Key things to evaluate:

• Fuel efficiency: The 2025 Sorento LX returns an estimated 9.4 litres per 100 kilometres in combined driving, while the turbo four is rated at 10.3 L/100 km combined and averaged 10.0 L/100 km during evaluation.

Which Kia Sorento trim should I buy?

The 2025 Kia Sorento offers these trims:

• LX: The entry trim uses the 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine and is the value-focused choice if you want the Sorento nameplate at the lowest price.
• EX: This trim steps up to the turbocharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder and adds a stronger overall powertrain for everyday driving.
• X-Line: This version adds a more rugged appearance, panoramic sunroof, and Highway Driving Assist, making it a smart pick if you want more equipment without going all the way to the top.
• X-Line Limited: This trim adds a larger 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, a more advanced Highway Driving Assist 2 setup, and more active safety technology.
• X-Pro: The top trim adds exclusive bumper covers, enhanced utility roof rails, matte-black 17-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, improved towing capacity, and the most premium-feeling cabin presentation.

What Kia Sorento do most buyers choose?

The Kia Sorento years with the most listings are 2020, 2019, and 2018.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they offer a strong mix of availability, value, and familiar equipment. When more listings are on the market, you also get more chances to compare condition, mileage, and pricing.

What is the Kia Sorento's resale value?

Most Sorento model years are down by double digits year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want stronger value. The steepest drops are concentrated across several older and newer years alike, while a few years have fallen less sharply. That creates a broad spread of pricing opportunities depending on how new you want to go.

The 2015, 2021, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Kia Sorento safe?

• 2025: 8/10
• 2024: 9/10
• 2022: 9/10

Highway Driving Assist is standard on X-Line, and with X-Line Limited and X-Pro trim, it adds lane-changing functionality to create a Highway Driving Assist 2 system.

For the safest used buy, the 2022 and 2024 models both post the highest confirmed score of 9/10.

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

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −16.51% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −14.65%.
• Deal availability: The 2024 model has 33.2% good and great deals.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2020 model has the most listings at a current average price of $18,503 CAD. The Kia Sorento offers a spacious, family-friendly cabin that makes it easy to live with day to day.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Kia equips the Sorento LX with an underwhelming 191-horsepower, 2.5-litre 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 available infotainment system adds Digital Key technology and a digital rearview mirror.
• Safety: The X-Line Limited and X-Pro add numerous active collision avoidance features, a camera-based Blind-Spot View Monitor, and the surround-view camera system.
• Starting price: The base Sorento LX starts at less than $40,000.

If you're buying used today, the 2020 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.
