The Kia Sorento's current nationwide average price is $21,506, and its lowest point over the past year was $19,560. 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?

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

The main trade-offs in recent expert reviews center on the interior materials, the third row, and cargo space, along with some lower-trim equipment choices. Even so, the Sorento remains a compelling used SUV if you want a well-rounded package with broad appeal.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is best managed by choosing a well-kept example with a clean history and a strong maintenance record.

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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 78.8% — 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:

• Safety package: Highway Driving Assist is standard on all 2025 Sorento models except for the LX, and SX and SX Prestige add lane-changing functionality to create a Highway Driving Assist 2 system.
• Infotainment: the Sorento’s standard 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• 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. The turbo four is a far more satisfying engine, and the official EPA gas mileage rating is 23 mpg in combined driving.

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 transmission, and it suits budget-focused buyers who want the Sorento’s core size and utility.
• S: This trim keeps the same engine and transmission setup as LX while adding a step up in equipment for shoppers who want a little more content.
• EX: This trim moves to the turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder and can be paired with the X-Line appearance package.
• SX: This trim also gets the turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder and can be paired with the X-Line appearance package.
• SX Prestige: This trim adds the turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder, comes standard with the X-Line appearance package, and brings a more upscale feel with the broader feature set described in the expert review.
• 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 improved towing capacity to 4,500 pounds.

What Kia Sorento do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you a strong mix of availability, newer features, and pricing that still sits below the newest model years. They also make it easier to compare multiple listings and find the right combination of equipment and condition.

What is the Kia Sorento's resale value?

The Sorento’s year-over-year prices are down across every model year shown, which is good news if you’re shopping used. The biggest drops are concentrated in several older and mid-cycle years, while a few newer years are falling more slowly. That creates a broad set of opportunities for buyers who want to stretch their budget further.

The 2023, 2018, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Highway Driving Assist is standard on all 2025 Sorento models except for the LX, and SX and SX Prestige add lane-changing functionality to create Highway Driving Assist 2.

For the safest used buy, the 2017 and 2019 models both post the highest confirmed score of 10/10.

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

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −8.17% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −8.03%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 36.3% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 37.2%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2023 model has the most listings at a current average price of $27,433. The Kia Sorento offers a roomy, family-friendly cabin with a smooth, easygoing character that makes it a practical everyday SUV.

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 turbo four generates 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque.
• Tech: every 2025 Sorento has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the system also includes Digital Key technology and a digital rearview mirror.
• Safety: Highway Driving Assist 2 adds lane-changing functionality to the Sorento SX and SX Prestige, building on the standard Highway Driving Assist system.
• Starting price: the base Sorento LX starts at less than $35,000.

If you're buying used today, the 2023 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.
