2025 Kia Soul

The 2025 Kia Soul's exterior choices fit many driving styles. The base model features 16-inch steel wheels and smart adaptive headlights. The S variant enhances the ride with 16-inch alloy rims and heated, power-adjustable mirrors.

The sporty GT-Line has 18-inch alloy wheels, a sunroof, and an eye-catching center exhaust. The EX finds a middle ground with 17-inch alloy wheels and heated mirrors. You can also add the new Soulmate Special Edition for this trim, which includes 18-inch sport wheels, a two-color roof, and black trim at the bottom.

Don't worry, the 2025 Kia Soul still has its iconic box-like shape. Now with a stylish black roof option and a redesigned front, this model is sure to stand out in the city or on long trips.

This compact crossover maintains its engine configuration from the previous year. Open the hood, and you'll see a responsive 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that can produce 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. This engine is compatible with Kia's Intelligent Variable Transmission, similar to a continuously variable transmission, and powers the front wheels exclusively, as an all-wheel-drive option isn't available. This mix hits the sweet spot between agility and efficiency. It's perfect for city driving but packs enough power for highway trips, showcasing the Korean manufacturer's dedication to making practical, efficient cars.

The 2025 Kia Soul offers both efficient mileage and nimble handling. It sips fuel, getting 27 mpg in urban areas and 33 mpg on highways, with a 30 mpg average. The EX trim does even better, reaching 29 mpg in metropolitan settings, 35 mpg on highways, and 31 mpg overall. This vehicle shines in cities, and its small size and quick steering make it easy to zip through tight spots and busy parking areas. With an acceleration of 0 to 60 mph in about eight seconds, the Soul is ideal for urban navigation but is less responsive on open roads. While not the fastest, it excels in providing a comfortable ride. Its robust frame and finely adjusted suspension absorb shocks, ensuring a pleasant journey even on uneven terrain. In town, this urban runabout is a star performer, making daily drives a breeze.

Inside, the 2025 Kia Soul offers ample space for five passengers, with 41.1 inches of front legroom and 38.8 inches in the back. Cargo space starts at 24.2 cubic feet behind the rear seats and expands to 62.1 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down.

Technology features include an 8-inch touchscreen in the LX models, while higher-end trims come with a 10.25-inch display and built-in navigation. All models include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Additional options include heated front seats and a Harman Kardon sound system. The Soulmate Special Edition enhances the interior with an umber color scheme and a mix of faux leather and cloth seats.

Other features include mood lighting, wireless phone charging, and multiple USB ports. Some trims allow you to start the vehicle and set the temperature remotely for additional convenience.

The 2025 Kia Soul includes Kia Drive Wise technology to keep you safe. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist helps prevent accidents, while the lane-keeping system ensures you stay on course. The Soul also has systems that detect driver fatigue and prevent rollback on hills. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alerts are available on higher trims, acting as extra eyes to keep you safe.

In case of a collision, the vehicle is equipped with six airbags. The GT-Line Tech Pack offers additional features such as automatic brakes at intersections and assistance for long highway drives.
