2015 Kia Sorento EX V6 for Sale in Orlando — $7,900 | Next Gear

A 3.3-liter V6 with 290 horsepower, leather interior, sunroof, and all-weather capability — for less than eight thousand dollars. There's a reason this one won't sit long.

2015 Kia Sorento EX V6: What You Get for Under $8,000

The second-generation Sorento (refreshed in 2011) was Kia's answer to the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V — and in many ways it delivered, particularly on interior space and standard features per dollar.

This is the EX trim, 2015, V6 GDI 3.3-liter engine with 290 horsepower, automatic transmission, front-wheel drive. 150,398 miles on the odometer.

The EX trim came loaded from the factory: leather seating, panoramic sunroof, backup camera, navigation system, heated front seats, Bluetooth, and the sliding second row — a feature the 2015 Sorento offered that plenty of larger SUVs didn't.

Is the 2015 Kia Sorento EX Reliable? The V6 vs. 4-Cylinder Difference

An important note on the engine: the 3.3 V6 GDI in this generation Sorento has a different reliability profile than the troubled 2.4-liter GDI four-cylinder Kia/Hyundai produced from 2011 to 2014. The V6 was built with a cleaner injection calibration and doesn't carry those documented issues. When properly maintained, this motor goes the distance. If you've been researching 2015 Sorento reliability problems online, those complaints almost always refer to the 4-cylinder — not this V6.

What to Know About Cargo and Passenger Space

This is the standard EX five-passenger version, not the seven-seat third-row configuration. Second-row space is generous. With the rear seat folded, cargo capacity hits 38 cubic feet — plenty for a family run to Sam's Club or a weekend trip to Daytona.

Why This Sorento Makes Sense as a Daily Driver in Central Florida

For a family that needs a capable, comfortable SUV with a motor that won't leave them stranded — and at a price point under $8,000 — the 2015 Sorento EX is a straightforward win. FWD handles Florida roads perfectly year-round, and the Sorento's size fits anywhere from the I-4 to a parking garage in downtown Orlando. Families in the Kissimmee, Winter Garden, and Apopka areas have been consistent buyers of this generation Sorento for exactly these reasons.
