Why it stands out

The 2016 Kia Soul stands out because it combines quirky styling with a practical, value-focused package. In the second-generation Soul, Kia kept the original’s footprint but gave it smoother sides, a higher front grille, and more balanced proportions, making it look less like a tall hatchback and more like a scaled-down SUV. It also gained a slightly longer, wider, and stiffer chassis, along with a quieter cabin, suspension upgrades, and a tailgate that opened six centimetres higher for easier cargo access. The result was a small vehicle with a lot of interior room and a more polished feel than its shape might suggest.

For 2016, the Soul’s appeal also came from its equipment and powertrain choices. The 1.6-litre inline four-cylinder made 130 hp and 118 lb-ft of torque, while the upper trims used a 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder with direct injection that made 164 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual was standard and a six-speed automatic was optional with the smaller engine. In Canada, the trim range included LX, EX, and SX, with features such as Bluetooth, heated front seats, roof rails, keyless entry, cruise control, a rear-view camera, leather upholstery, and 18-inch wheels depending on trim.

That mix of personality and practicality is what made the 2016 Kia Soul attractive to buyers. It offered distinctive styling, lots of room, and good value, while owners also tended to appreciate its spacious interior, fuel economy, comfort, and handling. The main trade-offs were that earlier models could be slow, and there were reliability and recall concerns to keep in mind.
