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 6 used Sorentos across the Kingdom.
How much does a used Kia Sorento cost in Saudi Arabia?
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 25500 for an early-2020s car to SAR 98000 for a current-year one.
Which used Kia Sorento year should you buy?
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.
Is a used Kia Sorento reliable in Saudi Arabia?
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.
Does the Kia Sorento hold its value in Saudi Arabia?
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.
Kia Sorento or Kia Sportage?
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.
What to check on a used Kia Sorento
- Tyre dates and matching — price a full set into any high-mileage car.
- Interior condition, third row and boot floor included.
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.
