There have been some updates for the 2024 Kia Soul EX. Kia Soul EX may be offered with front wheel driving system only, but it has its own versatility. Instead of being sold as a hatchback (with its roomy five seats arrangements), the vehicle may be offered as a functional crossover. The vehicle has a nice combination of high efficiency, reasonable price, and appealing design.
The Redesigned Elements
Many people find the Soul to be unique and attractive at the same time. It has nice combo of spacious cabin, athletic exterior, and its own unique sleek styling. Not to mention that the powertrain department is quite promising although not entirely breathtaking. The body has its own signature profile that looks striking and different.
For the interior, the cabin is comfy and plush. The front seats are roomy with many automatic features. Cargo area is also spacious and the space can be added up when the (rear) seats are folded. The Soul is basically an affordable vehicle that is perfect for families. Even with the redesign touchups, the Soul will remain accessible and purchasable.
Powertrain and Performance
The upcoming 2024 Kia Soul would be running on inline four unit with 2.0 liter capacity as the standard design. This unit is able to deliver 147 hp and 132 Nm of torque with CVT as the standard and also front wheel driving system. For the upcoming Soul, Kia won’t be offering manual gearbox. As a result, it is able to tackle the city traffic because it won’t cause the front wheels to exert too much.
The steering may be heavier when compared to the similar hatchbacks comparison, but adding the weight within the Sport driving mode is able to improve the vehicle’s ability to remain stable and smooth. The Soul is fun to drive although it is big (and it has 18 inch of wheels). Another option would be the turbo four unit that is able to generate 201 hp. It comes with auto dual clutch 7 speed transmission, delivering 195 Nm of torque.
Price and Release Date
The Soul EX is set to come with a starting price of $20,400. However, it won’t come with auto emergency braking, although it comes with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and 8.0 inch touchscreen technology. The Soul S would be the next higher trim, with tag less than $23,000. It comes with the standard features that most people like and enjoy, including better materials for the seats, wireless smartphone, active safety function, and others.
