The 2016 Kia Soul is a compact crossover with a boxy design. It belongs to the second generation of the Soul series. This model was offered with two engine options: a 1.6-liter four-cylinder that produces 130 horsepower and a more potent 2.0-liter four-cylinder that churns out 161 horsepower. Both engines use a six-speed automatic transmission, with a six-speed manual available for the base trim. The Soul is only available in a front-wheel-drive configuration. It comes in three trims: Base, Plus, and Exclaim. Prominent standard equipment includes Bluetooth, a six-speaker audio system, and satellite radio, while a rearview camera, a 4.3-inch touch screen, and voice command recognition are optional. For safety, the Soul offers features like hill-start assist and vehicle stability management as standard, with options for forward collision warning and lane departure warning available.
