How much does the 2023 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 5.29% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,562 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2023 Kia Sorento a good car?

The 2023 Kia Sorento is a balanced choice if you want a three-row SUV that emphasizes space, style, and a more upscale cabin. It earned a user rating of 3.67/5, and its appeal is strongest if you want a practical family SUV with adult-friendly room, a polished interior, and a broad mix of comfort and safety features.

The Sorento’s use case is especially compelling if you want a well-equipped midsize SUV without having to move far up the trim ladder. It also stands out for offering a practical three-row layout and available second-row captain’s chairs starting with the EX trim.

36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so you still have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 Kia Sorento reliable?

The 2023 Kia Sorento is presented as a family SUV with a comprehensive suite of standard safety features and a strong mix of comfort and practicality. It also adds the blind-spot monitor and rear automatic braking to the base LX, which strengthens its everyday appeal.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the vehicle has been maintained well enough to preserve that upscale-feeling cabin and broad feature set.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Kia Sorento?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should prioritize a history report first, then focus on a thorough inspection of the body, interior, and electronics. Pay close attention to condition details that matter on a family SUV, especially signs of prior damage, wear from heavy use, and whether the features you want are working properly.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Kia Sorento?

This is a moderate buyer’s market, so you can be selective without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,562 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.29% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 88.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,091, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Kia Sorento's resale value?

The current average of $27,433 sits slightly below last year's $28,965.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled enough to give you better entry pricing today than a year ago. If you buy carefully and keep the vehicle in strong condition, you should have a reasonable path to future resale value. The key is to avoid overpaying now, since the current trend shows the market has already moved down.

Should I buy a 2023 Kia Sorento or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.29% compared with last year.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $23,672, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $27,433 average.
• It offers a fresh redesign with broad everyday appeal.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $29,322, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $27,433 average.
• It adds updated tech and a more upscale feel.

The bottom line: The 2023 is the best all-around pick if you want a well-equipped three-row SUV at a softer price than the newer model year. If your priority is saving money, the 2022 is the better value path; if you want newer updates and can stretch your budget, the 2024 is the upgrade route to consider.
