How much does the 2025 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 8.14% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

With 2,239 listings available, you have a solid amount of inventory to compare across trims and conditions.

If you find a listing below $32,466.42, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2025 Kia Sorento a good car?

Yes — the 2025 Kia Sorento earns a 5/5 user rating and an 8.33/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Performance and Cost effectiveness.

It stands out as a family-friendly SUV that gives you an occasional-use third row without forcing you into the bulk of a larger three-row rival. The turbo-gas version is the one to focus on if you want stronger acceleration, and the review describes it as carrying over after a substantial refresh for 2024.

The trade-offs are clear: the third row is cramped, cargo space is limited, and the interior materials can feel cheap. Even so, the Sorento’s “right-sized” packaging makes sense if you want extra seating and a more manageable footprint.

With 30.2% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2025 Kia Sorento reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Sorento is described as carrying over with no significant changes after a substantial refresh, which usually helps reduce the risk of surprise issues from a major redesign year. The expert review also points to a great warranty, which adds confidence for used buyers who want extra coverage and peace of mind.

The turbo-gas version is presented as a familiar, well-sorted package rather than a first-year experiment, which is a good sign for durability-minded shoppers. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about novelty and more about choosing a well-kept example with the right equipment and condition.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Kia Sorento?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 94.6% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and verify that the specific example you’re considering has not had hidden body or structural repairs. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the third row, cargo area, and cabin materials, since those are the areas where the Sorento’s compromises are most likely to show up in daily use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The gas-only lineup includes LX, S, EX, SX, and SX Prestige. The LX and S use the less powerful engine, while the higher trims upgrade to the turbocharged engine and add more upscale equipment. The X-Line appearance package adds blacked-out exterior trim and detailing, and the X-Pro SX Prestige brings exclusive bumper covers, enhanced roof rails, matte-black wheels, and all-terrain tires.
• Powertrain: LX and S use a 191-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an eight-speed automatic and up to 26 mpg in combined driving. Other gas Sorentos use a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic and rated at 23 mpg in combined driving.
• Safety package: Highway Driving Assist is standard on all 2025 Sorento models except the LX. SX and SX Prestige add more advanced collision-avoidance features, evasive steering assist, a camera-based Blind-Spot View Monitor, the surround-view camera system, and Highway Driving Assist 2 with lane-changing functionality.
• Infotainment: SX and SX Prestige pair a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Every 2025 Sorento has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Kia Connect is complimentary for three years.
• Fuel efficiency: The base engine returns up to 26 mpg in combined driving, while the turbocharged engine is rated at 23 mpg in combined driving. During evaluation, the turbo version averaged 23.4 mpg.

Which 2025 Kia Sorento trim should I buy?

The 2025 Kia Sorento is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, S, EX, SX, SX Prestige.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point if you want the Sorento’s size and third row at the lowest cost, but it uses the less powerful engine and skips Highway Driving Assist. It makes sense if you care most about value and can live without the turbo engine and extra tech.
• S: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it keeps the lower-priced engine setup while adding more everyday equipment than the LX. Choose it if you want a budget-friendly Sorento without jumping into the pricier turbo trims.
• EX: This is the first trim that moves you into the turbocharged engine, so it’s the better pick if you want stronger acceleration and a more satisfying drive. It also can be paired with the X-Line appearance package if you want a tougher look.
• SX: This trim adds more upscale tech and safety content, including the larger digital display setup and more advanced driver-assistance features. It’s a strong choice if you want a more premium feel without going all the way to the top.
• SX Prestige: This is the most fully equipped mainstream gas trim and the one to buy if you want the Sorento at its most luxurious. It comes standard with the X-Line package and adds the richest mix of comfort, tech, and safety features.

The safety-package upgrades are concentrated in the SX and SX Prestige, so those trims are the ones to target if advanced driver assistance matters most to you.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Kia Sorento?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile deals.

• Deal availability: 30.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,239 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.14% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 94.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $32,466.42, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Kia Sorento's resale value?

The current average of $32,460 sits slightly below last year's $35,336.

That price movement suggests the Sorento has already given back some value, which can be good news if you’re buying now but less ideal if you’re planning to sell soon. A softer market often means future resale gains may be more gradual unless demand strengthens.

For a seller, the upside is that the Sorento still has broad family appeal, especially because it offers a useful third row in a more manageable size than many rivals. Well-equipped examples with strong condition and desirable features should hold buyer interest better than stripped-down or heavily worn ones.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2025 Kia Sorento safe?

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the 2025 Sorento earns five-star overall ratings and four-star ratings in frontal impact and rollover resistance evaluations.

It earns a 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Kia’s Highway Driving Assist is standard on all 2025 Sorento models except the LX, and SX and SX Prestige add Highway Driving Assist 2 with lane-changing functionality. Those higher trims also get more advanced collision-avoidance features, evasive steering assist, a camera-based Blind-Spot View Monitor, and the surround-view camera system.

There is a caveat to keep in mind: the Sorento may lose its IIHS Top Safety Pick rating in 2025, so you should pay close attention to the exact trim and safety equipment on any used example you consider.

Should I buy a 2025 Kia Sorento or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 30.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 94.6% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.14% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It carries over after a substantial refresh and keeps the turbo-gas setup, strong tech, and family-friendly packaging.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $29,639, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $32,460 average.
• It brought major infotainment and safety updates plus a new X-Pro trim.

The bottom line: If you want the newer market position and are shopping for the turbo-gas Sorento with current-year inventory, the 2025 is the cleaner choice. If your priority is saving money, the 2024 is the smarter value play because it delivers much of the same core appeal for less.
