Used Kia Sorento for Sale nearWest Palm Beach, FL

How much does the Kia Sorento cost in today's market?

Used Kia Sorento prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Kia Sorento's current nationwide average price is $20,956, and its lowest point over the past year was $19,557. Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Kia Sorento a good car?

Yes — the Kia Sorento is a strong used SUV choice if you want a family-friendly model with broad appeal and a long-running reputation for style, space, and value. The all-generations owner rating is 4.6/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise the Sorento for its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and family-friendly features. Review summaries also point to good fuel economy, smooth road manners, and a stylish, practical character that works well for everyday use.

Expert reviews rate the 2017 and 2016 models among the highest across all years.

The main trade-offs that show up in recent expert reviews are the underwhelming base engine, the cramped third row, and the interior materials that feel cheap in some versions. Some years also bring limited cargo space and voice-recognition complaints, so the best used picks are the ones that balance equipment and price well.

34.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Kia Sorento models reliable?

Owners and experts consistently point to the Sorento’s comfort, practicality, and family-friendly packaging as its biggest strengths. Across the model years, reviews also highlight a smooth ride, useful features, and a generally appealing ownership experience.

• Owners rate the Kia Sorento between 2 and 5 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is best managed by checking service history carefully and focusing on well-kept examples, especially on older model years.

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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 76.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2021 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Fuel efficiency: Kia equips the Sorento LX and S with an underwhelming 191-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It is adequate and will return up to 26 mpg in combined driving. Anyone seeking speedier acceleration will want the turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder that’s standard in all other Sorentos. It generates 281 horsepower (+90) and 311 pound-feet of torque (+130), and the official EPA gas mileage rating is 23 mpg in combined driving.
• Infotainment: every 2025 Sorento has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Safety package: Highway Driving Assist is standard on all 2025 Sorento models except for the LX.

Which Kia Sorento trim should I buy?

The 2025 Kia Sorento offers these trims:

• LX: The entry trim uses the 191-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder and eight-speed automatic, making it the value-focused choice if you want the Sorento’s core size and family-friendly layout.
• S: This trim keeps the same base engine and adds to the lineup’s everyday appeal for shoppers who want a straightforward step up from LX.
• EX: This trim can add the X-Line appearance package, bringing blacked-out exterior trim and detailing.
• SX: This trim moves to the turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder and can also be paired with the X-Line appearance package.
• SX Prestige: This trim also gets the turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder, and the X-Line comes standard here.
• X-Pro SX Prestige: This top trim adds exclusive front and rear bumper covers, enhanced utility roof rails, unique matte-black 17-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, and an improvement in towing capacity to 4,500 pounds.

What Kia Sorento do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they offer a strong mix of newer features, broad availability, and pricing that still sits below the newest model year. They also give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right trim and condition.

What is the Kia Sorento's resale value?

Most Sorento model years are showing negative year-over-year movement, which is good news if you’re shopping used because it creates more room for value. The newer model years are also among the ones with the smallest declines, while older years show larger drops that can make them especially attractive on price.

The 2023, 2025, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Kia Sorento now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −6.62% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −7.48%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 37.1% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 36.8%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $28,637. The Kia Sorento offers a roomy, family-friendly cabin with a practical three-row layout and a broad range of features.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Kia equips the Sorento LX and S with an underwhelming 191-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder generates 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque.
• Tech: every 2025 Sorento has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the Sorento’s 24-inch panoramic display pairs with a larger 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and the Sorento’s standard 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
• Safety: Highway Driving Assist is standard on all 2025 Sorento models except for the LX, and with SX and SX Prestige trim, it adds lane-changing functionality to create a Highway Driving Assist 2 system.
• Starting price: The base Sorento LX starts at less than $35,000.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
