Kia Soul keeps an estimated 62% of its recent market value after 5 years — #170 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Kia Soul retains an estimated 62% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #170 of 530 cars we track. That is 5 points above the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Kia Soul sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $21,565 it falls to around $13,456 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,109, about $4.44 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Kia Soul bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
