Not sure how I feel about it.
Power comes from a 2.0L with a 6MT or a CVT auto. I hope it's not the same 2.0L in the Elantra Touring; that engine gets pretty whack fuel economy.
1.6T and DCT optional.
EV model also available.
Kia is dumb for not adding AWD, especially with the new "X-line" Soul.

The styling looks a little similar to that new electric truck.
For the size these things are, I'm surprised they still don't get better fuel economy.
Lol, as soon as I saw the first pic with the red one, I thought they did it... they turned the Camaro into an SUV. :lol:
Seriously though, I love-hate the Soul. I like the styling and the roominess, but then I was given one for a week while Focus was getting repaired after a fender bender. Terrible steering, terrible power, terrible gas mileage. It's a cheap and functional transportation appliance.
Yea the current Soul is the first rental car I returned the same day. The steering was absolutely terrible. I know H/K can do decent steering though as the Genesis sedan and my Optima are OK.
Still no AWD :facepalm: EV version sounds slick, hope that powertrain makes it into the Optima.
That red one actually looks pretty nice. The rear of that red one looks like a devil with horns (the taillights). Quite aggressive.
The old Soul was a rare sight on European roads, well German roads. Most consumers here opt for the smaller Kia cars which are probably not sold in the US.

I was travelling pretty often for work for awhile, and Hertz wasn't giving me good vehicle choices. I would 100% pick a Soul over an Accent, Elantra, or Versa. That might not be saying a whole lot, but there are much worse vehicles on the road.
I don't mind it, it looks more interesting that the previous gen imo.
I thought only gerbils drive these.

Definately hamsters.

It does look interesting; at least noticeable. I see/notice a number of them around here.

A jackalope is just a jack rabbit with horns. A horny jack rabbit is redundant.

In that case, they were probably dingos.
It's still a great commercial.

Too tall to be rodents. Must be furries.
Edgy, urban furries!
Definitely furries
