Kia Soul 2016

Hatchback Mileage 111,000 km

The 2016 Kia Soul is a compact “hatchback-crossover” with an unconventional design and a practical interior. It is available with two gasoline engines: a base 1.6 L (≈ 130 hp) or a more powerful 2.0 L (≈ 164 hp). The Soul’s cabin is spacious for its class — plenty of room for passengers in the front and rear, with a high roof adding comfort, and seating that is convenient for city driving and parking. Another advantage is the practical trunk and flexibility — the rear seats can be folded down for extra space. Fuel economy: with the 1.6-liter engine, about 24 mpg city and 30 mpg highway, or ~26 combined; with the 2.0, slightly higher (~24/31/27). The Soul offers plenty of features: multimedia system, air conditioning/climate control, comfortable seats, and in higher trims — leather interior, quality audio system, and everyday conveniences. In summary, the 2016 Kia Soul is affordable to run, practical, and comfortable for city and daily use. Downsides: some may find it lacking in “premium” feel, and — as with any compact car — long-distance comfort depends on road conditions and trim level.
