2021 Kia Soul Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners love the 2021 Kia Soul for its unique design, comfortable interior, and practical features. Many appreciate its reliability and ease of entry, especially for those with mobility issues. However, some drivers mentioned the absence of specific features like remote tailgate operation and cruise control in certain models."
I am an 82 year old GM retiree who has had all the finest cars available through the years. My 2021 Soul is as good as any car Ive ever driven.
December 20, 2024Cars market value has depreciated but isnt reflecting at dealerships. Valuations are still being used that neglect the expected 2-year forecasted depreciation and aim to sell them at "year end" for <$20k. Do not buy this car now. It's an upside down investment right now.
October 7, 2025We already have a Kia Soul and love it, so when my daughter wanted a car she chose a Kia Soul. It drives well, caries up to 5 people and accommodates my 6 foot 7 inch frame . The car also holds a lot of cargo, great grocery getter.

April 3, 2024Im very happy with this car and its value for the money so far. It had 16,000 miles on it when I bought it. This is the S model, which offers a bit more than the LX. I like the blind spot monitor and lane assist, as well as the very comfortable power adjustable drivers seat. It handles really well and rides smoothly. Also important for me was the interior cargo room when back seats are down.
April 23, 2023Great vehicle, perfect for getting in and out of as I just had hip surgery. It is the perfect height and tons of headspace inside for tall people!!
February 23, 2022Terrific car. Both I and my wife love it. In the small SUV category, it is the only one that looks different.
July 8, 2021The soul I purchased has several upgrade features: 1 is remote engine start. Nice to have on cold snowy winter days or those very hot summer days. It is very easy to enter and exit for senior citizens that have deteriorating knees. The ride is firm but not rough typical SUV. Like the front wheel drive since it offers excellent traction on snow and ice covered roads. Would have been nice to have remote opening and closing tail gate or hatch but feel it was a very good value for the features that this one had. Bought extended warranty (electronic coverage) So more components are covered to 100000 Miles, bulk of drive train is covered to 200000 Miles or 20 years. This makes Kia number 4 for me, I drove the other 3 over 500000 combined miles with no mechanical breakdowns. If this proves to be as reliable, I will not need the warranty that I purchased. 3
July 10, 2021This car is awesome1. The only thing missing on my lx model is the cruise control. It was shown to have it but it did not.
December 18, 2021I love my Kia. I cant compare it to other cars as this is the first car I have purchased in 22 years. I am not a true car eficinado (sp) but so far I am loving my Kia Soul.
