Kia Sorento Reliability Ratings

Even earlier model years of the Kia Sorento are reliable, according to J.D. Power, which rated the 2020 model 85 out of 100 for reliability and quality, and the 2023 model year 81! Read what more experts have to say:

  • “The Kia Sorento Reliability Rating is 4.0 out of 5.0, which ranks it 12th out of 26 for compact SUVs. The average annual repair cost is $533, which means it has lower than average ownership costs. Repairs are less severe and less frequent than the average car, so the Sorento is one of the more reliable vehicles on the road.” – RepairPal
  • “The Sorento is less expensive, which is certainly nice, and it’s easier to drive and park. We certainly recommend the Sorento if you want a not-too-big SUV that you can use most of the time as a five-passenger ride, with the option to occasionally flip up the third-row seats to fit seven people” – Edmunds

These results highlight that many Kia Sorento model years are reliable choices overall.
