In this car review, our team at Central Kia of Plano will help you decide whether it meets your needs. As you read, you can study the specs and see what the Soul brings to the table!

2021 Soul: Pop the Hatch for Cargo

The 2021 Soul is ready for any adventure. With 60/40 split-folding rear seats, it’s spacious enough for your friends and all their luggage. Those in the back seat will enjoy 38.8 inches of legroom—quite roomy for a car this size. We’re sure that 24.2 cubic feet of space will come in handy for cargo.

Need to pack even more for your travels? Fold the back seat and more than double your capacity to 62.1 cubic feet. That leaves you enough room for a wide-screen TV or even some small furniture items! Take more along for the ride in the Kia Soul.

This hatchback has a concealed under-floor storage area, too, so you can keep smaller items hidden out of sight. You can also keep your cargo as secure as possible, wherever you’re headed.

Connectivity & Creature Comforts

The Kia Soul may be a small vehicle, but it works overtime to keep passengers cozy in a people-centered environment. Adjust the available 10-way power driver’s seat to your liking when you slide in and make the most of that power lumbar support.

Keep the fresh air flowing with an available power sunroof. It has a retractable sunshade, too, helping to relieve you during the hottest parts of the day. Slide it open and let the light flow in; it makes your ride feel breezier and roomier than ever!

Want to stay connected on your drive? The UVO infotainment system has standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. A large 10.25-inch touchscreen is available as well.

A Turbocharged Performance

There are two gas engines available in the 2021 Soul. The base engine, a 2.0L 4-cylinder, cranks out 147 horsepower and will reliably move you from Point A to Point B.

If you want more thrills, upgrade to the Soul GT-Line Turbo. It uses a 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder with 201 horsepower on tap! You’ll have a sporty 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission as well. These powertrains both come standard with front-wheel drive.

The Soul can make your drive more efficient too. Get up to an EPA-estimated 27 city/33 highway MPG with the base engine equipped and go farther on less fuel.¹
