Summary
With 1,757 currently listed for sale and an average price of $14,652, 33.3% 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.
78.8% 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 stands out for its boxy, space-efficient shape, a more modern feature set, and a broader spread of trims, while the updated chassis helps 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. 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals, 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 Soul is built on a newer chassis with current technology, powertrains, and safety features, and it benefits from a more polished, useful package than earlier versions. At the same time, the model has faced some reliability and recall concerns in recent years, so used buyers should pay close attention to maintenance records and vehicle history. For long-term ownership, that means you should be especially careful about condition and documentation before you commit.
What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Kia Soul?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should prioritize a history report first, then confirm that the car’s condition matches the listing description. A pre-purchase inspection is especially useful if you’re comparing multiple examples, since you want to focus on maintenance quality, signs of prior damage, and overall wear. Because this model has had some reliability and recall concerns, a careful condition check matters more than usual.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Kia Soul?
This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.
- Deal availability: 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,737 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.40% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 78.9% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $14,657, 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 $14,657 sits slightly below last year's $16,177.
That softer pricing suggests the model has become more accessible for buyers, but it also means future sellers may face a more competitive market. If you buy at the right price now, you can help protect your position later by keeping mileage, condition, and maintenance records in strong shape. The Soul’s distinctive design and practical packaging should continue to support demand among shoppers who want value and space in a small footprint.
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:
- 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.40% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $13,909, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $14,657 average.
- It offers a broader trim spread and a more configurable lineup.
Consider the 2023 if:
- At $17,220, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $14,657 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 the strongest mix of price, inventory, and satisfaction. If you’re more price-sensitive, the 2021 is the better value play; if you want newer standard equipment and can spend more, the 2023 is the cleaner upgrade path.
