How much does the 2014 Kia Sorento cost?

Prices have softened 11.61% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 585 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

If you find a listing below $7,888.74, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2014 Kia Sorento a good car?

Yes — the 2014 Kia Sorento earns a 4.55/5 user rating and a 7.33/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its reliability, smooth ride, spacious interior, and good safety features. The overview also points to a well-rounded family vehicle with style, performance, safety, and substance, which fits shoppers who want a practical crossover with a polished feel.

The market also shows 25.1% good or great deals, which suggests there are still worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2014 Kia Sorento reliable?

Owners rate it 4.55/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback repeatedly highlights reliability, and the review summary also points to a solid family vehicle with good value. On the road, the Sorento’s 6-speed automatic shifts smoothly, and the V6 delivers effortless merging and confident passing, which supports the sense that it’s built to be easy to live with over time.

Kia also backs the Sorento with a long warranty and the expert review notes competitive predicted reliability, which helps strengthen the case for ownership confidence. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that some examples may have had control malfunctions or other wear-related issues, so condition matters.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Kia Sorento?

At 60.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with family-hauling duty. Focus on signs of prior body damage, interior wear, and any electrical or control issues that owners have mentioned. If you need the third row, make sure it actually works for your passengers before you commit.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LX is the most stripped-down version, missing some of the nicer equipment found higher up the range. The EX V6 adds leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, push-button ignition, and Kia’s UVO infotainment system, while the SX adds a panoramic sunroof, navigation, a 10-speaker Infinity audio upgrade, blind-spot monitoring, a power liftgate, and heated or cooled front seats. The Limited adds HID headlights, premium leather, a heated steering wheel, and heated second-row seats.
• Powertrain: You get a 191-horsepower 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic, and there’s also a 290-horsepower V6 that brings stronger acceleration and more towing ability. The V6 is the better fit if you want easier highway passing or plan to tow.
• Safety package: All Sorentos include 6 airbags, front active headrests, 4-wheel antilock disc brakes, and electronic stability control. A rear-view camera is standard on all but LX trims, and blind-spot monitoring appears on higher trims.
• Infotainment: The Sorento’s UVO system uses an 8-inch touchscreen and supports smartphone-linked navigation, voice controls, vehicle diagnostics, destination uploads, and music management.
• Fuel efficiency: The front-drive 4-cylinder is rated at 20 mpg city/26 highway/22 combined. The front-drive V6 is rated at 18/25/21 mpg, and the AWD V6 test vehicle returned 24.2 mpg on a long highway run.

Which 2014 Kia Sorento trim should I buy?

The 2014 Kia Sorento is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, LX V6, EX V6, SX, and SX-L, or Limited.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, and it gives you the essentials without the extra comfort and tech features found higher up. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Sorento, but it is the most basic choice.
• LX V6: This trim adds the stronger V6 powertrain while staying closer to the lower end of the lineup. It’s the better pick if you want more muscle without jumping all the way to the feature-rich trims.
• EX V6: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a strong mix of comfort and convenience features, including leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, push-button ignition, and UVO.
• SX: This trim is for you if you want the most noticeable upgrade in equipment, including the panoramic sunroof, navigation, blind-spot monitoring, the power liftgate, and the upgraded audio system.
• SX-L, or Limited: This is the most luxurious version, with premium leather, HID headlights, a heated steering wheel, and heated second-row seats.

The safety package is strong across the lineup, but the rear-view camera is not standard on LX trims.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Kia Sorento?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 25.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 585 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.61% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 60.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $7,888.74, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Kia Sorento's resale value?

The current average of $7,926 sits slightly below last year's $8,967.

That price movement suggests the Sorento has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price. If you purchase near the lower end of the current range, you may reduce the amount of value left to lose over your ownership period.

The model’s strong owner satisfaction also helps support demand on the used market. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.55/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2014 Kia Sorento safe?

The 2014 Kia Sorento earns a Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and an overall five-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

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

Kia equips all Sorentos with 6 airbags, front active headrests, 4-wheel antilock disc brakes, and electronic stability control. A rear-view camera is standard on all but LX trims, and blind-spot monitoring is available on higher trims.

Should I buy a 2014 Kia Sorento or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 25.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 60.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.61% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.55/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2014 update brought a revised front end, a more powerful standard 4-cylinder, a new V6, and added available safety and convenience features.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $8,460, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $7,926 average.
• It adds a more polished overall package, but also brings weaker fuel economy and disappointing crash-test performance.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2014 is the smarter buy because it combines lower pricing, strong owner satisfaction, and a solid feature set. If you’re willing to spend more for a newer model year, the 2015 may appeal, but the 2014 is the more compelling choice for price-sensitive shoppers.
