CarGurus Analysis: 2022 Kia Soul

Summary
With 145 currently listed for sale near Atlanta, GA and an average price of $13,181.00, 35.9% of 2022 Kia Souls for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2022 Kia Soul 5 / 5 stars.
98.6% of 2022 Soul models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2022 Kia Soul stands out because it keeps the model’s familiar boxy, space-efficient shape while adding a more modern set of features and a broader spread of trims. Kia built this generation on a new chassis with its current technology, powertrains, and safety features, and also stretched the wheelbase and overall length to improve comfort and interior space. It still leans into the Soul’s quirky personality, but the updates make it feel more polished and more useful than the earlier versions that established the nameplate.
For 2022, the Soul’s standard and available equipment became notably richer. Kia discontinued the manual transmission, and the S, X-Line, and GT-Line gained the large touchscreen, navigation, dual-zone climate control, push-button start, wireless charging, and two USB ports as standard equipment. The LX could now be ordered with driver assist and 16-inch alloy wheels. Under the hood, the 2.0-liter inline-four made 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque, and fuel economy ranged from 30-31 mpg. Buyers who want a small vehicle with a lot of room, a distinctive look, and a strong value proposition will find the Soul appealing, though it is worth noting that the model has faced some reliability and recall concerns in recent years.

I love the Kia Soul, especially with the extra boost because of the turbo. It can really use some more trunk space, that’s the only reason I don’t have this one in my garage. Other than that, this vehicle is AWESOME.

Fun sporty car with heated seats (EX). Feel higher up than compact car and comfortable to get in and out. Back hatch roomy with privacy cover. Great gas mileage 33-37mpg. Glad found new one just delivered to dealer.

If you find a listing below $14,834.56, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
Is the 2022 Kia Soul a good car?
Yes — the 2022 Kia Soul earns a 5/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction.
It stands out for its boxy, space-efficient shape, a more modern feature set, and a broader spread of trims. Kia also stretched the wheelbase and overall length, which helps improve comfort and interior space, while the updated equipment makes it feel more polished and more useful than earlier versions.
For you, that means the Soul makes the most sense if you want a small vehicle with a lot of room, a distinctive look, and strong value.
32.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you a decent chance to find a competitive offer.
Is the 2022 Kia Soul reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The 2022 Soul is built on a newer chassis with current technology, powertrains, and safety features, which supports its everyday usability. At the same time, the model has faced some reliability and recall concerns in recent years, so you should treat condition and maintenance history as especially important.
For used buyers, that means long-term ownership risk is manageable only if you verify the car’s history carefully and avoid neglected examples.
What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Kia Soul?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 80% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should prioritize a history report first, then inspect the car for signs of prior damage, uneven wear, or poor repairs. Focus on overall condition, because a clean-looking Soul can still hide issues if it has been repaired after an accident or skipped routine maintenance.
It also helps to pay close attention to how the interior, electronics, and safety systems function, since those are the areas you’ll use every day.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Kia Soul?
This is a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without expecting every listing to be a bargain.
- Deal availability: 32.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,864 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.27% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 80.0% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $14,834.56, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2022 Kia Soul's resale value?
The current average of $14,826 sits slightly below last year's $16,341.
That decline suggests the market has become more favorable for buyers, but it also means a future seller may need to price carefully to stay competitive. If you buy well now, you may have less downside risk than someone who paid closer to last year’s average.
The Soul’s broad appeal as a practical, distinctive small vehicle should help it remain easy to shop in the used market. Strong value positioning can support demand, especially when the car is clean, well maintained, and priced near the market average.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2022 Kia Soul or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2022 if:
- 32.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 80% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.27% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $13,853, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $14,826 average.
- It offers a broader trim spread and a more configurable lineup.
Consider the 2023 if:
- At $17,471, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $14,826 average.
- It adds more standard driver-assist features and a more focused trim lineup.
The bottom line: The 2022 is the best all-around choice if you want a strong mix of value, inventory depth, and updated equipment. If your priority is saving money, the 2021 is the better path; if you want newer standard safety content and can stretch your budget, the 2023 is worth a look.
