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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 78.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.

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 trim add lane-changing functionality to create a Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA 2) system.
• Infotainment: every 2025 Sorento has 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, and it suits budget-minded buyers who want the Sorento’s core size and utility.
• S: This trim keeps the same engine setup as LX and adds a step up in equipment for shoppers who want a little more content without moving far up the lineup.
• EX: This trim moves into the turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder and can be paired with the X-Line appearance package, making it a strong value choice for buyers who want more power and available style.
• SX: This trim adds the turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder and can also be paired with the X-Line appearance package, giving you a more upscale feel and more available features.
• SX Prestige: This trim adds the turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder, comes standard with the X-Line appearance package, and brings a more luxury-like presentation.
• 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 2023, 2024, and 2022.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they offer a strong mix of availability, pricing, and newer features. They also give you more listings 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 down year over year, which creates opportunities for used buyers looking for value. The newer years in the table are also easing from their prior pricing, while the smallest changes are concentrated among the years that have moved the least. That pattern points to a market where patience can pay off, especially if you are shopping recent model years.

The 2023, 2018, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
