Is the 2020 Kia Soul a good car?

Yes — the 2020 Kia Soul earns a 4.67/5 user rating and an 8.5/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Form and function at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise the spacious interior, fun driving experience, stylish design, and modern features. The Soul also gets credit for being a strong value for the price, with gas mileage adding to its appeal.

The trade-offs are that performance is fairly pedestrian and some drivers wish for more power from the engine. The overview also points to comfort issues such as the driver’s seat not tilting.

Is the 2020 Kia Soul reliable?

Owners rate it 4.67/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with buyers especially appreciating the Soul’s practical nature and the confidence that comes from its strong value proposition. The expert assessment also describes it as a useful hatchback that delivers the driving dynamics and efficiency of a compact car with the cargo space and driving position of a small SUV.

If you’re shopping used, the main long-term ownership risk is that you should still verify maintenance history and overall condition carefully, especially on higher-mileage examples.

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 does include a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats, and body-colour heated side mirrors. The EX adds alloy wheels, a heated steering wheel, and more driver-assistance features, while higher trims add larger screens and more comfort and convenience equipment.
• Powertrain: Most trims use a 2-litre, 4-cylinder engine with 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, paired with a CVT. The transmission is tuned to manage the engine’s output well, and the car feels refined and relatively quiet under acceleration.
• Safety package: The EX adds forward-collision warning and avoidance, lane-keep assist, lane departure warning, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-path detection. The range-topping 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 screen, while higher trims get a 10.25-inch display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and the larger screen is a major upgrade if your budget allows.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2-litre engine and CVT return 8.6 L/100 km in the city, 7.1 on the highway, and 7.9 combined. In mixed driving, the observed figure was 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 already gives you a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats, and body-colour heated side mirrors. It’s the right pick if you want the Soul’s space and style at the lowest price, but the feature set is sparse otherwise.
• 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 monitoring, rear cross-path detection, lane-change assist, and forward-collision warning and avoidance. If you want the sweet spot between price and equipment, this is the one to target.
• EX+: This trim builds on the EX with 17-inch alloy wheels, LED lighting, and cloth and synthetic leather seats. It makes sense if you want a nicer look and feel without jumping all the way to the upper trims.
• EX Premium: This trim adds 18-inch wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, push-button start, and the larger 10.25-inch infotainment system with SiriusXM satellite radio. It suits you if tech and comfort matter more than keeping the budget tight.
• EX Limited: This is the most upscale 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’s the best choice if you want the most comfort and safety content.
• GT-Line Premium: This trim adds sport bumpers and side sill accents, roof rails, and a sport steering wheel on top of the EX Premium equipment. Choose it if you want a more aggressive look without moving to the top trim.
• GT-Line Limited: This is the top trim and adds the GT-Line appearance upgrades on top of the EX Limited equipment. It’s the right pick if you want the most fully loaded Soul with the sportiest styling.

The safety-package trim note is simple: the EX is where the useful driver-assistance features start, while the EX Limited and GT-Line Limited bring the most advanced safety equipment.

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 patiently and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 191 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 17.82% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $14,850 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 $14,850 CAD sits slightly below last year's $18,070 CAD.

That softer pricing means future sellers may face more competition if the market stays well supplied. If you buy now, you’re entering at a lower price point than a year ago, which can help reduce depreciation pressure over your ownership period.

The Soul’s broad appeal should still support demand, especially because shoppers value its space, style, and easy-to-use technology. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.67/5, 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 overall 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 forward-collision warning and avoidance, lane-keep assist, lane departure warning, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-path detection. The range-topping EX Limited and GT-Line Limited add adaptive cruise control, a head-up display, and pedestrian detection for the forward-collision warning and avoidance system.

A key caveat is that advanced safety features are not standard, so you need to move up from the base trim to get the more useful driver-assistance tech.

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:

• 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 17.82% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.67/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2020 stands out for its refined driving dynamics, lower starting price than most competitors, and form-and-function packaging that makes it especially useful.

The bottom line: If you want the Soul’s distinctive shape, roomy cabin, and strong value, the 2020 is the one to focus on. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you can still shop carefully and look for a well-priced example, but the 2020’s combination of lower prices and broad appeal makes it the primary year to target.
