How much does the 2025 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 6.62% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,377 listings available, which suggests you have a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2025 Kia Sorento a good car?

Yes — the 2025 Kia Sorento earns a 5/5 user rating and an 8.3/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Performance and Cost effectiveness.

It stands out as a “right-sized” SUV: larger than a typical compact but smaller than many three-row midsize SUVs. That makes it a practical fit if you want an occasional-use third row without stepping up to a bigger family hauler. The turbo-gas version also brings a powerful engine and impressive technology, while the overall package is backed by a great warranty.

The trade-offs are clear: the interior materials feel cheap, the third row is cramped, and cargo space is limited. Even so, if you want a family-oriented SUV with a broad feature set and a manageable footprint, the Sorento makes a strong case.

37.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals, 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 2025 Sorento is described as a family-friendly SUV with a long warranty and a powertrain lineup that includes a turbocharged gasoline setup in this version. Its turbo engine is presented as the more satisfying choice, and the model’s daily-driving manners are described as easy to live with. Kia also highlights its generous warranty coverage and three-year Kia Connect subscription plan as ownership perks.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a well-equipped example can still be compromised by the Sorento’s cramped third row and limited cargo space if your needs grow over time.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.9% — 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 more heavily optioned trim. Focus on cabin condition, because the interior materials are described as a mixed bag, and make sure the third row and cargo area fit your real-world needs.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The gas-only lineup includes LX, S, EX, SX, and SX Prestige. The LX is the most basic version, while the higher trims add more upscale equipment, and the SX Prestige brings a more luxury-like presentation with features such as a panoramic display and leather seating. The X-Line appearance package adds blacked-out exterior trim and detailing, while the X-Pro SX Prestige adds exclusive bumper covers, enhanced utility roof rails, unique matte-black wheels, and all-terrain tires.
• 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. The other gas trims 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.
• 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, and the surround-view camera system. Those trims also add lane-changing functionality for Highway Driving Assist 2.
• 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 adds voice recognition, 911 Connect, find-my-car functionality, remote access, and safe driver settings.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbocharged engine returns 23 mpg in combined driving, and the base 2.5-liter engine can return up to 26 mpg in combined driving.

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 if you want the lowest-cost way into the Sorento, but it is also the most stripped-down version and lacks Highway Driving Assist.
• S: This trim keeps the lower-cost approach while adding the same 191-horsepower engine and more everyday usability than the LX, making it the value-minded choice if you do not need the turbo engine.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it moves you into the turbocharged 2.5-liter engine and opens the door to the X-Line appearance package.
• SX: This trim adds more upscale equipment and can also be paired with the X-Line package, making it a good step up if you want more tech and a more premium feel.
• SX Prestige: This is the most luxurious gas trim, with the most upscale cabin presentation and standard X-Line treatment, so it suits you best if you want the richest Sorento experience.

Highway Driving Assist is standard on all 2025 Sorento models except the LX, and SX and SX Prestige add the most advanced safety and driver-assistance content.

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

This is a moderate, selective-buyer market, so you can shop with some leverage if you know what you want.

• Deal availability: 37.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,377 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.62% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 92.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $31,354, 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 $31,354 sits slightly below last year's $33,576.

That price movement suggests the Sorento has softened enough to create a more buyer-friendly entry point today. For a future seller, that can mean less immediate upside if you buy at the wrong price, but it also means you may be entering the market after some of the depreciation has already been absorbed.

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 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 noted as valid only for the 2024 calendar year.

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

Kia equips the Sorento with plenty of standard safety features, and higher trims add more advanced technology. SX and SX Prestige bring numerous active collision avoidance features, evasive steering assist, a camera-based Blind-Spot View Monitor, and the surround-view camera system. Highway Driving Assist is standard on all trims except the LX, and SX and SX Prestige upgrade it to Highway Driving Assist 2 with lane-changing functionality.

The caveat is that the Sorento may lose its IIHS Top Safety Pick status in 2025, so you should weigh that uncertainty if safety credentials are a top priority.

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:

• 37.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.9% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.62% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2025 model keeps the refreshed look, updated tech, and the possibility of losing its IIHS Top Safety Pick status in view.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $28,637, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $31,354 average.
• It offers a value-packed family SUV with a useful blend of practicality and affordability.

The bottom line: If you want the current-year Sorento with softened pricing, strong inventory, and the latest version of its refreshed setup, the 2025 is the better target. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2024 is the smarter value play because it delivers much of the same core appeal for less money.
