238 Used Kia Soul cars for sale

Yes, Kia offers the Kia Soul EV model, which rivals the Nissan Leaf and Hyundai Ioniq. It comes with a unique set of 16-inch alloy wheels and a lighter colour trim in its interior. The powertrain debuted with a 109 bhp motor, but Kia later introduced a 201 bhp electric motor with its 2019 Soul EV. The upgraded engine offers an increased all-electric range up to 280 miles. The introduction of the Soul EV marked the end of production for the Soul's petrol and diesel variants.

The Kia Soul may not be the most exciting ride in its category, but you'll undoubtedly enjoy a better driving experience if you skip over the debut model. Later Soul generations come with Kia Flex Steer, a steering system that lets you change the steering weight and responsiveness between two modes: Normal and Sport. The suspension was also improved after its initial debut, making the Soul much more stable while remaining planted on the tarmac.

If you go with the Kia Soul, you will have to do without this superefficient technology that's only available on a handful of Kia models. The diesel engine remains the most economical option, with a claimed fuel economy of 58.8 mpg. The 1.6-litre petrol follows closely behind, providing a solid 43.5 mpg, while the 201 bhp engine returns a modest 40.9 mpg. The diesel CO2 emissions rise from 204 g/mile to 251 g/mile with the Soul Sport.

Kia offers the Soul with only one 5-door body style. The Soul's unique boxy shape makes it sufficiently spacious, enough for 5 adults to travel comfortably. The driving position provides perfect visibility, and the adjustment positions for the seat and steering make it easy to get yourself comfortable in the driving seat for long journeys.

You get creative storage options in the Soul, including deep bins in the doors, a large glovebox and a centre console with cupholders and a chubby cubby. The Soul provides a boot capacity of 314 litres, not including the hidden storage compartment under the boot floor. Although the rear seats don't fold completely flat, you'll still get a generous 1,367 litres of cargo room.

The Kia Soul offers a class-leading 7-year/100,000-mile warranty, which is also transferrable with the change of vehicle ownership. New Kia owners also get a transferable 3-year/30,000 miles pre-paid Care-3 maintenance service package.

Kia Soul scored a 4-star safety rating in the Euro NCAP crash test. Unfortunately, it received a disappointing 75% score on adult occupants' protection. The main reason was the lack of an autonomous braking system in the tested generation. The good news is that subsequent generations now include this feature, so a new test would likely yield a much better safety score. Standard safety features that come with the Kia Soul include front and side airbags, Isofix child-seat mounts, electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes and tyre-pressure monitoring.
