What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Kia Sorento
| Price of the Kia Sorento: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Incentives are enticing 0% financing and very competitive lease options |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
For the price, you get a very well made car |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Very competitive pricing compared to like size and equipped vehicles. |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
I bought pre owned and I couldn't find another brand SUV with the same features for the same price. Definitely a fan of the low price. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 168hp 2.5L I4 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
Our year old range topping Sorento XT auto cost £17000. The eqivalent VW, Audi, Land Rover etc start at £30000+ for the base models. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
For a 4wd with pretty much every option and being a 07 left over paying $20K for it was a pretty sweet deal. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
Best price for what you get on the market today. EX model 4x4 for 25K. No other manufacturer can match it. |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic AWD w/low range |
Because of the relatively rapid depreciation, it is a great value as a used car. |
| Price of the Kia Sorento: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr SUV 191-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Not a terribly expensive vehicle, and a good value, but in comparison to the Dodge would be significantly more expensive to get anything close to the feature set the AVP Journey has |
