CarGurus Analysis: 2022 Kia Soul

Summary
With 129 currently listed for sale near Cleveland, OH and an average price of $14,638, 27.1% 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.
100.0% 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.

Yes — the 2022 Kia Soul earns a 5/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. It 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 also stretched the wheelbase and overall length to improve comfort and interior space, so you get a small vehicle that still feels useful for everyday driving. Buyers who want a compact model with a lot of room, a distinctive look, and a strong value proposition should find it appealing. Good and great deals account for 31.2% of listings, which gives you some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2022 Kia Soul reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The 2022 Kia Soul is built on a newer chassis with current technology, powertrains, and safety features, which supports its everyday usability. It also gained richer standard equipment across several trims, including a large touchscreen, navigation, dual-zone climate control, push-button start, wireless charging, and two USB ports on some versions. Even so, you should pay close attention to maintenance records and vehicle history because the model has faced some reliability and recall concerns in recent years. For used buyers, that means the best examples are the ones with clean documentation and a careful inspection.
What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Kia Soul?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should start with a history report to confirm accident status, title status, and service records. Then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has higher mileage or incomplete maintenance documentation. Focus on overall condition, interior wear, and whether the equipment on the specific trim works as expected.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Kia Soul?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.
- Deal availability: 31.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,786 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.91% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 78.8% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $14,694, 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 $14,694 sits slightly below last year's $16,310.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can help you buy at a better entry point today. For a future seller, it also means resale value may depend more heavily on condition, mileage, and documentation than on broad market momentum. If you keep the car clean, well maintained, and accident-free, you improve your odds of standing out when it is time to sell.
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:
- 31.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.91% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $13,821, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $14,694 average.
- It offers a broader trim spread with more configuration flexibility.
Consider the 2023 if:
- At $17,289, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $14,694 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, features, and market availability. If your priority is spending less, the 2021 is the better budget path, while the 2023 makes sense if you want the newer feature set and do not mind paying more.
