Is this used Kia Sorento Hybrid a fair price?

Enter the year, kilometres and asking price to see where it sits against typical prices.

How well equipped is it?

Tip: the ad usually lists the features. More extras than most ads for the same year means fully loaded.

An estimate, not a valuation. Why

It compares the asking price with typical November 2026 prices for that year (carsales/RedBook and Glass's Guide). Condition, options, service history, battery health and where you live all move the price. For a formal valuation use RedBook or a dealer, and always do a PPSR check for finance owing or a written-off history.

Battery and warranty

Hybrid battery: 7 yrs / 150,000 km (Kia high-voltage component warranty; check current terms). Hybrid batteries are small and usually last the life of the car, but ask whether the hybrid system has had any warnings, and check the service history. A Toyota hybrid battery costs about $2,500–$3,500 fitted: battery replacement costs.
