That puts the model in a broad price band that stretches from older, budget-friendly examples to much newer, higher-priced versions. 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 space, value, and a wide range of trims and powertrains. The all-generations owner rating is 4.55/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise the Sorento for its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and family-friendly usefulness. They also highlight its smooth driving feel, good fuel economy, and broad feature content, especially in newer or better-equipped versions.

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

The main trade-offs show up in the third row, cargo room, and interior materials on some recent versions, while the base engine can feel modest for the vehicle’s size. Even so, the Sorento’s mix of practicality, comfort, and equipment makes it an appealing used buy for many shoppers.

28.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Kia Sorento models reliable?

Owners consistently praise the Sorento for its smooth ride, comfort, and everyday usability, and the strongest reviews also point to solid value and family-friendly practicality.

  • Owners rate the Kia Sorento between 2.0 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is best managed by focusing on well-maintained examples with clean history reports and by paying close attention to model-year condition and equipment level.
