The Kia Soul's compact, boxy styling combines the utility of a small SUV with the efficiency and driving refinement of a compact car.
Buying a car blends pragmatic and emotional factors. You know you need a car to do certain things, but you also have preferences about how your car looks and perhaps how its brand's image is generally perceived. You used to have to make sacrifices if you wanted something affordable and economical. Look at small, affordable cars of the past; it's a depressing set of subpar cars.
Automakers have ensured that, with a few exceptions, there are no more truly bad cars, and that extends to the economy-car segment. But even in this competent segment of vehicles, one car stands out from the rest with refined driving dynamics, a lower starting price than most of its competitors, and form and function delivered in equal quantities.
Meet the 2020 Kia Soul. You've probably seen the hamster ads, and you’ve definitely seen this boxy little hatchback on the road. Its particular combination of boxy design and compact size makes it something of a rarity. On the one hand, it competes with small hatchbacks like the Honda Fit and Volkswagen Golf. And on the other hand, you could legitimately cross-shop it against subcompact SUVs like the Subaru Crosstrek and Jeep Renegade.
To top it all off, its latest redesign makes the Soul look more futuristic than anything you’ll find from Tesla; it's truly one of a kind. Take a closer look at the 2020 Kia Soul, because few cars do form and function any better.
Boxy and bold styling cues have been the Soul’s calling card since its introduction in 2009. The second-generation Soul arrived for the 2013 model year with an evolution of the first-generation's styling. The third-generation 2020 Soul goes for a more futuristic rendition of styling cues familiar to the Soul. Traces of the previous headlight designs are present but in a more minimal execution.
Along the side, the blacked-out A-pillar continues from the 2020 Soul's predecessor, and the rear side windows have added angles, thanks to a plastic panel that creates a character line. This line runs from the rear side windows to the back of the vehicle, and while we’ve seen this design element employed in a growing number of new vehicles, the Soul is the first do it right.
Previous versions of the Soul had a useful, well-designed interior. It combined inherent utility with bold elements, such as the clusters that made up the front dash vents and speakers. The 2020 Soul is no different, as the side and front vents in the dash have tweeter speakers built into their assembly.
Trim levels for the Soul are LX, EX, EX+, EX Premium, EX Limited, GT-Line Premium, and GT-Line Limited. (Kia also sells a Soul EV, which is covered separately.)
The LX trim is pretty basic with 16-inch steel wheels with plastic covers, manual front-seat adjustments, one USB input, Bluetooth connectivity, keyless entry, power windows… and not much else. On the plus side, heated front seats and body-colour heated side mirrors are standard, and the base LX comes with a great 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Moving up to the EX Soul trim replaces the steel wheels with 16-inch alloy wheels and adds a heated steering wheel. It also adds a host of driver-assistance features such as blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-path detection, lane-change assist, and forward-collision warning and avoidance.
The EX+ trim adds features like 17-inch alloy wheels, LED lighting, and cloth and synthetic leather seats.
We drove the U.S. equivalent of the Canadian Soul EX Premium trim, which has 18-inch wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, push-button start, and an upgraded 10.25-inch infotainment system with SiriusXM satellite radio.
EX Limited adds rain-sensing wipers, advanced forward collision avoidance assist, a head-up display and Harman Kardon premium audio system, adaptive cruise control, leather seats with an 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat, ventilated front seats, and heated outboard rear seats.
GT-Line Premium and GT-Line Limited build on EX Premium and EX Limited respectively by adding sport bumpers and side sill accents, roof rails, and a sport steering wheel.
The higher-end trims are great, but CarGurus recommends the EX trim. It’s basically the second step up the model lineup, and it’s well-equipped for the price.
A 2-litre, 4-cylinder engine that makes power specs of 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque powers most trims of the Soul. Power gets sent to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Although the output figures for that engine appear low on paper, the CVT manages its power surprisingly well, ensuring decent acceleration. The Soul includes a Sport button and a manual mode, which will simulate the gear changes of a more traditional transmission.
Unfortunately, neither the manual transmission nor the 1.6-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission powertrain are sold in Canada.
Frankly, I wasn’t yearning for more power with the 2-litre engine. It showcased solid acceleration off the line, and it pulled well in both low-speed and high-speed situations. It also felt refined and remained relatively quiet under acceleration, which gives the Soul an upscale feel.
The Soul's ride quality separates it from most crossovers. It might have the cargo space of a small SUV, but it’s a compact hatchback by nature, and thus has a car's ride height. So despite its upright layout, it handles corners pretty well. The suspension effectively balances softness over bumps and firmness through turns.
The 2-litre engine and CVT return fuel consumption of 8.6 litres per 100 kilometres in the city, 7.1 on the highway, and 7.9 combined. In our week of combined city and highway driving, we observed fuel consumption of 8.0 L/100 km.
By its very nature, the Soul's upright, boxy shape makes it a unique, head-turning vehicle. But that boxy layout also pays dividends in cargo space. With the rear seats upright, the Soul offers 530 litres of cargo space. Fold those seats and the Soul has 1,758 litres. And its squared-off hatch shape works well for loading large items.
The Soul's five-passenger cabin also benefits from its boxy layout. The Soul has great front and rear legroom and tons of headroom. You'll sit more upright than you might in a Honda Civic, but if you can deal with that, you’ll be rewarded with plenty of usable cabin space.
All four doors have helpful compartments and cupholders, while the front doors have deep pockets for larger items. A large tray for keys and your wallet sits below the climate controls in the centre stack, and a little tray hidden in that space is perfectly shaped for your phone. The compartment between the front seats is also deep, and you'll find usable space and innovative storage solutions at every corner.
All trims of the Soul come with Kia’s UVO infotainment system, but the screen size varies by trim, with the LX, EX, and EX+ getting a 7-inch screen, and higher trims getting the larger 10.25-inch screen.
The standard touchscreen offers easy menu navigation, bright fonts and colours, and the benefit of hard buttons and dials that work seamlessly with the screen. In the Soul, Kia has bucked the recent trend of "floating" screens tacked on top of the dash in favour of an in-dash placement—one of the few conventional things about the Soul.
The system comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adding to its usefulness. This means you'll get access to your own music and maps app for navigation without having to commit to any high-priced options.
The larger 10.25-inch screen is quite the upgrade, taking up nearly all of the centre stack area. The screen is so massive in the Soul's compact interior that it pushes the conventional controls down below it. The colours and graphics are incredibly bright and vivid, and if your budget accommodates it, this is a fantastic upgrade.
Standard safety features on the Kia Soul include front- and side-impact airbags, a reversing camera, traction control, hill-start assist, and a tire pressure monitoring system.
Moving up to the EX trim adds driver-assistance features like forward-collision warning and avoidance, lane-keep assist, lane departure warning, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-path detection.
The range-topping EX Limited and GT-Line Limited get adaptive cruise control, a head-up display, and pedestrian detection for the forward-collision warning and avoidance system.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) rates the 2020 Kia Soul as a Top Safety Pick, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gives it a four-star safety rating.
The 2020 Kia Soul has an MSRP of $21,195 for the base model LX, while the CarGurus-recommended EX trim starts at $22,895. The EX+ starts at $24,895, while the EX Premium starts at $26,995 and the EX Limited at $28,995. The Kia Soul GT-Line Premium costs $27,595, and the range-topping GT-Line Limited starts at $29,595. Fees are $1,910 extra.
I often talk to folks that are in the market for a new car or SUV. Some just want affirmation of the vehicle they already have in mind, but others are really coming at it with an open mind. I ask those individuals what they need from a vehicle, and a great deal of the time, those needs could be satisfied by a hatchback, saving them money over a small SUV.
The Soul delivers all the utility of a small SUV, and even though it doesn’t offer all-wheel drive, neither do some self-described “subcompact crossovers” like the front-wheel drive Toyota CH-R and Nissan Kicks. The Soul provides a capable platform without up-selling you on something that it is not.
When it comes to value for money, it would be nice if Kia followed Toyota’s lead and made the Soul's driver-assistance features standard equipment. Toyota makes Toyota Safety Sense standard on its vehicles, including the economical Corolla.
But the Soul excels in other areas. This head-turning box of futuristic style delivers the driving dynamics and efficiency of a compact car with the cargo space and driving position of a small SUV. This best-of-both-worlds approach makes the 2020 Kia Soul a truly useful hatchback in a world filled with a growing number of pretenders.
