Kia's seven-seat family SUV is bought in Saudi Arabia to cover long distances with a full car, which is why the ones reaching the used market carry serious mileage. We list 4 used Sorentos across the Kingdom.
What to check on a used Kia Sorento
On a Sorento the CarSwitch inspection report earns its keep in the tyre and interior sections — both are fixable, and both are money you can still argue about.
Around SAR 73,000 buys a 2021 Kia Sorento in our closed Saudi sales, SAR 42,000 a 2020 and SAR 34,000 a 2018. Live asking prices run from SAR 23,000 for an early-2020s car to SAR 138,000 for a current-year one.
Nothing structural, but expect a hard-worked interior: 27% of the Kia Sorentos we inspect in the Kingdom show interior staining against the 19% we would expect for SUVs of the same age and mileage here, and 12% arrive with mismatched or damaged tyres against 6% expected for that same group. At a typical 191,000 km those are family-car wear items and the cheapest things on the car to put right, so treat both as negotiating points.
The Kia Sportage is the better financial decision at 61% retained, and worth taking unless you genuinely need the third row. The Hyundai Santa Fe is the closest match on size and money but shows mechanical faults at 33% against a 26% expectation for its class.
2021 or newer. That is when the current Sorento arrived on a new platform, longer in the wheelbase with a third row that fits adults and a far better interior. The 2016 to 2020 car is the previous design and priced well below it — a reasonable buy if you need the seats and the boot rather than the refinement.
Less well than its own showroom neighbours — about 49% of its value after five years, against roughly 52% for Saudi mid-size SUVs and 55% across Kia's Saudi range.
