Is the Kia Soul a good car?
Yes — the Kia Soul is a strong used-car pick if you want personality, space, and value in one package. The all-generations owner rating is 4.6/5 across every model year in the data.
Owners consistently praise the Soul for its spacious interior, distinctive design, and comfortable ride. Value for money is another recurring theme, with many shoppers appreciating how much everyday usefulness the Soul delivers for the price.
Expert reviews also point to a well-rounded small-car character, with a roomy cabin and a practical layout that make it easy to live with. The trade-offs are fairly pedestrian performance, uncomfortable seats, and advanced safety features that are not standard.
28.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
Are Kia Soul models reliable?
Owners across the model years consistently praise the Soul for its roomy cabin, comfortable ride, and strong value. Expert coverage also highlights its practical packaging and easy-to-live-with character, which help it feel like a sensible used buy.
- Owners rate the Kia Soul between 3.9 and 5 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.
For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is best managed by checking recall completion and service history carefully, especially on later model years with engine-related concerns.
What should I look for when buying a used Kia Soul?
Key things to evaluate:
- Safety package: forward collision avoidance assist, automatic emergency braking, lane follow assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, navigation-based adaptive cruise control, and Highway Drive Assist on the 2023 GT-Line Limited
- Infotainment: 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on LX, EX, and EX+ trims; 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation on higher trims
Which Kia Soul trim should I buy?
The 2023 Kia Soul offers these trims:
- LX: The entry trim includes a digital instrument cluster and 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It suits you if you want the most affordable way into the Soul’s roomy, distinctive package.
- EX: This is the best-value trim because it adds the main driver-assist suite, including forward collision avoidance assist, automatic emergency braking, lane follow assist, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. It also brings a heated steering wheel.
- EX+: This trim adds the 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation, wireless phone charging, and dual-zone automatic climate control, making it a strong choice if you want more convenience and a more upscale feel.
- EX Premium: This trim adds dual-zone automatic climate control and sits above the EX+ in the line-up, giving you a more feature-rich cabin.
- GT-Line Limited: This top trim adds the sportiest appearance, a sunroof, leather seats, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a Harman Kardon premium audio system, navigation-based adaptive cruise control, and Highway Drive Assist.
What Kia Soul do most buyers choose?
The Kia Soul years with the most listings are 2019, 2020, and 2021.

What is the Kia Soul's resale value?

| 2019 | $12,489 CAD | −18.81% |
| 2020 | $15,138 CAD | −15.34% |

| 2014 | $8,391 CAD | −9.33% |
| 2022 | $19,659 CAD | −5.81% |
Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you are shopping used because it creates more room for value. The largest drops are in the double digits, so recent Soul models have become noticeably more affordable over the past year. A few years have declined less sharply, which suggests some trims and model years are holding closer to their recent pricing than others.
The 2022, 2014, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Possibly the worst car I have ever owned. Kia gave me PTSD, I really wouldn't recommend it, please do more research on recalls and engine problems, cause you might lose all of your money the moment you drive it out of the dealership.

Reviewed a 2019 Kia Soul on Aug 29, 2025
I purchased a Kia Soul and was told it had not been in an accident and was in good condition. Unfortunately, after purchasing, I discovered that was not the case at all. When I took it in for inspection, I found: The hood latch was damaged, suggesting it had likely been in an accident. The oil pan was damaged. The tires needed to be replaced. The brakes also needed replacement. Several other issues that were not disclosed. Because of all this, I now have to spend around $1,000 more on top of what I already paid for the car just to get it safe and roadworthy. This has been extremely frustrating and disappointing, especially since I trusted the seller’s word that the car was accident-free and in good shape. Pros: Kia Soul itself is roomy, comfortable, and economical. Cons: Vehicle condition was misrepresented. Significant repair costs not disclosed. Trust and transparency were lacking. Bottom line: If you are considering buying a used Kia Soul (or any used car), make sure you get a full inspection before purchase and don’t rely solely on what the seller tells you or a quick prepurchase inspection like I did. My experience was that I ended up with costly repairs and a car that was not what was promised.

Why it stands out
The 2017 Kia Soul stands out because it blends quirky styling with real everyday usefulness. Kia’s buying guide describes the Soul as a subcompact hatchback with a funky personality, and it also notes that the model helped shift Kia’s image towards a more appealing, value-conscious brand. For shoppers, that means the Soul is not just about looks: it is meant to be affordable, practical, and distinctive without being as extreme as some of the boxier small cars it is compared with.
For 2017, the Soul gained a 1.6-litre turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine with 201 hp and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission on the SX and SX Tech trims. Those trims also added larger front brakes, a D-shaped steering wheel, and xenon headlights, while blind-spot monitors with rear cross-traffic alert became available and driving modes were added to all trims. The same year also brought a power front passenger seat as a new option, and the Soul EV received a pedestrian warning sound, faster charging, new wheels, and other minor upgrades. That mix of extra performance and added equipment gives the 2017 model a more complete feel than the base car’s simple image might suggest.
At the same time, the Soul still has the practical strengths that made it popular in the first place. The guide points to lots of room inside, and owner feedback echoes that with praise for the spacious interior, comfortable ride, good fuel economy, and strong value. The main drawbacks are that some buyers wanted a better media interface and noted missing armrests, so the 2017 Soul is best seen as a characterful small car that delivers space and usefulness first, with enough available equipment to feel modern.
