Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2022 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, and a driver attention monitor; the Soul S adds lane change assist, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, and automatic high beams.
• Infotainment: an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on the base model, plus a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation on higher trim levels.
• Fuel efficiency: Most 2023 Kia Soul models get EPA-rated fuel economy of 30 mpg combined (28 mpg city, 33 mpg highway), but the Kia Soul EX is rated slightly higher at 31 mpg combined 29 mpg city, 35 mpg highway).

Which Kia Soul trim should I buy?

The 2023 Kia Soul offers these trims:

• LX: the entry trim brings the 8-inch touchscreen, digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and standard driver-assist features; it’s the value-focused starting point.
• S: adds lane change assist, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, automatic high beams, and voice recognition, making it the best-value trim for many shoppers.
• EX: adds the 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation, wireless phone charging, dual-zone automatic climate control, and extra convenience features.
• GT-Line: adds the sportier appearance and, with the Technology Package, brings the most advanced convenience and driver-assist equipment, including heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, navigation-based adaptive cruise control, and Highway Drive Assist.

What Kia Soul do most buyers choose?

The Kia Soul years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

Higher-volume model years tend to attract more shoppers because they offer a strong mix of newer features, broader availability, and more competitive pricing. That combination gives you more choices and a better chance of finding the right trim, mileage, and condition.

What is the Kia Soul's resale value?

Most Kia Soul model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used because prices have generally softened. The largest drops are in the newer model years, while older examples show smaller declines. That pattern gives you more room to find value, especially if you’re open to a recent used Soul instead of buying new.

The 2015, 2017, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Kia Soul now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2024 model is at −4.13% versus a year ago, and the 2023 model is at −4.46%.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Kia is offering only a single powertrain for 2023. The carryover 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine produces 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque, and is only available with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive (FWD).
• Tech: A digital instrument cluster and 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system are standard on the base LX trim level; higher trim levels get a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation, plus wireless phone charging and two USB center console charge ports in addition to the standard port located at the base of the center stack.
• Safety: For 2023, Kia has made some previously optional driver-assist features standard, including forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, and a driver attention monitor.
• Starting price: Pricing starts at $21,215 for the base Kia Soul LX trim level (all prices include a mandatory $1,325 destination charge).

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2026 inventory to mature.
