2010 Kia Soul Overview

Introduction

The Kia Soul is a trendy five-door "urban crossover vehicle" based on the Kia Rio. The styling, standard equipment, value price, and overall usefulness, all contribute to make the Soul very appealing, especially to the youth market.

The Soul is available in four trims, Soul (base), Soul +, Soul ! (exclaim), and Soul sport. The front-wheel drive, five-passenger Soul (base), is powered by a 122-hp 1.6-liter four cylinder engine with power delivery through a five-speed manual transmission only. The Soul +, Soul ! (exclaim), and Soul sport, are powered by a 142-hp 2.0-liter four cylinder engine with a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. Standard safety features include six-airbags, electronic stability control system with traction control and anti-lock brakes, active front head restraints, and a tire pressure monitoring system.

This vehicle is a brand-new entry from Kia.
