What Kia Sorento do most buyers choose?

The Kia Sorento years with the most listings are 2023, 2024, and 2022.

What is the Kia Sorento's resale value?

Most Sorento model years are down year over year, which creates opportunities for used buyers. The steepest drops are concentrated in older and mid-cycle years, while the newest recent models are falling more gradually.
