"With a muscular look and a lot of interior space, the Kia Soul looks great inside and out."
with its angular look when published divided opinion in 08, this latest Kia Soul is more in line with the other stylish compact SUVs on the market.
There is no doubt but that the outstanding feature of space for people and luggage is offered. Although the design on one of Kia space-age concept cars, the second generation of the soul is based, may his abundant space is based on the same foundations as the Kia Cee credited.
The five orders range from the self-explanatory Start to Maxx. For less than £ 13,000, including the entry-level soul keyless entry, tinted glass, DAB radio, an onboard computer and all safety and performance of the top-end Maxx. The only major missing feature in Home is an eight-inch touchscreen nav sat with European mapping, the trim on the mid-range Connect Plus and stands up available.
For this reason, we recommend the Connect Plus, which is just over £ 16,000 and also has a reversing camera, cruise control and 17-inch alloys are available.

Regarding the engine choices are It limits choices. The soul is limited only trim with the 1.6-liter petrol or diesel power is available, with the launch only on gasoline. This engine is slightly more than the diesel, 130bhp produced compared to the 126bhp of the latter.
provided a six-speed gearbox for all orders available trims with a six-speed automatic on the mid-range diesel Connect, Connect plus and Mixx option.
The manual diesel returns 46.3mpg on to fuel that is significantly than the 33.2mpg of fuel. Compared to its rival the Nissan Juke, the Kia is significantly less efficient: The 1.5-liter diesel Juke returns to 64.2mpg and emits just 104 g / km of CO2 (for £ 20 per year road tax) compared to 132g of the Soul / km (£ 130 per year).

To go is the soul a lot of fun and handles surprisingly well, despite his height - and lean too much in bends. Visibility over the hood is good given that you sit quite high, but some may be the backseat window
While the soul boat is a bit too small not particularly larger than that found its competitors -. As the Skoda Roomster, Skoda Yeti, Renault Captur and Citroen Cactus - the high roof actually makes a distinction when the rear seats are folded down
Kia owners benefit from an industry-leading seven year warranty, so there are none. Problem with the reliability of the soul. However, the car was awarded NCAP only four out of five stars for crash protection of euro, despite the large number of security features that come as standard.
