed 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 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 entry point, but it’s best only if you want the lowest price and can live with the most basic setup. It gets the standard third row and the core safety suite, but it lacks the richer tech and stronger engine found higher up.
• S: This is the first trim worth serious attention if you want a better balance of value and usability. It still uses the base engine, but it opens the door to more equipment and can be had with all-wheel drive.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds the turbocharged engine and a more satisfying driving experience without jumping into luxury-pricing territory.
• SX: This is the step up if you want more upscale features and the stronger engine, plus access to the X-Line setup for added ground clearance and a more rugged look.
• SX-Prestige: This is for you if you want the nicest cabin and the most tech, but it’s also where pricing starts to climb quickly.
• X-Line: This is the better pick if you want the more aggressive styling and extra ground clearance that come with the AWD setup.
• X-Pro: This is the choice if you want the most capability in the gas lineup, including all-terrain tires, improved cooling, and the highest towing rating.

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?

The market looks moderate and selective buyers should have options, especially if you’re willing to compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,485 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.48% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,741, 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 $29,167 sits slightly below last year's $31,870.

That softer pricing suggests the Sorento is currently more buyer-friendly than it was a year ago. If you’re planning to sell later, that means you may not recover as much as owners did when prices were higher.

The good news is that the model still has broad appeal thanks to its family-friendly layout and standard third row. If you buy well now, you can help protect your future resale by choosing a desirable trim and keeping the vehicle in strong condition.

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.

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 IIHS has not fully evaluated the vehicle yet, and its LATCH system earns only an “Acceptable” rating.

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:

• 36.4% 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 8.48% 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 $31,945, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $29,167 average.
• It adds broader powertrain availability and keeps the refreshed formula largely intact.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2024 is the smarter buy because it delivers the refresh at a lower average price. If you’re willing to pay more for a newer model year and broader powertrain choice, the 2025 is the alternative to watch.
