The 2019 Kia Soul is an urban vehicle that is as comfortable in the city as it is on the open highway. The signature Soul design is instantly recognizable and makes blending in all but impossible.
“The second-generation Soul urban hatchback elevates the iconic vehicle to new heights without compromising the original spirit and fun to drive vehicle that it was originally intended to be,” said Robert Staffieri, Director of Marketing, Kia Canada Inc.
The Soul’s available sport bumpers and side sills with signature red accents complement its wide-looking stance and more aggressive styling. Soul’s headlight design provides enhanced clarity and projection – especially when paired with the available Xenon HIDs and LED daytime running lights.
Soul’s unique design leaves you with an abundance of cargo space. And its standard 60/40 folding rear seats take that capacity to the next level, making sure there’s room for whatever you need. When you start driving a Soul, you have an array of fun and sporty wheels to choose from, including two available 18-inch styles.
Soul’s available turbocharged 1.6L GDI engine and quick shifting 7-speed dual clutch transmission combine into fun-to-drive agility and thrilling power to do way more than get you from Point A to B. Available with three distinct settings (Normal, Eco, and Sport), Drive Mode Select allows you to customize the performance of your Soul by modifying transmission shift points, throttle performance and steering responses. Meaning whatever the conditions, or your priorities, the output of your Soul can be dialled in to match.
Inside, liberal applications of available soft-touch materials are found on the instrument panel, centre console and door panels. Details such as available leather-trimmed seating with improved cushioning, lateral and thigh support, and the use of high-gloss piano-black trim pieces on the centre console, doors and dash elevate the Soul’s interior to new levels of sophistication.
Driving can’t be all fun unless there is peace of mind for the driver and passengers, and on that front, the 2019 Soul really delivers with a number of available tech features designed to keep you safe, secure and well entertained:
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) can assist and apply full braking power if you can’t stop in time—preventing an accident or minimizing the impact of one.
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) takes your safety and the safety of other road users to heart. Onboard cameras help to monitor the position of your Soul within its lane and delivers a warning if you deviate from this predictive path without the use of a turn signal.
Blind Spot Detection System (BSD) constantly monitors your surroundings to prevent you from colliding with vehicles approaching in your blind spots by providing prompt notifications when necessary.
Advanced Smart Cruise Control (ASCC) senses the distance and speed of the vehicle in front of you and will alter your speed to help to maintain a safe distance between you and other vehicles in changing traffic conditions.
Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ means smart voice-activated features like navigation, voice-to-text actions and music control keep your hands on the wheel and focus on the road.
