Kia Soul: what to know before you buy

Box = space; cheap to buy, insure, and love. Here's the honest rundown — pricing, trims, what to inspect, and how to pay less than the sticker.

Overview

The Kia Soul is a suv known for this above all: box = space; cheap to buy, insure, and love. It cross-shops against the Hyundai Kona, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and like every vehicle it has a personality — strengths worth paying for and quirks worth checking before you sign anything.

What it costs

Typical late-model used range: $16,000 – $25,000. Exact pricing swings with year, trim, mileage, options, and your region. See live Kia Soul listings nationwide →
