CarGurus Analysis: 2024 Kia Soul

Summary
With 158 currently listed for sale and an average price of $17,723, 34.2% of 2024 Kia Soul listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2024 Kia Soul 5 / 5 stars.
100.0% of 2024 Kia Soul listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2024 Kia Soul stands out because it keeps the model’s quirky, boxy personality while still being practical and value-conscious. Kia’s buying guide describes the Soul as a subcompact hatchback with a lot of space inside, and it also notes that the model helped reshape Kia’s image into something more appealing without losing its affordable character. That combination of distinctive styling, useful interior room, and broad everyday appeal is a big part of what makes the Soul memorable.
For 2024, Kia added an EX Designer Package with 18-inch wheels and a unique cloth-and-vinyl interior. The guide also says Kia made the smart key “sleep” so it would not transmit a wireless signal after 40 seconds, a theft-prevention measure that adds a practical security benefit. Those updates fit the Soul’s formula well: it is still an unconventional small car, but one that offers modern convenience and a few thoughtful touches.
At the same time, the Soul is not presented as a luxury or performance standout. The guide’s broader notes point to some reliability concerns in the model line, so a used example still deserves careful checking, especially for recall work. Even so, the 2024 Kia Soul remains appealing for buyers who want something compact, roomy, and a little different from the usual small-car crowd.

Great little car for the money. The EX trim is the Way to go. Has all the bells and whistles you need. Adequate power and gets up to highway speed in a decent time. Seats are comfortable enough, and ride Quality is good for what it is. Cargo space is good for the size, especially with back sears down. Overall a good economy car.

The model’s affordable character and modern convenience touches help it stand out without trying to be a luxury or performance vehicle.
With 40.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market also gives you a decent chance to find a compelling example.
Is the 2024 Kia Soul reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The 2024 Kia Soul’s overview points to some reliability concerns in the model line, so you should treat condition and maintenance history as especially important. That makes a careful pre-purchase check worthwhile, particularly if you plan to keep the car for the long haul.
What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Kia Soul?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should prioritize a history report first, then inspect the car closely for signs of prior damage, uneven wear, or incomplete repairs. Focus on overall condition, because a clean-looking listing is not a substitute for documented maintenance and a thorough inspection. If possible, have a trusted mechanic review the car before you commit.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Kia Soul?
This looks like a buyer-friendly market, with decent deal availability and a healthy number of listings to compare.
- Deal availability: 40.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 2,591 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 2.67% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 87.4% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $17,103, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2024 Kia Soul's resale value?
The current average of $18,084 sits slightly below last year's $18,580.
That softer pricing can help you buy more carefully now, but it also suggests future sellers may face some downward pressure if the market stays similar. A model that holds buyer interest through its distinctive styling and practical packaging can still support resale demand, especially when it has strong condition and clean history. If you buy well and keep the car maintained, you improve your odds of getting a better return later.
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 2024 Kia Soul or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2024 if:
- 40.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 2.67% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2023 if:
- At $17,179, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $18,084 average.
- It offers a more straightforward value-focused setup with practical packaging and strong everyday usefulness.
The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-market mix of deal availability, cleaner inventory, and a softer price trend, the 2024 is the better primary target. If your priority is spending less upfront, the 2023 is the smarter secondary path and still gives you the Soul’s practical, distinctive character.
