Kia’s quirky and stylish Soul is one of the best-selling subcompacts in the country for good reason. This crossover SUV brings the excitement with its available turbocharged engine, exuberant design, and richness in features. Keep reading to learn more about some of the 2022 Kia Soul‘s features!

1. Available Turbo Model

While a punchy 147 horsepower inline-four engine comes standard, buyers looking for even more get-up-and-go have the option of going with the Kia Soul Turbo. This model gets a 1.6L turbocharged engine that generates 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque mated to an ultra-quick 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It makes for spry acceleration combined with the Soul’s low curb weight.

For a more performance-oriented experience, Kia also added sport-tuned suspension for more nimble handling and larger brakes for more stopping power. The Soul Turbo also comes with red accenting on the bodywork, chrome-tipped dual exhaust, and larger 18-inch alloy wheels.

2. Exterior Appearance Options

One of the many things about the Soul that makes it stand out is the range of appearance selections that help reflect the lifestyle of its owner. If you love roughing it outdoors, check out the X-Line trim that goes for a rugged appearance with its exterior body cladding, unique fog lights, and silver sating accenting.

Those who prefer a sportier look can go with the GT-Line, which features more aggressive front and rear fascia styling, exterior mirror housing painted in a high-gloss black, and a silver rear skidplate. You’ll also be able to choose from an available array of slick exterior colors like Mars Orange, Inferno Red, Neptune Blue, and Undercover Green.

3. Funky and Airy Interior

The Kia Soul knows how to keep the party going with its energetic interior that also offers great practicality and comfort. Available customizable lighting will help generate the ambiance you’re going for and speaker lights will pulse along with the music being played. The comfortable seating features high-quality materials and interesting options like Black SynTex and Gray Two-Tone Tricot Cloth.

Rear passengers have plenty of room to stretch out with over 39 inches of headroom and nearly 39 inches of legroom. With the 60/40 split seating folded down, there’s over 62 cubic feet of cargo space.

4. Outstanding Connectivity

Most trims will come with a large 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen that comes standard with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Bluetooth wireless capability. There are multiple USB ports and the available Harman Kardon Audio System includes an external amplifier and provides audiophiles with an incredible listening experience.

When you connect your smartphone to the Soul by using the Kia Access app, you’ll be able to start the car along with its climate control system and utilize Kia Connect Voice Assist to better locate points of interest. The 911 Connect feature can help contact emergency services when it detects deployed airbags and 24/7 roadside assistance is available to help keep you from being stranded.

Since its introduction, Kia’s Soul has become an icon of the subcompact segment. Owners love its flashy style and awesome value. Visit Koons Kia of Owings Mills today for a test drive!
