CarGurus Analysis: 2022 Kia Soul

Summary
With 136 currently listed for sale near Los Angeles, CA and an average price of $13,753, 35.3% 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.

Is the 2022 Kia Soul a good car?
Yes — the 5/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. The 2022 Soul keeps the model’s familiar boxy, space-efficient shape while adding a more modern set of features and a broader spread of trims. It also rides on a newer chassis with updated technology, powertrains, and safety features, and its stretched wheelbase and longer body help improve comfort and interior space. If you want a small vehicle with a lot of room, a distinctive look, and a strong value proposition, this model year fits that use case well. Good and great deals account for 31.0% of listings, which gives you room to shop selectively.
Is the 2022 Kia Soul reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The 2022 Soul is described as a more polished and more useful version of the earlier model, with richer standard equipment and a broader spread of trims. It also benefits from the current generation’s technology, powertrains, and safety features. Even so, you should keep an eye on long-term ownership risk because the model has faced some reliability and recall concerns in recent years.
What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Kia Soul?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 79.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should start with the history report so you can confirm accident status and spot any red flags before you visit. Then prioritize a thorough inspection of the car’s condition, especially if you’re comparing multiple listings at similar prices. Focus on how well the vehicle has been maintained and whether its features and interior equipment match the seller’s description.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Kia Soul?
This is a moderate market, so you can be selective without expecting every listing to be a bargain.
- Deal availability: 31.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,793 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.98% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 79.5% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $14,744, 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 $14,744 sits slightly below last year's $16,379.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can help you buy at a better entry point today. For future resale, a lower purchase price can reduce your downside if you sell later. It also means condition and mileage will matter even more when you eventually list the car, because buyers will compare your Soul against a fairly broad pool of similar vehicles.
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:
- 31.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 79.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.98% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $13,797, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $14,744 average.
- It offers a broad trim range with useful everyday practicality.
Consider the 2023 if:
- At $17,330, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $14,744 average.
- It adds more standard driver-assist features and a more focused trim lineup.
The bottom line: The 2022 is the best all-around pick if you want the strongest mix of price, inventory, and owner satisfaction. If you’re more price-sensitive, the 2021 is the better value play, while the 2023 makes sense if you want the newer feature set and don’t mind paying more.
