How much does the 2025 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 8.44% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,308 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping.

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 is positioned as a family-friendly SUV that sits between a typical compact and many three-row midsize SUVs, so you get a “right-sized” package if you want occasional third-row use without moving up to a larger vehicle. The turbo-gas version is the focus here, and it brings a powerful engine, impressive technology, and a strong warranty.

The trade-offs are clear: the interior materials feel cheap, the third row is cramped, and cargo space is limited.

Good and great deals account for 34.6% of listings, which gives you 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’s appeal is reinforced by its strong warranty coverage and its practical, family-oriented mission. It is designed to be easy to live with day to day, especially if you only use the third row occasionally. The expert review also points to a powertrain that feels satisfying in normal driving and a package that balances size, tech, and value well.

The turbo engine is described as far more satisfying than the base setup, and the model’s long warranty coverage adds confidence for ownership. Kia also includes a three-year Kia Connect subscription plan, which adds useful connected features during the early years of ownership.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the cabin and cargo compromises may matter more as your needs grow.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 95% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report, prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, and pay close attention to interior condition, especially if you plan to use the third row often. It is also worth checking how the transmission feels in normal driving, since the turbo model uses a dual-clutch automatic that can feel unfamiliar if you are not used to it.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The core gas trims include LX, S, EX, SX, and SX Prestige. The LX and S use the less powerful engine, while the higher trims move to the turbocharged setup. The X-Line appearance package adds blacked-out exterior trim and detailing, and the X-Pro SX Prestige adds exclusive bumper covers, enhanced roof rails, unique wheels, and all-terrain tires. The base LX is the main feature gap to watch, since it sits lower in the lineup and misses some of the higher-end equipment found on upper trims.
• Powertrain: The LX and S use a 191-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an eight-speed automatic transmission and up to 26 mpg in combined driving. All 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 transmission. The turbo engine is the stronger choice if you want quicker acceleration.
• Safety package: Highway Driving Assist is standard on all 2025 Sorento models except the LX. SX and SX Prestige add numerous active collision avoidance features, evasive steering assist, a camera-based Blind-Spot View Monitor, the surround-view camera system, machine learning for adaptive cruise control, and Highway Driving Assist 2 with lane-changing functionality.
• Infotainment: The Sorento uses a 24-inch panoramic display setup, and 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 adds voice recognition, 911 Connect, remote access, and other connected features.
• 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. The turbo version in testing 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, and SX Prestige.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, and it makes the Sorento the most affordable way to get the model’s right-sized family-SUV packaging. It is best if you want the Sorento’s space and value story without paying for the turbo engine or higher-end tech.
• S: This trim keeps the lower-cost approach but adds a bit more equipment than the LX. It is the budget-conscious choice if you want to stay near the bottom of the lineup while avoiding the most stripped-down version.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it moves you into the turbocharged engine and opens the door to the X-Line appearance package. It gives you a stronger powertrain and more upscale presentation without jumping all the way to the top.
• SX: This trim adds more of the premium tech and safety content, including the larger digital display setup and more advanced driver-assistance features. It suits you if you want a more polished daily driver and are willing to pay for it.
• SX Prestige: This is the most upscale mainstream gas trim, and it comes standard with the X-Line treatment. It is the right pick if you want the richest feature set and the most luxury-like feel in the gas lineup.

The SX and SX Prestige trims add the most advanced safety and driver-assistance content, so they are the trims to target if those features matter most.

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 with some leverage if you are patient.

• Deal availability: 34.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,308 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.44% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 95.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $32,048, 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 $32,048 sits slightly below last year's $35,003.

That price movement suggests the Sorento has already given up some value, which can be good news if you are buying now and less ideal if you are planning to sell soon. A softer market can also mean future resale gains may be more limited unless demand strengthens.

For a future seller, the key is to buy well and keep the vehicle in strong condition so you are not compounding depreciation with avoidable wear. The Sorento’s broad family appeal and strong feature content should help it remain attractive to used shoppers.

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?

The 2025 Kia Sorento earns five-star overall ratings from NHTSA, with four-star ratings in frontal impact and rollover resistance evaluations. It also earns a Top Safety Pick rating from IIHS, though that accolade is tied to the 2024 calendar year.

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

Kia includes plenty of standard safety features, and Highway Driving Assist is standard on all 2025 Sorento models except the LX. SX and SX Prestige add more advanced collision-avoidance technology, evasive steering assist, a camera-based Blind-Spot View Monitor, the surround-view camera system, machine learning for adaptive cruise control, and Highway Driving Assist 2 with lane-changing functionality.

The main caveat is that the IIHS badge may not carry forward for 2025, so you should pay attention to the latest crash-test context when comparing it with rivals.

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:

• 34.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 95% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.44% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the right-sized family-SUV formula, with broad powertrain choice and strong tech.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $29,433, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $32,048 average.
• It adds a visual glow-up, major infotainment and safety updates, and a new X-Pro trim.

The bottom line: If you want the newer model-year pricing context and the same basic package, the 2025 is the cleaner choice. If your priority is saving money, the 2024 is the smarter path because it delivers much of the same appeal for less.
