Pricing
For anyone who can’t wait to build and order a brand new Kia Soul, we have great news. The price of the 2025 crossover has hardly changed since last year, offering you your very own oasis on wheels, starting at $20,490! That’s only a $300 difference from last year’s MSRP, which came in at $20,190. As always, Kia is dedicated to providing its customers with street-smart innovations at a very accessible price point.
Trim Models
While these Soul model years have most trim models in common, there’s an all-new option for 2025! The Soulmate Edition debuts, adding to the upscale EX lineup with exclusive styling. Make it your soulmate for a fun-loving aesthetic, with 18-inch aluminum wheels, a two-tone paint job, vinyl-and-cloth Umber-colored upholstery, and a premium Harman Kardon sound system!
There are four trim models that the 2024 and 2025 Kia Soul have in common: the base LX, middling S, sporty GT-Line, and posh EX. Each comes standard with high-end technology, including modern infotainment and driver safety aids. Moving up the list means more luxury and cutting-edge tech features — and, in the GT-Line’s case, sportier styling.
Modern Features
Whether you’re shopping for smartphone-friendly infotainment or an electronic safety net, you’ll find it on these modern Souls! Both models’ versions of the entry-level Soul LX keep you wired in, with an 8-inch central touchscreen and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. And standard driving aids — such as automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assist — are ready to jump into action and help you avoid trouble.
Move up the list of trim models for some fabulous upgrades. For instance, you can practically cancel humid summers with the available dual-zone automatic climate control system. And thanks to options like a leather-wrapped leather steering wheel and an expansive sunroof, you can equip your Soul for a very stylish drive!
Fuel Efficiency
When it comes to EPA ratings, there’s no difference between the 2024 Kia Soul and the 2025 model! Most trim models earn 30 mpg combined (27 city/33 highway) — very impressive figures for these sporty crossovers. Depending on your driving habits, you can travel an average of 429 miles on a full tank of gas! Spend a little more on the top-tier Soul EX, and you just might make it back at the pump, with max fuel ratings of 31 mpg combined (29 city/35 highway).
