The 2024 Kia Soul is available in four different trims, LX, S, GT-Line, and EX. All models feature a 2.0L 4-cylinder, making 147 horsepower with an Intelligent Variable Transmission. Generally, though, the Soul is pretty miserly with its fuel as it can achieve up to 35 mpg on the highway while still giving you plenty of power to pass.
Even base Kia models are pretty well-equipped and the Soul LX is no exception. Some surprising standard features are available 16-inch wheels come as standard equipment as does an 8-inch touch screen with Android Auto and Apple Carplay, Bluetooth connectivity, USB port, a backup camera and steering wheel mounted audio and cruise controls.
Mid-level S models build on the LX by adding a 10.25-inch touchscreen, Blind-Spot Collision Assist, body-color outside mirrors, Drive Mode Select, Lane Change Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning, and Remote Keyless Entry.
The EX trim features a power sunroof, heated side mirrors, 17-inch wheels, heated front seats, voice activated navigation, and wireless device charging.
Stepping into a GT-Line trim level adds a 12V power outlet, 18-inch alloy wheels, dual center console USB charging ports, turn signal indicators in the mirrors, and a leather wrapped steering wheel and gearshift knob.
Safety features across the lineup include active lane departure, forward collision mitigation, front pedestrian detection, a driver attention alert and a traffic sign information system.

The Kia Soul rolls into 2024 with minimal changes.
The Kia Soul competes in the increasingly popular subcompact crossover class of vehicles amongst competitors such as the Toyota C-HR and the Honda HR-V. More and more, buyers are opting for compact SUVs and hatchback vehicles in place of traditional family sedans. Vehicles like the Kia Soul provide versatility and passenger carrying capacity without paying huge drawbacks in fuel economy, space or comfort. The 2020 Soul starts at around $17,500 with a standard equipment list and drivetrain warranty that warrant it a second, maybe even third look.
