In the important North American market, the Korean Kia makes a 'break' from the rule of electrification at any cost and launches the new edition of the urban runabout Soul with the only 4-cylinder 2.0-liter 147 Hp petrol engine without a hybrid section , which also replaces the previous 201 HP 1.6-liter turbo alternative.

This confirms that there is a 'hard core' in US users who continue to favor ICE engines and which manufacturers cannot give up.   

Look at the photos

Kia Soul, for 2023 the urban runabout is even more original

"Soul defined a whole new segment in compact cars when it first entered the Kia range in 2009 - commented Steve Center, Coo and executive vice president of Kia America - and continues into model year 2023 with lots of fun, practicality and style as always. The basic shape remains, which is what the over 75,000 happy buyers of Soul loved last year, with an increase of almost 5% compared to sales in 2020 ".

This model - it should be emphasized - will not be imported into Italy.   

The new Soul 2023 is set to reinforce this trend with a revamped design inside and out, with even more advanced technologies and feature-rich finishes.

The X-Line and Turbo versions disappear from the range for the US market, with an offer that focuses on LX, S, EX, GT-Line and GT-Line Tech, each with renewed features.


    The bold but functional design of the Kia Soul evolves and for the 2023 model year it offers a completely new front, with redesigned LED headlights and fog lights, as well as the daytime running lights and direction indicators.

Also new are the 17 and 18-inch alloy wheels and the aesthetic treatment of the tail area.   

Inside - underlines Kia - everything that has worked better has remained while what has changed has served to make comfort and functionality even better.

The 10.25-inch touchscreen stands out, which is standard on all configurations except for the Soul LX.


    They are now standard on all major new ADAS versions such as Forward Collision Avoidance Assist-Pedestrian, Lane Keeping Assist + Lane Following Assist, Driver Attention Warning, Lane Departure Warning and High Beam Assist.

But also the Blind Spot Collision Avoidance (BCA) and the Rear Cross Collision Avoidance (RCCA).
