2023 Kia Soul

The 2023 Kia Soul lineup consists of four trim levels, each showcasing a redesigned grille, a refreshed front bumper, reshaped lights, and an updated front fascia. On the LX, this new exterior pairs with rear privacy glass and a keyless entry system. The S sits atop 16-inch alloy wheels, while the GT-Line gets sport wheels measuring 18 inches. This model also has trim-exclusive body styling and a sunroof. The top trim is the EX, which also lets you take advantage of a sunroof and features intricately designed alloy wheels measuring 17 inches. Every Soul stands in a crowd with colors like Inferno Red, Surf Blue, and Steel Gray.

No matter what Soul model you choose, you'll enjoy a 147-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 132 pound-feet of torque. These impressive numbers mean that the Soul can go from zero to 60 mph in 8 seconds. Kia's fuel-saving technology makes the Soul's engine as efficient as it is powerful, helping the Soul get up to 33 mpg on the highway.

Inside the Soul's five-seater cabin, you'll find a high-positioned driver's seat and a minimalist-designed dashboard that makes it easy to drive without distraction and enjoy unobstructed views. The LX comes equipped with an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the S gets a 10.25-inch display, a wireless device charger, and a power-operated driver's seat featuring lumbar controls. With the GT-Line, you'll enjoy a leather-wrapped steering wheel with an ergonomic flat bottom and a leather-wrapped shift knob. The EX offers front seats with heating, a dual-level cargo board, and a cargo cover.

When you take the Soul's wheel, you'll experience smooth acceleration and straightforward handling thanks to an intelligent variable transmission that seamlessly shifts through gears as it enhances engine response. An agile front-wheel-drive system helps you zip around busy city streets and conquer tight corners. No matter where you're going, you'll notice how the Soul's fine-tuned suspension minimizes noise and impact to make your ride smoother and more comfortable.

The 2023 Kia Soul gives you peace of mind with its forward-collision assist system, which utilizes front-mounted radars to sense pedestrians and vehicles and provides additional braking support when it detects an impending collision. A blind-spot collision warning notifies you when a car enters your Soul's blind-spot zones, while a rear cross-traffic monitor can detect approaching traffic when you're pulling out of a driveway or parking space. Use the navigation-based smart cruise control to set your preferred cruising speed, and the system will lower or increase the speed depending on changes in traffic.
