2017 KIA Soul

 

When you thought it wouldn't—it did!  All the good things about this very popular hatchback, like space, styling, comfort, and quirkiness, long list of standard and optional equipment remain the same.

 

Now for 2017, the new Kia Soul has hit another sweet spot with a dose of performance in the form of a 1.6-liter Turbocharged four banger.  The Soul has its first Turbo and the hamster got hotter. You can try one out with the friendly folks at Van Griffith KIA in your favorite color and style. 

Yes indeed, this is the most powerful Soul yet and elevated the fun factor in spades.  The Soul turbo punches out over 200 lively horses and delivers class-leading performance with 195 lb-ft of asphalt gripping torque between 1,500 and 4,500 rpm, which is right where you want it.  A big part of what makes it work so well is the new seven speed dual clutch transmission.  This Soul turbo engages faster off the line and up shifts quicker and more aggressively, which you will realize in your enjoyable test drive.  Don't worry as smiles are free of charge. 

If you are concerned about raising fuel cost, not to fret as this Kia Soul turbo manages 26 mpg in the EPA's city test and 31 mpg on the highway.  This Kia is truly a fine daily driver that will still get the attention it deserves.  Car critics and writers are already recognizing that the 2017 Soul is something to consider as the turbo and non-turbo alike still punch out what drivers want.  For example, Car and Driver recently gave the Kia Soul the Best Subcompact SUV Award in its “10 Best Trucks and SUVs for 2017”.  But don't take anyone's word for it and do your own due diligence with a test drive. 

You will appreciate the funky charm inside and out. Since you spend so much time behind the wheel, unless of course you are washing it again, you will quickly find out that this vehicle is as much fun to drive as it is to be seen in. The Soul's cabin is richly trimmed and so very spacious for your enjoyment; your passengers will love its leg and headroom.  In fact, the spacious rear seat puts shame to its competitor’s lack of space.  The Soul's cargo space has even more room. 

You and yours will also appreciate Kia's UVO's setup for communication, entertainment and safety that is so user friendly.  No help from your teenager here.  The new 2017 Kia Soul comes with improved performance, refinements, efficiency, good looks and a vehicle owners love to hug. The Soul still manages to be both fresh and genuinely attractive.
