CarGurus Analysis: 2015 Kia Soul
overall

Summary
With 72 currently listed for sale near Macon, GA and an average price of $8,575, 48.6% of 2015 Kia Souls for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2015 Kia Soul 4.36 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it an 8 / 10.
77.8% of 2015 Soul models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2015 Kia Soul stands out by turning a boxy, unconventional shape into something genuinely appealing rather than merely practical. It offers the kind of everyday usefulness most people need, along with a few surprise-and-delight touches that make it feel more special than its size and price might suggest. That combination of personality and value is a big part of its appeal, especially for buyers who want a small car that does not blend into the crowd.
At the same time, the 2015 Kia Soul is not presented as perfect. More power would be welcome, and additional trunk space would help, along with a couple of extra safety features. Even so, those shortcomings are framed as relatively minor against a car that is described as terrific, well equipped, and strong on technology, safety ratings, and quality. Owners also tend to praise its spacious interior, comfort, value for money, good fuel economy, and fun driving experience, which reinforces the Soul’s reputation as a practical choice with an unusually upbeat character.

Super smooth ride, responsive steering, seats great for back problems, large interior and cool edgy look! I purchased the 2015 Kia Soul + and so far the only down sides are rear passenger side blind spot, and not quick to accelerate. Best purchase Ive ever made! Truly an amazing car!

Is the 2015 Kia Soul a good car?
Generally — the 2015 Kia Soul earns a 4.36/5 user rating and an 8/10 expert rating, which points to broad appeal for shoppers who want a small car with personality and value. The model scores 9/10 across Cost effectiveness and Safety.
Owners repeatedly praise the spacious interior, comfort, value for money, good fuel economy, and fun driving experience. That lines up with the Soul’s use-case as an everyday, easy-to-live-with small car that still feels distinctive rather than anonymous.
With 29.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still offers some attractive opportunities if you shop carefully.
Is the 2015 Kia Soul reliable?
Owners rate it 4.36/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.
Owner feedback also points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with praise for the car’s long-term value and everyday usability. The expert notes reinforce that impression by describing it as dependable over time and inexpensive to own.
The cost-effectiveness notes also mention free UVO eServices and strong ownership-value support, which helps reduce the burden of day-to-day ownership. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure prior maintenance and condition are solid, since a neglected example can erase much of that value advantage.
What should I look for when buying a used 2015 Kia Soul?
At 56.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing price looks unusually strong. Focus on body condition, repair quality, and signs of past damage, since accident history can affect both reliability and resale value. It also makes sense to pay close attention to equipment differences, because some desirable features are not present on every version.
Key things to evaluate:
- Trim level: The loaded test vehicle included leather seats, a panoramic sunroof, an 8-inch touchscreen, navigation, an Infinity premium audio system, LED interior lighting, HID headlights, LED running lights, a heated steering wheel, heated front and rear seats, ventilated front seats, and Smart Key entry with push-button start. The base trim is much more stripped down, so feature gaps can be significant.
- Powertrain: The Soul uses a 164-hp, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The expert notes that more power would be welcome, even though the engine is lively enough for city driving.
- Safety package: The Soul includes 911 Connect through UVO eServices, plus Speed Alert, Curfew Alert, Geo Fence, and Driving Score features. A reversing camera is available, but blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert is not.
- Infotainment: The test vehicle’s infotainment setup centers on an 8-inch touchscreen with Kia UVO eServices, navigation, Siri Eyes Free, Google Local Search, and smartphone connectivity through USB, flash drive, Bluetooth audio, and Pandora Internet radio.
- Fuel efficiency: The expert recorded 24.6 mpg in combined driving, with EPA estimates of 23 mpg city and 31 mpg highway.
Which 2015 Kia Soul trim should I buy?
The 2015 Kia Soul is offered in 1 trim level: !.
Here's the short version:
The ! trim is the one explicitly identified in the test-drive content, and it represents the fully loaded version with the most visible comfort and tech upgrades. If you want the Soul’s personality plus the richest feature set described here, this is the trim that best matches that brief.
The safety package note is important here: the Soul includes 911 Connect and related driver-assistance-style alerts, but blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert is not available.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2015 Kia Soul?
This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you compare listings carefully.
- Deal availability: 29.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,186 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 2.30% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 56.9% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $7,621, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2015 Kia Soul's resale value?
The current average of $7,956 sits slightly below last year's $8,144.
That softer pricing suggests the market has become a bit more buyer-friendly, which can work against a future seller if you buy at the wrong point. On the other hand, the current range still shows enough demand to support reasonable resale prospects if you choose a clean, well-kept example.
The Soul’s strong owner satisfaction helps here, because vehicles with solid reputation and broad appeal tend to stay easier to resell. If you maintain it well and keep the history clean, you should have a better shot at holding value than with a less distinctive small car.
Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.36/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Is the 2015 Kia Soul safe?
The 2015 Kia Soul earns a Top Safety Pick rating from IIHS and a five-star overall rating from NHTSA.
It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.
The Soul’s safety tech centers on UVO eServices with 911 Connect, which can automatically alert authorities after a collision if a paired smartphone is present. It also includes Speed Alert, Curfew Alert, Geo Fence, and Driving Score features, which are especially useful for families with teen drivers.
A key caveat is that the Soul lacks some modern active safety features, including blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert. That omission matters if you want the most comprehensive driver-assistance coverage.
Should I buy a 2015 Kia Soul or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2015 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2015 if:
- 29.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 56.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 2.30% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.36/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
- The 2015 stands out for its personality, value, and strong safety and technology scores.
Consider the 2014 if:
- At $6,975, the 2014 costs less than the current year's $7,956 average.
- The 2014 is a distinctive, tech-friendly daily-driver hatch with broad appeal.
The bottom line: If you want the stronger all-around package, the 2015 is the better target because it combines value, safety, and owner satisfaction with a still-reasonable market price. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2014 is the more budget-friendly path and still delivers the Soul’s core personality.
