Why it stands out
The 2016 Kia Soul stands out because it combines quirky styling with a practical, value-focused package. Kia’s buying guide describes the Soul as a subcompact hatchback with a funky personality, and it also notes that the model helped shift Kia’s image towards something more appealing while still being affordable. For buyers, that mix of character and usefulness is a big part of the appeal: it is a small car that does not feel anonymous, yet it is still meant to be easy to live with.
For 2016, the Soul falls within the second-generation model’s run, which kept the original formula but made the shape look neater and more SUV-like. The guide says the chassis was slightly longer, wider, and stiffer, and that Kia promised a quieter cabin, better performance, and suspension upgrades for a smoother ride. It also highlights a cargo area with 532 litres of space, plus a cabin that gained a more high-end feel through circular design elements and extra soft-touch materials. In Canada, the 1.6-litre engine made 130 hp and 118 lb-ft of torque, while the upper trims used a 2.0-litre engine with 164 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque.
That said, the 2016 Kia Soul is not without compromises. The buying guide notes that earlier models are slow, and it also flags some concerns over reliability and recalls. Even so, the Soul’s combination of distinctive design, generous interior room, and strong value makes it easy to understand why it remains a compelling used-car choice.

I love everything about it except that it doesn’t have the same safety features other cars have like blind spot detection and a backup camera.

This model year is perfect for me, as I really wanted to retain the hatchback quality, while getting a slightly larger interior than my old Toyota Matrix. It feels so much larger inside, much more rommy for a tiny female, but even my brother, who is very broad shouldered feels comfortable. This 2016model DOES NOT have a screen, which I like (the 2017s do). The two front seats are comfortable and there are4 cup holders in the front of the car, which are a PAIN when there are not enough. The radio, cruise control, hands free talking on my phone are all on the steering wheel, two 12v, aux and USB plugins in the dash/radio area plus the Bluetooth capability make more opportunities for hands free answering/listening. The boot is not large and a tray can be lifted out to access the factory tire repair kit and there is NO SPARE. The interior is two toned cloth on this model, but I wouldnt have it any other way! I think this car is a good value in comparison to say a Hyundai sonata. The size is very similar, but its just short and has a little bit more interior personality. I also looked at a Kia Sorento, and I did not like it nearly as much as I like the Soul. The only thing that I would want in a car going forward, is, some sort of screen that pulls away from the back two seats towards the opening of the hatchback, just to cover up what things you have in the trunk however it was pointed out to me and Im learning to be okay with the fact that the back windows are tinted so dark that it is nearly impossible to see the contents of what you have in the boot of the car. Overall, Im really excited about owning this car! Its really a fairly compact car fits in small car spaces, its very roomy on the inside and has enough power to do the job I need it to do. Drive around town and occasionally take me out of town.
