Since the first time the dancing hamsters crossed our screens and the Kia Soul showed up in the market we\u2019ve been in love with the quirky, funky, and cool look and feeling that make the Kia Soul what it is. This vehicle is somewhere between a small SUV and a large hatchback to be the vehicle that you want to drive. The Kia Soul is brand new for 2020 as it enters the third generation and makes the drive right on the road. You need to see what this vehicle has for you and your local Kia dealer is the place to go to learn what you want to about the Kia Soul.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A Better Drive for You from Kia<\/h2>\n

The all-new Kia Soul rides on a longer wheelbase and has a stiffer chassis to give you the improved ride you want to enjoy when you get out on the roads. This vehicle has the sophistication and impressive feeling you\u2019re looking for so that you can head out and take a great drive. The interior is quiet and refined to make sure you can enjoy a comfortable way to have the drive you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n

Upgraded Technology for the Soul<\/h2>\n

Sit down in the driver\u2019s seat of the Kia Soul and you\u2019re going to see a new 10.25-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system you want to enjoy. This screen is also where you\u2019ll see the feed for your navigation and phone functions that you make use of when you drive. You\u2019ll be able to connect to the infotainment system and enjoy the view of the apps coming through the Apple CarPlay or Android Auto system that makes it easy for you to have the sounds and the apps that you\u2019ll want to enjoy when you head out for a drive.<\/p>\n

The Standard Items of this Kia<\/h2>\n

Start at the base model of the Kia Soul, which is the LX trim and you\u2019ll have the features you want. This version gives you cloth seats, an adjustable driver\u2019s seat, air conditioning, six airbags, a seven-inch touchscreen, a USB port, smartphone integration, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. These are certainly the essentials you want when you take a drive, but you might want to spend a little more and add a center-console armrest and cruise control to this model so that you can have more of the items you want in the Kia Soul.<\/p>\n

Getting More from the Soul<\/h2>\n

You can move up to the next trim level and enjoy the Kia Soul with more features when you\u2019re ready to drive. This upgraded trim brings you LED front lights, smart key access, push-button starting, the 10.25-inch touchscreen, a navigation system, additional USB ports, dual-zone automatic climate controls, and heated front seats. If you move to the S trim, you\u2019re going to have active driving aids including lane-keep assist, blind-spot warning, and forward-collision warning. Move to the GT-Line and you\u2019ll see dynamic cruise control, collision warning, pedestrian detection, flashing speaker lights, and a head-up display.<\/p>\n

The Kia Soul is Powered the Right Way<\/h2>\n

There are three different power options for the Kia Soul to give you the power you\u2019re looking for when you take a drive. The base powertrain is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a CVT automatic transmission. This powertrain gives you 147 horsepower, 132 lb.-ft. of torque, and up to 35 mpg on the highway. The upgraded powertrain is made of a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This means you\u2019ll have 201 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque for the drive. You can also enjoy an electric model that has a 64-kWh battery pack and a driving range of 243 miles on electric power.<\/p>\n
