Kia Sorento keeps an estimated 58% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #246 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Kia Sorento retains an estimated 58% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #246 of 530 cars we track. That is roughly in line with the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Kia Sorento sheds about 4% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $32,390 it falls to around $18,850 by year five — a five-year loss near $13,540, about $7.42 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Kia Sorento bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.

From about $32,390 when new it drops to roughly $18,850 after five years — a loss near $13,540 (58% of its original MSRP retained).
Around 2 years old: that is just past the steepest depreciation, so you skip the biggest drop while the value curve is flattening.
