How much does the 2024 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 8.03% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,517 listings available, which suggests you have a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 Kia Sorento a good car?

The 2024 Kia Sorento earns an 8.67/10 expert rating.

The model scores 9/10 across Form and function, Cost effectiveness, Technology, and Safety.

It fits you well if you want a value-packed, family-friendly midsize SUV that stays smaller and cheaper than many three-row rivals while still giving you a standard third row. The 2024 update also brings a visual refresh, easier-to-use tech, and more standard safety equipment, which helps the Sorento feel more upscale than before.

The trade-offs are clear: the base engine is underwhelming, the third row is cramped, and the top trims get expensive quickly.

With 37.2% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Kia Sorento reliable?

The 2024 Sorento’s appeal starts with its broad value proposition: you get a practical three-row layout, a solidly assembled cabin, and a refresh that improves the way the vehicle looks and feels. The expert review also describes the gas-powered version as a classic in-betweener, which matters because you’re getting a smaller, more manageable SUV without giving up the extra seating that many shoppers need.

Its mechanical story is mixed. The base 2.5-liter engine is described as overmatched by the Sorento’s heft, while the turbocharged version feels much more lively and better suited to the vehicle. That means long-term satisfaction is likely to depend heavily on which powertrain you choose.

The updated infotainment system is presented as easier to use and more future-proof, and the standard safety suite is extensive. For used buyers, the main ownership risk is ending up with a lower-trim version that feels strained in daily driving.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Kia Sorento?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and verify that the specific example you’re considering has no unresolved collision or title issues. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important if you’re shopping higher-mileage examples or any trim with the turbocharged powertrain. Focus on cabin condition, electronics operation, and whether the vehicle’s equipment matches the trim level you expect.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX, S, EX, SX, and SX-Prestige are the core trims, and the X-Line package now appears only on EX and higher models. Base versions miss some of the richer cabin touches and higher-end display setups, while the X-Line and X-Pro bring a more aggressive look and added capability.
• Powertrain: The LX and S use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque, while EX and higher trims use a turbocharged 2.5-liter with 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. The base engine is described as underwhelming, while the turbo feels much more responsive.
• Safety package: Kia’s Drivewise suite includes adaptive cruise control with stop and go, forward automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, intersection assistance, lane-following and lane-keeping assist, rear cross-traffic alert with emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and safe exit warnings. Higher-level systems add navigation-based adaptive cruise control, Highway Driving Assist, and Highway Driving Assist 2 on the SX-Prestige.
• Infotainment: All models use a 12.3-inch screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and the system can receive over-the-air updates. SX and SX-Prestige models add a second 12.3-inch digital display.
• Fuel efficiency: Non-turbo powertrains earn 25 or 26 mpg combined, while turbocharged models earn 23 mpg combined.

Which 2024 Kia Sorento trim should I buy?

The 2024 Kia Sorento is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, S, EX, SX, and SX-Prestige.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the cheapest way into the Sorento, but it comes with the base 2.5-liter engine, which the review says is underwhelming. It makes sense only if your priority is the lowest entry price and you’re comfortable giving up stronger performance.
• S: This trim still uses the base engine, but it adds a little more flexibility because all-wheel drive is available. It’s the better pick than the LX if you want a more usable daily driver without jumping to the turbo engine.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it unlocks the turbocharged 2.5-liter engine and a much stronger overall driving experience. It also opens the door to the X-Line setup, which adds extra ground clearance and a more rugged look.
• SX: This trim builds on the EX with more upscale equipment and also offers the X-Line setup. If you want a richer feel and stronger feature content without going all the way to the top, this is the sweet spot.
• SX-Prestige: This is the luxury-leaning choice, with the nicest interior and the most available tech. It’s the trim to choose if you want the most polished Sorento experience and don’t mind paying for it.

The safety package is broad across the lineup, but the highest-level driver-assistance features are reserved for upper trims.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Kia Sorento?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without feeling rushed.

• Deal availability: 37.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,517 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.03% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,744, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Kia Sorento's resale value?

The current average of $29,322 sits slightly below last year's $31,884.

That decline suggests the Sorento is currently in a softer pricing phase, which can help you as a buyer today. For a future seller, it means you should expect resale values to reflect the model’s recent price easing rather than a strong upward trend.

If you buy well and keep the vehicle in good condition, the Sorento’s broad appeal should still help it hold interest in the used market. But the current trend also tells you that pricing discipline matters if you want to protect your value later.

Is the 2024 Kia Sorento safe?

The 2024 Kia Sorento has not yet been fully evaluated by IIHS or NHTSA, but it has earned Good ratings in IIHS small overlap, original moderate overlap front, and original side tests.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Kia’s Drivewise suite includes adaptive cruise control with stop and go, forward automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, intersection assistance, lane-following and lane-keeping assist, rear cross-traffic alert with emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and safe exit warnings. Higher trims add navigation-based adaptive cruise control, Highway Driving Assist, and Highway Driving Assist 2 on the SX-Prestige.

One caveat is that IIHS gave the LATCH system only an Acceptable rating because the lower anchors are too deep in the seat. That’s worth keeping in mind if you plan to install child seats often.

Should I buy a 2024 Kia Sorento or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 37.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.03% compared with last year.
• The 2024 update brings a visual glow-up, easier-to-use tech, and more standard safety features.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $32,020, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $29,322 average.
• It adds gasoline, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrain choices.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2024 is the smarter buy because it combines lower pricing with meaningful updates. If you’re price-sensitive and mainly want the strongest deal, the 2024 should be your first stop; if you want broader powertrain choice and don’t mind paying more, the 2025 is worth a look.
