Compact Wagon · what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.

The 2012 Kia Soul is a compact wagon we track across the used market in Canada. It's rated at about 383 km of electric range, so the real questions are price, charging and how it holds value. A 15-year-old one keeps roughly 29% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.
