The expert review also describes the Soul as refined and relatively quiet under acceleration, which supports the impression of a dependable daily driver.

If you’re buying used, the main long-term ownership risk is less about outright complexity and more about making sure the specific vehicle has been maintained well and still feels as solid as its reputation suggests.

What should I look for when buying a used 2020 Kia Soul?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX is pretty basic, but it still gives you heated front seats, body-colour heated side mirrors, and a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The EX adds alloy wheels, a heated steering wheel, and a much broader set of driver-assistance features, while the EX Limited brings the most upscale equipment such as a head-up display, premium audio, leather seats, ventilated front seats, and heated outboard rear seats. The EX trim is the recommended value pick.
• Powertrain: Most trims use a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder engine with 147 horsepower and a CVT. The expert review says the CVT manages the engine well, with decent acceleration, solid pull at low and high speeds, and a refined, quiet feel.
• Safety package: Standard safety equipment includes front- and side-impact airbags, a reversing camera, traction control, hill-start assist, and a tire pressure monitoring system. The EX adds blind-spot warning, rear cross-path detection, lane-keep assist, lane departure warning, and forward-collision warning and avoidance. The EX Limited and GT-Line Limited add adaptive cruise control, a head-up display, and pedestrian detection.
• Infotainment: The LX, EX, and EX+ use a 7-inch touchscreen, while higher trims get a 10.25-inch screen. All trims include Kia’s UVO system, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, and the larger screen is described as a major upgrade.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.0-litre engine and CVT return fuel consumption of 8.6 L/100 km in the city, 7.1 L/100 km on the highway, and 7.9 L/100 km combined. In mixed driving, the expert review observed 8.0 L/100 km.

Which 2020 Kia Soul trim should I buy?

The 2020 Kia Soul is offered in 7 trim levels: LX, EX, EX+, EX Premium, EX Limited, GT-Line Premium, and GT-Line Limited.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the least expensive way into the Soul, and it gives you the core appeal of the model: a roomy cabin, heated front seats, a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and the boxy utility that makes the Soul stand out. It makes sense if you want the lowest entry price and can live without the extra driver-assistance features.
• EX: This is the best-value trim. It adds alloy wheels, a heated steering wheel, and a much more complete safety package with blind-spot warning, rear cross-path detection, lane-keep assist, lane departure warning, and forward-collision warning and avoidance. CarGurus recommends this trim because it balances equipment and price well.
• EX+: This trim adds 17-inch alloy wheels, LED lighting, and cloth-and-synthetic-leather seats. It suits you if you want a nicer look and feel without jumping all the way to the higher-end trims.
• EX Premium: This trim brings 18-inch wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, push-button start, and the larger 10.25-inch infotainment system with SiriusXM satellite radio. It’s a good fit if you want a more upscale daily driver and value the bigger screen.
• EX Limited: This is the most feature-rich non-sport trim, with rain-sensing wipers, advanced forward collision avoidance assist, a head-up display, Harman Kardon premium audio, adaptive cruise control, leather seats, an 8-way power driver’s seat, ventilated front seats, and heated outboard rear seats. It suits you if comfort and convenience matter most.
• GT-Line Premium: This trim builds on EX Premium with sport bumpers and side sill accents, roof rails, and a sport steering wheel. It’s the choice if you want a more aggressive look without changing the Soul’s practical character.
• GT-Line Limited: This trim adds the same sport-themed upgrades on top of the EX Limited equipment. It’s the top pick if you want the most content and the sportiest appearance.

The safety-package step up starts at the EX, so if advanced driver assistance matters to you, that’s the trim to target.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 Kia Soul?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some confidence but still compare carefully.

• Deal availability: 26.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 169 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.20% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $14,877 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2020 Kia Soul's resale value?

The current average of $15,157 CAD sits slightly below last year's $17,873 CAD.

That softer pricing means you may not see the same resale strength you would have seen a year ago, but it can also make the Soul easier to move if you price it competitively. For a future seller, the current trend suggests you should expect value to depend heavily on condition, trim, and equipment rather than on broad market momentum alone.

Because the Soul still has strong appeal as a practical, distinctive hatchback, well-kept examples should continue to attract shoppers who want utility without a generic look. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.7/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2020 Kia Soul safe?

The 2020 Kia Soul earns a Top Safety Pick rating from the IIHS and a four-star safety rating from NHTSA.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety features include front- and side-impact airbags, a reversing camera, traction control, hill-start assist, and a tire pressure monitoring system. The EX adds blind-spot warning, rear cross-path detection, lane-keep assist, lane departure warning, and forward-collision warning and avoidance, while the EX Limited and GT-Line Limited add adaptive cruise control, a head-up display, and pedestrian detection.

A key caveat is that advanced safety features are not standard, so if you want the fuller driver-assistance suite, you’ll need to move up from the base trim.

Should I buy a 2020 Kia Soul or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2020 if:

• 26.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.20% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2020 model stands out for its refined driving dynamics, lower starting price than most competitors, and form-and-function balance.

The bottom line: If you want the Soul’s distinctive design, roomy cabin, and strong value story, the 2020 is a solid place to focus your search. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you can still find appealing alternatives in nearby years, but the 2020’s combination of softened pricing and strong owner satisfaction makes it the cleaner buy for many shoppers.
