What’s the best year for a used Kia Sorento?
I want to buy a used car for my daughter as a graduation gift, and we’re seriously considering a Kia Sorento. But what are the best years for a used Kia Sorento?
Mary Alice Morris · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Now in its 21st model year, the
Kia Sorento
has accrued many model years that are more highly recommended than others. It’s hard to pin down the very best year for a used Kia Sorento, but you can’t go wrong with a model from any of the following model years:- 2003
- 2005
- 2007 to 2010
- 2015
- 2017 to 2021
The remaining model years—2004, 2006, 2011 to 2014, and 2016—have more complaints and mechanical issues than the others. Among these issues include breaking parts, air conditioning failure, and crankshaft problems.
If you find a used Kia Sorento you want to buy, make sure you approach it with the same caution you would any used vehicle. Do your research on the vehicle’s history and ask questions before agreeing to a purchase.
Don’t forget to consider the costs of
car insurance
when comparing model years! More recent Sorento models will likely be more expensive than older models.View full answer
