The Soul received a pleasing redesign for the 2020 model-year. Here at Kia Marin, we highlight the differences between the 2020 Soul and 2019 Soul.
The 2020 Soul retains the boxy shape of the 2019 Soul, but it differentiates from its predecessor with many design upgrades. This includes a larger front grille, a new headlight configuration, front fender detail lines, roof rack mounting points, wraparound taillights with a boomerang shape, and slim daytime running lights. Also, the C-pillars have a design that’s meant to look like airplane wings, as well as a new “Soul” graphic. Additionally, the 2020 Soul offers two new trims: GT-Line and X-Line.
