Kia Soul Review
Kia Soul in Peoria, AZ
New Kia Soul
The new Kia Soul has retained its interesting exterior. Its personality shines through its upright shape and interesting colors. However, it’s what’s inside that makes this subcompact SUV such a good buy.
Is it right for you? Get to know the affordable new Soul in this overview.
Performance
The new Kia Soul features a 147-horsepower engine known for its fuel efficiency. It includes an Active Eco mode for improving fuel economy. An idle stop-and-go system cuts fuel consumption in city driving. Front-wheel drive ensures a car-like handling.
Harnessing today’s best electronic capability, the intelligent continuously variable automatic transmission utilizes a torque converter to optimize the engine's 132 lb-ft of torque. This gives the Soul more grunt at low speeds and better passing power at higher speeds.
This subcompact SUV stands tall. It boasts 6.7 inches of ground clearance. Important exterior functions include automatic light control, high beam assist, and escort lighting for your approaches and departures from the vehicle. All 2024 Souls come with power-adjustable side mirrors and roof rack mounting points.
Utility
The 2024 Soul stands out in the realm of cargo area and utility, leaving its competitors behind. Initially, it provides a respectable 18.7 cubic feet of cargo space, similar to other vehicles in its class.
Yet, what sets it apart is its adaptable design. The owner has the freedom to customize the floor, expanding the cargo area to a generous 23.4 or even 24.2 cubic feet. This flexibility is complemented by convenient features such as bag hooks and dedicated cargo lights. A cargo cover is added on the EX trim.
With the second row of seats folded down, the Soul's storage capacity reaches a remarkable 62.1 cubic feet. This abundance of space is perfect for accommodating larger items like tents, bicycles, or numerous boxes, making it a versatile choice for those who prioritize utility and cargo room.

Interior
When you take a close look at this car from any angle, you'll see a well-thought-out design. Although it's categorized as a subcompact SUV, the Soul's unique design sets it apart by offering superior passenger comfort compared to its competitors.
For parents, the second row of seating is often a key consideration. The Kia Soul provides ample space with 38.8 inches of legroom. That tall roof allows it to have 39.5 inches of headroom, too. This is not your typical cramped backseat; it's large enough to keep teenagers content during your journeys.
Although it has a budget-friendly starting price, the new Kia Soul doesn't skimp on features. The steering wheel comes with controls that let you manage various functions with ease. Meanwhile, passengers in the back row benefit from dedicated air conditioning vents, ensuring everyone's comfort on the road.
Comforts on higher trims include a 10-way power chair, dual zone climate controls, and a wireless charger. Upholstery choices include a premium woven cloth, a rich SynTex, and a combination of the two.
This multi-textured design may be enriched by a distinctive contrast color stitch. The pillars and door panels may provide contrast color to add more style. For more information about trim levels, you may want to check out this 2024 model year review.
Technology
The driver's cockpit features an 8-inch touchscreen and a 6-speaker audio system. You can enjoy Bluetooth and HD Radio connectivity, as well as seamless integration with your smartphone via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
When moving up to the Soul S Trim, the driver's cockpit is notably exceptional for its class and price range. It boasts a centerpiece: a 10.25-inch touchscreen with built-in navigation. Starting the vehicle is a breeze with the convenience of a push-button ignition.
Another fun aspect of the Soul personality is its special lighting trick. With the Harmon Kardon system, the ambient lighting on the front doors can synchronize with the beat of the music.
Safety
The 2024 Kia Soul offers a truly affordable starting price. Yet it’s equipped with a comprehensive array of advanced driver assistance technologies. Forward collision avoidance systems go beyond mere alerts, incorporating active features like automatic emergency braking and steering assistance, tailored to the specific nature of the warning. Their collective purpose is to enhance safety by helping the Soul proactively avoid potential collision scenarios.
Drivers will experience reduced stress and heightened confidence with safety features like Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection, a Lane Departure Warning, and a Lane Keeping Assist. Other items include a driver attention warning and a rear occupant alert.
For those opting for the higher trims, there's an even more extensive suite of equipment. These additional driver aids are engineered to prevent the vehicle from becoming entangled in common side-crash situations. This includes the Blind Spot Monitor and Kia’s related avoidance assist. Parking maneuvers in busy places are less dangerous with the rear cross traffic alert avoidance assist.
For those seeking the utmost in cutting-edge technology, there's the option to upgrade to the navigation-based Smart Cruise Control-Curve. This anticipates every bend in the road and acts to regulate the speed accordingly.
