Under The Hood

You can match this engine with either a six-speed manual transmission or an intelligent variable transmission. With the former, the Soul manages up to 25 mpg in the city and 31 on the highway.* With the latter, fuel economy improves to 27 mpg in the city and 33 on the highway.*
The Kia Soul is also available in the GT-Line trim, which gets you a 1.6-liter dual overhead camshaft 16-valve inline four-cylinder engine with turbocharger for increased performance. With this engine, which is paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Soul generates 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque while still managing up to 27 mpg in the city and 32 on the highway.*
Alternative Power On The Horizon
For 2021, Kia plans to roll out an all-electric variant of the Kia Soul. An EV powertrain is not currently available for the 2020 Kia Soul.
