CarGurus Analysis: 2022 Kia Soul

Summary
With 137 currently listed for sale and an average price of $15,573, 29.9% of 2022 Kia Soul listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2022 Kia Soul 5 / 5 stars.
96.4% of 2022 Kia Soul listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2022 Kia Soul stands out because it keeps the model’s familiar boxy shape while leaning into practicality and value. Kia’s buying guide describes the Soul as quirky yet practical, with a lot of space inside and a lot of standard features across trims. It also notes that the model helped reshape Kia’s image into something more appealing without losing its value-conscious character, which is a big part of the Soul’s appeal.
For 2022, the Soul’s equipment list became more generous on several trims. The S, X-Line, and GT-Line gained the big touchscreen, navigation, dual-zone climate control, push-button start, wireless charging, and two USB ports as standard equipment, while the LX could be ordered with driver assist and 16-inch alloy wheels. That mix of useful tech and everyday convenience makes the 2022 Soul feel well equipped for the class.
There are still a few tradeoffs to keep in mind. The buying guide says the Soul can be a good deal if you want something small, affordable, and practical, but it also warns that some years have reliability and recall concerns, so checking that recall work has been done is important. Even so, the 2022 Soul remains distinctive for buyers who want a compact hatchback with personality, usable space, and a strong value proposition.

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 2022 Kia Soul earns a 5/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. The overview describes it as quirky yet practical, with a lot of space inside and a lot of standard features across trims. It also highlights the Soul’s value-conscious character and its appeal for buyers who want a compact hatchback with personality, usable space, and everyday convenience. With 34.2% of listings priced as good or great deals, you have a meaningful number of opportunities to shop selectively.
Is the 2022 Kia Soul reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The overview also notes that some years have reliability and recall concerns, so you should make sure any recall work has been completed before you buy. For used buyers, that means the biggest long-term ownership risk is not the Soul’s basic concept, but whether a specific example has been properly maintained and repaired.
What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Kia Soul?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should start with a history report to confirm accident status and check for open recalls or completed recall repairs. After that, prioritize a thorough inspection of the car’s condition, especially signs of wear that could affect daily usability and value. Focus on how well the interior, electronics, and overall maintenance history line up with the Soul’s practical, feature-rich appeal.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Kia Soul?
This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to compare options but still enough variation to reward careful shopping.
- Deal availability: 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,752 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.90% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 78.4% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $14,677, 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 $14,728 sits slightly below last year's $16,168.
That price movement suggests the market has become more favorable for buyers, but it can also mean future sellers may need to price competitively to stand out. The Soul’s value-oriented reputation and practical packaging should help it remain appealing to shoppers who want space and personality without paying a premium. If you keep mileage, condition, and maintenance records in good shape, you improve your odds of holding value better than a neglected example.
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:
- 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.90% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $13,920, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $14,728 average.
- It keeps the Soul’s funky personality while adding practical updates and broad appeal.
Consider the 2023 if:
- At $17,179, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $14,728 average.
- It adds more standard driver-assist features and a revised trim lineup.
The bottom line: The 2022 is the best all-around pick if you want a strong mix of value, features, and market availability. If your priority is saving money, the 2021 is the better secondary path, especially if you find one in excellent condition with a clean history.
