CarGurus Analysis: 2019 Kia Soul

Summary
With 106 currently listed for sale near Philadelphia, PA and an average price of $11,996.00, 41.5% of 2019 Kia Souls for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2019 Kia Soul 3.86 / 5 stars.
100.0% of 2019 Soul models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2019 Kia Soul stands out because it keeps the model’s signature boxy shape while pairing it with a practical, value-focused personality. Kia’s buying guide describes the Soul as quirky yet practical, with a lot of space inside and a lot of standard features across all trims. It also notes that the model helped reshape Kia’s image into one that was more appealing while still being value-conscious. For shoppers, that combination of distinctive styling, roomy packaging, and affordability is a big part of the Soul’s appeal.
For 2019, the Soul came with a backup camera and automatic headlights as standard equipment. That year also marked the end of the Soul EV, which had been available in limited numbers in specific states. The buying guide also points out that used Soul models can be a good deal if you want something small, affordable, and practical, though recall work should be checked carefully. Owner feedback lines up with that formula, often praising the roomy cabin, smooth and quiet ride, and decent performance, while also noting concerns about missing features on some cars and the quality of used examples.

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.

The Kia Soul has a style of its own, with lots of interior space. It drives well absorbing road imperfections and providing a quiet ride. Even the base model has all the accessories you need in a car and its 1.6 motor and multispeed automatic gives surprisingly brisk performance. Add to this the generous warranty and I am very happy with the choice.

If you find a listing below $10,785.92, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
Is the 2019 Kia Soul a good car?
The 2019 Kia Soul can be a smart fit if you want a compact vehicle that emphasizes space, value, and everyday usability over flash. It earns a 3.86/5 user rating, and reviewers repeatedly point to the roomy interior, smooth and quiet ride, and decent performance as the main strengths.
That lines up with the model’s practical, value-focused personality and its generous standard equipment, which makes it appealing if you want a small car that feels more useful than generic. It also works well if you care about distinctive styling and affordability in the same package.
There are tradeoffs, though, including complaints about missing features on some cars and concerns about the quality of used examples. With 26.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2019 Kia Soul reliable?
The 2019 Kia Soul is presented as a practical, value-conscious choice, and owner feedback supports that with praise for its smooth, quiet ride and decent performance. Reviewers also describe it as a great value, which matters if you want a used car that feels easy to live with day to day.
At the same time, some owners mention concerns about used-condition quality, misrepresented examples, and costly repairs after purchase. That means long-term ownership risk is less about the basic concept of the car and more about how carefully the specific used example was maintained.
What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Kia Soul?
At 60.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should run a vehicle history report before you get serious about any listing, then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection on the cars that look best on paper. Focus on overall condition, repair quality, and whether the car’s equipment and wear match the seller’s description.
Because used examples can vary a lot, the best purchase is the one with clean documentation and consistent condition, not just the lowest asking price.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Kia Soul?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile options.
- Deal availability: 26.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,397 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 2.76% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 60.1% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $10,785.92, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2019 Kia Soul's resale value?
The current average of $11,077 sits slightly below last year's $11,392.
That tells you the market has eased a bit, which can help you as a buyer but may temper what a future seller can expect. If you own one now, resale value is still supported by the Soul’s value reputation and broad appeal, but the softer pricing trend suggests you should not expect a strong premium unless your car is especially clean and well documented.
For a seller, condition and history matter more when the market is drifting down. A well-kept example with clear records should stand out better than average, while a rougher one may need sharper pricing to move.
Should I buy a 2019 Kia Soul or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2019 if:
- 26.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 60.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 2.76% compared with last year.
Consider the 2020 if:
- At $12,707, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $11,077 average.
- It adds a more futuristic redesign and broader small-SUV appeal.
The bottom line: If you want the better value play, the 2019 is the stronger starting point because pricing has softened and there are enough listings to shop carefully. If you’re willing to pay more for a newer-feeling design and a more modern presentation, the 2020 is the better secondary path.
