Kia Soul
NEXT STAGE: Freshen in 2022
Kia is refreshing the boxy 2023 Soul with a new grille, larger touch screen, more standard safety tech and a streamlined menu of trims.
The third-generation Soul was redesigned on an all-new platform for the 2020 model year. An electric variant was planned for the 2021 model year, but Kia nixed it for the U.S., citing supply issues, and instead prioritized the Niro EV subcompact crossover.
For 2023, the 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine is the only powertrain offered for the Soul. It's paired with a chain belt-based continuous variable transmission and delivers 147 hp and 132 pound-feet of torque. The Soul lineup is trimmed to five models: LX, S, EX, GT-Line and GT-Line Tech. The Turbo variant with the 201-hp turbocharged engine and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission has been dropped. The X-Line is also discontinued.
NEXT STAGE: Redesign in 2025
