Kia Soul Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The 2025 model year was the last for the Soul in the US. Kia ended sales of the boxy hatchback here, so there is no newer Soul to configure on Kia's site, and the prices on this page are the last ones Kia published.

That changes how you should read the numbers. They show what the Soul cost new, and they are a useful reference when you compare the car with a replacement or judge a used example. Kia's other small models fill the same niche now, but the Soul's shape and personality were its own.

Only two trims were left by the end. The LX was $20,490, and the EX was $24,790, both before destination.

That makes the pricing simple. The step between the two trims is the only decision most buyers had to make, and it came down to how many comfort and tech features you wanted over the base car.

Kia charged $1,445 for destination on the Soul. Adding it to the LX gives $21,935, and SlashGear points to that figure when it describes the Soul as the least expensive Kia.

Kia has not tied the end of the Soul to a single cause. Small hatchbacks lost ground to crossovers across the US market, and the Soul sat in a category that fewer buyers were choosing. The takeaway for shoppers is practical: parts and service should remain available through Kia dealers, but no new model years are coming.

Kia is no longer building Souls for the US, so any new example would be leftover inventory from the 2025 model year. Stock is limited and shrinking. If a dealer lists one, ask for the window sticker and compare it with the MSRP above, since any difference would come from dealer add-ons or fees.

Call dealers rather than relying on online listings, which can lag behind what is on the lot. Be ready for the possibility that nothing is available nearby.

A used Soul can be a sensible purchase, but the checks are the ones you would run on any used car.

• Get a vehicle history report and check for accidents, flood damage, and title brands.
• Ask for service records, and confirm that recalls have been completed. Kia dealers can look up open recalls by VIN, and NHTSA's site offers the same check.
• Take a long test drive that includes highway speeds and a few hard stops.
• Have an independent mechanic inspect it before you pay.

Asking prices on used cars vary by mileage, condition, and region, so compare several listings before you decide.

If the Soul's size and upright seating are what you liked, look at small crossovers and hatchbacks from other brands. Compare cargo space, rear headroom, and standard equipment in person. A new compact crossover will usually cost more than the final Soul did, so set your budget before you shop.

• Insurance. Rates depend on your ZIP code, record, and the car's age.
• Fuel. Check fueleconomy.gov for official EPA ratings.
• Maintenance. Small, mainstream cars like the Soul are generally inexpensive to service, but ask a shop for an estimate on any known issues.
• Warranty. Coverage depends on the model year, mileage, and whether the car has had more than one owner. Ask Kia or a dealer to confirm what remains.

Whether you buy new leftover stock or a used car, your payment depends on credit, down payment, term, and rate. Get a pre-approved loan from a bank or credit union and compare it with dealer financing. For personal financial advice, consult a licensed professional.
