Why it stands out

The 2018 Kia Soul stands out because it blends quirky styling with everyday usefulness. Kia’s buying guide describes the Soul as a subcompact hatchback with a boxy, distinctive shape, and says it helped shift the brand’s image toward something more appealing while still value-conscious. That combination of personality and practicality is a big part of its appeal: it is meant to be different without becoming difficult to live with.

For 2018, the Soul was in its second generation, and the guide notes that this version kept the original formula and footprint while looking neater, with smoother sides and more balanced proportions. It also gained a slightly longer, wider, and stiffer chassis, plus suspension upgrades aimed at better handling and a smoother ride. Cargo access improved too, with the tailgate opening six centimetres higher and the cargo area offering 532 litres of space. Inside, the cabin was upgraded with more circular design elements and extra soft-touch materials, giving it a more polished feel than the original model.

The 2018 model also brought useful equipment and a broader feature set across the range. The guide says the 1.6-litre inline four-cylinder made 130 hp and 118 lb-ft of torque, with a six-speed manual standard and a six-speed automatic optional, while upper trims used a 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder with direct injection that made 164 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque. For this model year, the Soul lost its manual transmission as well as the base configuration it came with, and forward emergency braking and adaptive cruise control became optional. That leaves the 2018 Soul with a strong value proposition, but also with some compromises: the guide notes that earlier models are slow, and owner feedback points to concerns such as tight pedal spacing and the lack of a spare tire.
