Shop the Kia Soul by condition
Each link below opens live Nalley inventory for that version of the Soul — no third-party listings, no dead ends. This is a small nameplate and stock moves, so if a version is empty today it is worth checking back or asking us to watch for one.
Interior space and cargo room
The box shape earns its keep here. A tall roof means real headroom front and back, so even tall folks are not hunched over. There is 24.2 cubic feet behind the back seats, which is a lot for something this small — a Costco run or a couple of bags, no sweat.
Drop the back seats and it jumps to 62.1 cubic feet. A bike fits. A dresser fits. And the rear opening is big and square, so there is none of that shoving things in sideways through a narrow gap.
Kia Soul specs and features

- Seating: five
- Cargo: 24.2 cubic feet behind the back seats, up to 62.1 with them folded down
- Fuel economy: around 28 city and 33 highway
- Trims: LX, S, GT-Line and EX
- Warranty: 10 years or 100,000 miles on the powertrain for the original owner, 5 years or 60,000 on the basic
Figures are manufacturer/EPA estimates and vary by model year, trim, and configuration.
Technology and safety
Inside is nicer than the price lets on. Most trims run a 10.25-inch touchscreen; the base LX gets a smaller one, which is fair enough. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard either way — the smaller screen connects wirelessly, the 10.25-inch one uses a cable, so check which head unit the car has if going cordless matters to you. Move up the ladder and you can add wireless charging, navigation, the full digital gauge screen on the GT-Line, and a Harman Kardon setup with a subwoofer. The buttons are where you would reach for them, so you are not fishing through menus at 60. The GT-Line also gets the mood lighting that pulses with the music.
Kia does not make you buy up to get the safety gear. Every Soul comes with automatic emergency braking that watches for people and bikes, lane keeping, and a nudge if the driver is drifting off. Go up one trim and you add blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert, which earn their keep every time you back out of a packed lot. The higher trims add adaptive cruise for the freeway. For a car this cheap, that is a lot.
Compare Kia Soul trim levels
There is a Soul for just about any budget. LX is the cheap seat and still comes with more than you would figure, safety basics and the phone hookup included. S nudges up the screen and adds a few creature comforts. GT-Line is the one people point at — the sporty look, digital gauges, the mood lighting, all of it. EX goes the comfort route with nicer materials. Same engine in all of them, so honestly it comes down to how loaded and how flashy you want to go.
The price does not climb much from bottom to top, which is half the reason folks love it. Every trim gets the same roomy box and the same warranty, so the extra cash mostly buys looks and toys rather than the stuff that actually matters.
Should you buy a new or used Kia Soul?
Buy new and every mile is yours, plus Kia’s warranty — 10 years or 100,000 miles on the powertrain, which is still hard to beat. That coverage alone moves a lot of them off the lot. But do not sleep on used: the Soul holds up, and a clean one still feels tight a lot of miles down the road, so you save some cash without really giving anything up.
One thing to know before you shop used, because plenty of sites get it wrong. That 10-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty is an original-owner benefit. As a second owner you inherit 5 years / 60,000 miles from the original in-service date instead. A Kia Certified Pre-Owned Soul is the exception — it carries 10 years / 100,000 miles of CPO powertrain coverage measured from that same date, which is most of the reason to pay the CPO premium on a car this age. Every used Soul we sell gets gone over before it goes up for sale.

How the Soul compares
Most Soul shoppers are cross-shopping it against the Honda HR-V, the Toyota Corolla, and Kia’s own Seltos. The Soul’s pitch is the box: more usable cargo space and headroom than its footprint suggests, at the lowest price of the group. The catch is that it is front-wheel drive only. If you want the same size of car with all-wheel drive, the Seltos is the one to look at — it is available with AWD on every trim.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Kia Soul come with all-wheel drive?
No — front-wheel drive only, every trim, every year of this generation. It gets through rain and light snow fine for most people. If you genuinely need all-wheel drive, look at the Kia Seltos, which offers it on every trim, or the Sportage a size up.
How much horsepower does the Kia Soul have?
The same setup on every trim: a 2.0-litre four-cylinder making 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, hooked to a CVT. It is no rocket, but it has plenty for running around town and for getting up to speed on the highway.
How many people does the Kia Soul seat?
Five. Thanks to the box shape and that tall roof there is more head and legroom back there than you would expect from a car this size, so the back seat is not just kid territory.
How much cargo room does the Kia Soul have?
24.2 cubic feet behind the back seats, which is a lot for a car this small. Fold the seats flat and it opens up to 62.1 cubic feet — enough for a bike or a big haul from the store. The square rear opening is part of why it is easier to load than the numbers alone suggest.
Is the Kia Soul good on gas?
It does alright. Figure around 28 in the city and 33 on the highway. It is a small, light car with a modest engine, so filling it up does not hurt much. Figures are EPA estimates and vary by model year and configuration.
Is the Kia Soul an SUV or a hatchback?
A hatchback, and that is how it is filed in our inventory — so if you are filtering by body style, look under hatchbacks rather than SUVs. It sits taller than a normal car and gives you an SUV-ish view out, but it is front-wheel drive only and has no off-road pretensions. The Seltos is the actual small SUV in the lineup.
Is a used Kia Soul worth buying?
For sure, with one thing to get straight. The Soul is known for lasting, so a well-kept used one still feels solid down the road. But Kia’s headline 10-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty belongs to the original owner — as a second owner you inherit 5 years / 60,000 miles from the original in-service date. A Certified Pre-Owned Soul is the exception, carrying 10 years / 100,000 miles of CPO powertrain coverage from that same date. Every used Soul we sell gets looked over first. Browse used Soul inventory.
Should I buy the Soul or the Seltos?
The Soul is cheaper, easier to park, and has the taller, squarer cargo hold. The Seltos costs more but adds all-wheel drive availability on every trim, a 190-horsepower turbo at the top, and a bit more room behind the seats. If you want the cheapest way to carry a lot in a small footprint, the Soul. If weather or traction is on your mind, the Seltos.
How much does a Kia Soul cost at Nalley in Atlanta?
Pricing varies by trim, year, mileage, options, and current promotions — the LX sits at the accessible end and the GT-Line at the top, and the spread between them was never large. Browse live Soul inventory for real no-haggle pricing on every one in stock, or see Kia under $25,000 for the wider picture. Check current specials for rebates and financing offers.

Find your next vehicle at Nalley
The Soul is the boxy one. That is basically the whole deal. It is easy to park and it swallows more than it looks like it should. You sit up high so you can see out, it is cheap to buy and cheap to fill up. It will not win any races and it is not going off-road, but that was never the idea.
It is a fun little thing that carries your stuff and leaves you alone at the gas station. The lineup runs from the plain LX up to the sporty GT-Line, so keep it simple or dress it up, your call. Nalley keeps new and used ones moving, and clean used Souls do not sit long — if the one you want is not here today, tell us and we will watch for it.
