What is a KIA Soul?

The Kia Soul is a compact SUV which makes a nice little car with a unique, boxy design that sets it apart from most cars in its class thanks to its good all-round visibility and tight turning circles, to name just two features as a result.

Known for its roomy interior and quirky style, it gives you the practicality of a small SUV but with the ease of a hatchback. For example, the Soul gives you generous headroom and legroom in both the front and the rear, making it a very comfortable choice for both you as a driver and your passengers as well - even on longer journeys.

It’s also packed with features you would typically find in larger cars, like a user-friendly infotainment screen, high safety standards in crash-tests as well with a four-star rating in the Euro NCAP safety rating - along with giving you lots of options to choose from for customisation as well.

This SUV also has 2 electric motor engines to choose from and comes in an electric car variant as well - as the new KIA Soul all-electric crossover, which can give you up to 280 miles on a single charge.

All of this makes the Kia Soul a very adaptable car which can easily cater to your different driving preferences and budgets.

So, whether you are after something practical - or looking to stand out on the road - the Kia Soul really offers you a very distinctive combination of style, comfort, and technology, all rolled into one very easy-to-use package while it does so.

Exterior Design

Looking at the Kia Soul's exterior, you really get an undeniably distinctive design, making it a very standout choice in the compact car segment.

This is in part thanks to its bold lines and unconventional shape, which does break away from traditional designs of cars such as Hyundai Kona Electric, Kia Sportage, Nissan Leaf, Kia Niro Electric car, Peugeot e-2008 / Peugeot 2008, Volkswagen ID 3, or even a Nissan Juke for instance.

As a result, the car's unique aesthetic does not just turn heads — it also serves practical purposes, which improves the car's interior space and functionality in the process.

In this section, we'll delve into the details of its exterior features, exploring the front, side profile, roof, rear and much more, as each element really has, in our opinion, been thoughtfully designed to give you a very styling car with lots of practical features - all of which does a great job at contributing to the overall charm and appeal that most people tend to find in the Kia Soul we have noticed.

Front

For instance, starting at the front, the Kia Soul features a very bold grille and distinctive headlights that really give it a modern and friendly face.

This is then combined with its stylish LED Daytime Running Lights that add a touch of sophistication while improving your visibility at the same time as well.

LED Headlights, Daytime Running Lights and HID Headlamps

Here you also get self-levelling high-intensity discharge headlights that give you bright, crisp lighting for enhanced safety, especially at night - all while its LED DRLs give you a very visible presence on the road during the day as well.

Aeroblade Type Window Wipers

Your windscreen wipers have also been aerodynamically designed to help give you that perfect wiper action even at high speeds.

These windscreen wipers are also automatically activated as soon as moisture in the rain (rain-sensing) is detected by the car and will also auto-turn on and off to give you the visibility you need without having to even lift a finger to get it.

Black High-gloss Front Bumper

Moving to the front bumper, this comes with a high-gloss finish, which really does a good job of giving you a touch of clear style to the front of the car in the process.

All the while, this blends in really well with the body colour, giving you a very cohesive and aesthetic look, as well, from our view.

Outside Electronically Adjustable Mirrors

You also get electrically folding, adjustable, and heated side mirrors, which are available in black, body colour, or high-gloss black finishes, depending on the trim level and the style you want to go for here.

Xenon Headlights (KIA Soul Sport)

In the Sport model as well, the KIA Soul also comes with self-levelling Xenon headlights that give you very bright, crisp lighting on the road and much-improved safety at night as well - as you will be hard to be missed with these.

Side Profile

From the side, its boxy silhouette is both very quirky and practical.

Its upright stance, for instance, maximises your interior space, and its pronounced wheel arches also house some very stylish alloy wheels that really do improve its exterior appeal very well.

Alloy Wheels

For instance, here you can really express your individuality, with a choice of sporty and distinctive two-tone exterior options and a wide range of wheel styles as well, that allow you to create the ideal soul mate that will help you stand out from the crowd.

For instance, for your wheels, you have a choice of 8 options, including, for example:

• 235/45R 18" Alloy Wheel - A type (Black insert)
• 235/45R 18" Alloy Wheel - B type (Silver insert)
• 215/55R 17" Alloy Wheel (Machine finished)
• 235/45R 18" Alloy Wheel - C type (Dark metallic grey insert)
• 235/45R 18" Alloy Wheel - D type (Red insert)
• 205/60R 16" Steel Wheel (Silver painted)
• 205/60R 16-Inch Alloy Wheel (Silver painted)
• 235/45R 18" Alloy Wheel - E type (Metallic alloy)

Body Colors

These are then supported very nicely with some very new chic colours, along with time-tested favourites - meaning that you get to choose from a colour palette that will bring out the artist in you to customise your car to your style as a result.

For instance, here you can choose from:

• Clear White (1D)
• Bright Silver (A3D)
• Titanium Gray (IM)
• Black (9H)
• New Vanilla Shake (AYB)
• Acid Green (AE3)
• Mustard (AYE)
• Newport Blue (KU9)
• Toffee (ANB)
• Inferno Red (AJT)

Two Tone Colors

• Clear White + Inferno Red (AH1)
• New Vanilla Shake + Black (AH2)
• Newport Blue + Clear White (AH3)
• Inferno Red + Black (AH4)

Roof

Moving to the roof, the flat roofline of this SUV not only contributes to the car's spacious feel but also allows for an easy roof rack installation as well - making it very practical.

Here, you can also choose from contrasting roof colours, adding to its overall character as well - please see above for the options you can select here.

Roof Rails

This SUV even comes with integrated roof rails that can help you carry additional luggage up to 165 lbs in weight as it does so - while accessories like crossbars are also available to help you fit a roof box with ease.

Rear

Then, moving to the rear, the tall tailgate and vertical rear lights continue the unique design theme here.

It also has a wide boot opening, which makes loading and unloading larger items, from pushchairs and wheelchairs, really easy and straightforward, while the rear bumper adds a hint of ruggedness to it as well.

LED Rear Combination Lamps

Soul’s signature LED rear combination lamps also give you outstanding visibility in both day and nighttime conditions as well, along with a serious dose of ultramodern style as they do so.

Tailgate

Soul’s funky and distinctive backpack-styled tailgate conveys an innovative and wide rear mage for a truly unique on-road presence.

Black high-gloss rear bumper

This stylish bumper adds a sleek touch to the rear of the car, complementing its overall look.

Body color rear bumper

The rear bumper matches the car’s body colour, creating a seamless and modern design.

High-mounted Brake Lights

Lastly, in regards to the exterior, drivers behind you will be able to clearly see you thanks to the KIA Soul's high-mounted rear lamps, which are also available with LEDs for even more visibility and style as well.

Interior Design

Moving inside, the interior of the Kia Soul is a combination of modern design and practical functionality.

For instance, here, you get a surprising amount of space for a car of its size and a lot of interior comfort for everyone on board as well.

For instance, high-quality materials and thoughtful touches create an inviting atmosphere throughout.

When you get in, it all starts with:

Adjustable Front Seats

The front seats of the Kia Soul, for instance, are designed to give you comfort and support as all as a good driving position as well.

With plenty of headroom and legroom, even taller drivers will find it very spacious.

For instance, here the seats are very well-cushioned, giving you a very pleasant experience overall, whether you are commuting or on a long journey, and it really doesn't matter.

Rear Seats

Moving to the rear, your passengers in the back will also appreciate the generous space they get there, especially with the supportive back seats, which can also be heated as well.

This is due to its tall roofline, which is much taller than the likes of a Renault Captur, a Hyundai Ioniq, or a Volkswagen 3, for instance, and gives your passengers plenty of headroom as a result.

All the while, the seats offer you a good level of comfort for both adults and children alike, making it a very practical choice for families or those who often have multiple tall passengers as well.

Boot Space

Moving to the cargo area, the boot gives you a lot of practical space for daily use, from 315 litres up to 1,339 litres with the rear seat area laid flat - 24.2 cubic feet with all seats in place and 62.1 cubic feet with the rear seats folded for example.

Its square shape here also makes loading and unloading your items very straightforward, especially if you need extra room, as the rear seats fold down very well to accommodate larger items - adding to the car's overall practicalness in the process, for example.

Push Button Start

The unique position of the engine start / stop button at the front of the floor console next to your great shift lever gives you a very easy way to start and stop the car, along with giving it a bit of a modern and sporty touch in the process as well.

USB Charging Socket

You also have multiple charge devices to choose from with console-mounted power outlets and a built-in USB charger at the inside and back of the front console centre armrest box as well to allow you to always keep your devices charged and on the go when you need them.

Panoramic Sunroof Power Tilting and Sliding

With the Sport model, you also get a Panoramic Sunroof, which has a power tilting and sliding function, which ends up, in our opinion, giving you a great way to brighten up the cabin that little bit more – all at a simple touch of a button as well.

Dashboard

Looking at the dashboard this is both very stylish and user-friendly, with controls that are logically laid out - making them very easy to reach and operate.

The clear instrument panel and intuitive infotainment system, for instance, give you a driving experience without overwhelming you with lots of different features hidden behind a complex touchscreen or buttons as well.

Supervision Cluster with 4.3” TFT-LCD

Taking centre stage of the dashboard is also a high-tech supervision cluster with a 4.3" TFT-LCD that also displays a comprehensive range of vehicle information that you need to know.

This is ideal for people who are not looking for an overlay or complicated tech setup as well.

ECM mirror

Looking at the rearview mirror, a noteworthy feature here is that it automatically dims the harsh glare of reflecting lights from the drivers behind you to help give you the best visibility and safety during nighttime driving as well - all without you needing to do anything yourself.

Portable flashlight

This handy detachable flashlight also automatically recharges when mounted on the wall socket as well, while also serving as an interior lamp for the rear boot area when you need it.

Spacious Boot

When it comes to the car's boot space as well, the all-new Soul gives you a class-leading luggage capacity of 685 litres with the rear seats up, and it also has an enlarged rear hatch opening width and height compared to other cars in its class such as a Mazda MX-30 for instance, with a full-folding rear seat, and 60:40 folding as well, to give you more space if required as well for items of almost any shape or size.

Then lastly, looking at the boot, the car can also come with an easy-to-fix cargo net, which uses conveniently located hooks to prevent your items from rolling around in the boot space while you are driving as well.

Covering shelf trim

A separate, partitioned-off space can also be created to store away your valuable items out of sight from prying eyes with the car's rear covering shelf trim as well.

Cargo Storage Compartments

The KIA Soul also comes with a handy partitioned tray that is located under the floor at the rear of the vehicle and which is the perfect place to store emergency safety items, such as first aid kits and car cleaning supplies for when you need them, but without them getting in the way as well.

Cooling Glove Box

Cool air from the air conditioning unit of the car can also be vented into the glove box, creating a mini-cooler - which is ideal for helping to keep your drinks or snacks cool especially in the warmer days of the year as well.

Seat side tray

Moving on to another handy little feature that you won't find in most cars is a flip bin that is located on the side of the front passenger seat - which gives you additional space for storing away small items very neatly as well.

Centre Console Storage

The centre console can also support dual cup holders, a 4.5-litre storage bin under the armrest and a 1.1-litre front tray for small items, all of which give you a lot of storage space on the whole just in the front.

Upholstery

Inside and out, the all-new Soul is meant to be a clear expression of your individuality, and that is especially clear when you look at the upholstery options available.

From traditional, understated palettes to vibrant hues that really do a great job at being able to reflect your youthful spirit, there really is an interior seat colour scheme that’s just right for you.

For instance, here you have to choose from:

Seat Colors

The EX trim, for instance, gives you a good build quality with a choice of 3 earthy interior seat colour schemes in high-quality woven or knit cloth - or even optional leather upholstery - that really does a great job at creating a soothing and refined cabin ambience and overall look and feel at the same time.

For instance, here you have 3 options to choose from, including:

• Gray Two Tone (Lime Gray + Ebony Black)
• Black One Tone (Ebony Black)
• Brown Two Tone (Tundra Brown + Ebony Black)

Umber Package

For an added touch of class, this soothing natural brown colour package also features Nappa leather seats and colour accents on the door armrests as well, and careful attention was also paid to the selection of top-quality seat materials that are also available to give you a level of high-end chic style that rarely seen in cars of this class as well in our opinion.

Audio

For your entertainment system, the KIA Soul comes with a lot of audio features including a Harman Kardon stereo and a 10.25-inch touch screen in the high-end models.

For instance, here you have:

Integrated Air Vents and Tweeters

The front side air vents are also seamlessly integrated with the spherical, high-mounted "floating" tweeter audio speakers as well - giving you a stylish extension of the circular theme found throughout the whole interior as they do so.

Aux, iPod®, USB Connectivity

You can also use either the AUX port or the car's Bluetooth connectivity functionality, or connect your cable to the car's USB ports to get plug-in and play functionality to play your favourite music from a variety of mobile storage devices such as iPod®, iPhone®, or iPad®, or even stream them from the likes of Andriod Auto, or Apple CarPlay for example .

Standard Audio System

With a mono-TFT LCD for excellent visibility, this advanced audio system features radio and MP3 audio file playback, so you can choose the option you want to use most.

Sound Mood Lamp

When you also set the car to music mode, the front door speaker trim lights will also pulsate in red to the beat of the music, while in mood mode, the lights change colours automatically at regular intervals to help you create a cabin space that you want to spend time in.

High-tech Audio System

A 4.3-inch colour touchscreen also gives you excellent visibility and is easy to operate while also including a rearview camera display and high-end radio and MP3 controls to make the selection of your station that bit easier as well.

Audio remote control

Lastly, when looking at the audio option for this car, it comes with very intuitively mounted controls on the steering wheel that allow you to easily adjust the audio volume and change stations, all without the need of taking your hands from the wheel as you do so as well.

Comfort Features

We know that you will want to spend as much time as possible in your new Soul.

That is precisely why it is more than evident that KIA has gone the extra mile to make sure that you and your passengers can relax and enjoy the ride with many safety features - from hands-free keyless entry to a heated steering wheel, to name a couple.

Form ore noteworthy features, here we have, for example:

Panoramic Sunroof

With one simple touch, you can add to Soul's feeling of interior space while letting in a lot of light for you and your passengers with the car's panoramic sunroof, for instance.

Improved Ability to Get in and Out

Here, the Soul's seat cushion height and the distance between the cushion and roofline have also been optimised by KIA to make getting in and out of the all-new Soul a breeze for people of all heights and disabilities as well.

Ventilated Front Seats

Another handy feature is the ventilated front seats, which allow both you as the driver and your front passenger to have ventilated seats that really improve your level of comfort very well.

This is due to warm or cool air being blown through the seat and backrest cushions, preventing perspiration from building up and adding to the comfort, especially for long drives in the summer, we should note here.

2nd Row Seat Warmers

Your rear seat passengers can also stay cosy and warm on cold winter days thanks to two-step heated seats on the rear seats - a feature that even high-end SUVs don't tend to come with.

8-Way Power Driver’s Seat / Lumbar Support

You also have here some very conveniently located controls that allow you to electronically dial in your ideal seating position while a 2-way adjustable lumbar support lessens your fatigue on long journeys as well.

Models

The KIA Soul comes in 4 main models, which consist of, for example:

• KIA Soul 1
• KIA Soul 2
• KIA Soul 3
• KIA Soul 4

But how do they differ, and what does each one give you when it comes to standard features?

Well, these can differ in a number of ways, such as for example:

The new range-topping Soul ‘Sport’ Features Over The KIA Soul 3

The Sport model also gives you unique 18” F-type alloy wheels, 17” front disc brakes, a twin exhaust system, LED front fog lights and stylish Xenon headlights as well.

The features on the interior of the ‘Sport’ are equally impressive, as these include, for instance, leather seats with orange stitching, a stylish D-cut steering wheel with perforated leather trim - and you also get the convenience of a heated steering wheel as well.

Other unique features of this range-topping model also include heated front and outer rear seats, which are perfect for cold starts, and the driver and front passenger seats also include the convenience of a 10-way electric adjustment as well.

• 18" F type Alloy Wheels (235/45R)
• LED Rear Fog Lights
• HBA, Lane Keep Assist & Lane Departure Warning System

Available Colours:

• Quartz Black (Premium Paint)
• Titanium Silver (Premium Paint)
• Wild Orange (Premium Paint)

Engines

Looking at its engines, in Europe, the Soul is only offered as an electric SUV with a good regenerative braking functionality, whereas elsewhere in the world, it is also offered both Kia Soul 1.6-litre petrol engines and diesel engines. Consequently, the all-new Soul is available in the UK, and it has a wide range of responsive yet efficient electric engines to choose from, coupled with advanced 6-speed gearboxes.

Soul EV Urban Trim

For instance, here, the Soul EV 'Urban' trim comes equipped with a 39.2 kWh EV powertrain, which has a very efficient battery pack that can produce 395 Nm maximum torque, which allows the Soul EV to achieve a top speed of 97 mph & a 9.9 second 0-62 mph time.

The 'Urban' model also gives you an impressive 252-mile city driving range and a combined driving official range of 171 miles, ensuring you can go the distance with confidence as a result.

Soul EV Explore Trim

Whereas the top-of-the-range Soul EV Explore trim comes equipped with 64.8 kWh Long Range EV Automatic powertrain.

This battery pack is then ideal for those who frequently go on long journeys, as it can give you a city driving range of up to 402 miles and a combined driving range of 280 miles.

The 64.8 kWh battery also gives you a higher maximum speed of 104 mph and accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in just 7.9 seconds - providing you with really good performance capabilities as a result.

Consequently, as you can see whichever combination you choose, you will add some spice to your commute.

Electric Car Charging Speed

If you opt for the KIA Soul electric, then charging the KIA Soul EV 64 kWh from empty to full takes about 9 hours and 23 minutes with a standard 7kW home charger - perfect for overnight charging.

For faster charging while on the go, the Kia Soul EV 64 kWh can also use a rapid charger with a speed of up to 77kW.

This allows the battery to go from 20% to 80% in roughly 53 minutes - enough time for you to stop off at the services for a quick coffee and take a rest break, for example.

Organ-type Accelerator Pedal

The Soul also comes with the Organ-type accelerator pedal, which moves along the same natural plane as your foot for more comfortable use - especially on extended journeys.

6-speed Manual Transmission

Furthermore, the car also features improved gear shifting performance, fuel efficiency and durability, thanks to its 6-speed manual gearbox, which also provides a more sporty and engaging drive as well.

6-speed Automatic Geerbox

This compact, lightweight unit then gives you a strong and smooth shifting ability, while the manual mode is also positioned next to the driver for ease of use if you decide to switch as well.

Driving Modes with Flex Steer

For your driving modes to help you improve your handling depending on the type of road you are on, you can choose from 3 driving modes – Normal, Comfort and Sport – all of which can help you fine-tune your steering feel depending on the UK road conditions and your preferences as well.

Safety Features

Like all of Kia’s new generation of cars, the all-new Soul is available with a host of advanced active and passive safety technologies that give you ultimate peace of mind under all driving conditions.

For instance, some of its more noteworthy ones here for example consist of:

Front and Rear Parking Sensors

With these, any obstacles at the front and rear of the vehicle of the car that you may not be able to see are automatically detected, and an audible alert sounds inside the car with increasing intensity as the car approaches them to let you know to stop before damage may occur.

15-inch Disc Brakes

You also get some pretty robust 15-inch disc brakes that give you some very powerful braking performance as well as a sporty touch to Soul’s profile image in the process.

Driver, Passenger, Side, and Curtain Airbags

A 6-airbag system then gives you protection for all your occupants in the case of a crash, and this can be very effective at reducing injuries from certain collisions due to how this has been designed.

VSM (Vehicle Stability Management)

The car's VSM helps to make sure that the car stays stable when accelerating or braking suddenly – especially on wet, slippery, and rough roads, for example.

HAC (Hill-start Assist Control)

The HAC system then prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards when at a standstill on an upward incline by gently applying the brakes for up to two seconds while you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator, for instance.

BAS (Brake Assist System)

BAS greatly reduces the stopping distance during sudden braking situations by applying maximum brake force when needed.

Adaptive Cruise Control

With this ACC, you can then easily adjust your cruise control settings without removing your hands from the wheel with very well-placed and designed buttons on the steering wheel to help you determine how far in front of you you want the ACC to get to other vehicles on the road.

Lane Departure Warning System (‘Sport’)

When tiredness starts to set in, this intelligent assistant will then help you stay in your lane.

For instance, if a car detects lane drift is occurring, the instrument cluster alerts you if you begin to move off course unintentionally to give you time to take correct measures to avoid an accident from drifting into the car next to you by accident.

High Beam Assist (‘Sport’)

The Soul’s high beams are automatically dipped for you when headlights of oncoming cars and rear lights of vehicles in front of you are detected.

This saves you from having to manually switch this on and off and from dazzling other drivers by mistake as well. </p;>

Blind Spot Detection (BSD) – ‘Sport’

The BSD then uses state-of-the-art sensors to monitor the side and rear of your car to keep you aware of vehicles entering into your blind spots.

For instance, here, you will receive visual alerts on the Soul’s outside mirrors, and, if necessary, you will hear an audio alert as well alerting you to a car in your bling spot to make you aware.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) – ‘Sport’

When backing out of a parking space, the car can also have a sensor that detects and alerts you to vehicles approaching from the left or right to help you know when to stop to avoid a collision from occurring as you reverse out.

Dimensions and Metrics

Reliability and Awards

Regarding reliability, the Soul is classified as a very reliable car, with over 1 million cars sold since it was first launched in 2008. It has also won many industry awards that factor in this.1

Furthermore, you also get high-quality body paint, which really does have long-lasting protection and shine for your new Kia.

It also comes with superior corrosion protection and a 12-year warranty against rust from the inside out as well.

Car Insurance Groups

Looking at the Kia Soul's insurance group classification, this can vary depending on the specific model and engine type you decide to go for.

Generally, Kia Soul models fall into insurance groups ranging from 11 to 15 mark, making them relatively cheaper to insure.

This relatively low grouping means that insuring a Kia Soul is often more affordable than ensuring higher-performance vehicles and SUVs.
