2020 Kia Soul Review

If you have had your eye on the Kia Soul, now may be the right time to make a move. The 2020 Kia Soul introduces the line's third generation. The entire exterior has been redesigned to take its appeal to a new level. While the Soul continues to have its signature boxy look, the flat roof extends farther to the rear to alter the vehicle's profile. In combination, the side windows and rear have been reshaped. At the front end, the rounded hood shows off a wraparound character line. The narrow LED headlights follow the established curvature, and the black grille has a chrome surround. Improvements extend under the hood with an updated base powertrain.

The 2020 Kia Soul has a 2.0-liter, inline-4 with a dual overhead camshaft, and it gives you 147 horsepower. The entry-level trim combines this powertrain with a 6-speed manual transmission, and the mid-range trims pair it with an intelligent variable transmission. The powertrain in the top trim is unchanged. This is a turbocharged variant that is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and it gives off 201 horsepower.

The interior of the Kia Soul has also been modernized. Depending on the trim selected, the ambient lighting boasts sound-reactive technology. Your 2020 Soul may also come with a Harman Kardon sound system, 10-way power adjustments, heated front seats, wireless charging, a 10.25 display screen, smart device integration, an advanced climate control system with multiple zones, UVO technology, a remote access app, a fold-down rear row and more. The safety suite has also been revamped. Some of the assistive features loaded into the next-generation Soul include reverse assistance with cross-traffic monitoring, lane-keeping assistance, blind spot sensors and alerts, a forward collision warning, smart cruise control, and other technologies.

As a new-generation model, the 2020 Kia Soul has exciting improvements throughout. Across its trims and powertrains, the Soul has incredible appeal to a wide range of drivers.
