2022 Kia Soul Overview

Exterior

The unique design of the 2022 Kia Soul gives this small SUV a big personality. Its ultra-slim wrap-around headlights, bold lower grille, boxy profile, and sporty rear-end styling. The Soul creates a distinctive road presence that’ll get you noticed wherever you go in Ohio.

Interior

The Kia Soul outshines the competition for a vehicle in the subcompact SUV class with its deceptively spacious cabin. It offers ample space to seat five people in comfort, along with up to 24.2 cubic feet of room for luggage. With the 60/40-split rear seats folded down, you have a 62.1-cubic-foot cargo area. Moreover, with the available dual-level cargo board, you get even more flexibility for carrying your gear.

Power and Performance

The Kia Soul’s compact size makes it easy to navigate the Streetsboro or Cleveland city streets and get into the tightest parking spots. The Soul’s lively performance makes it fun to drive when you head out on the Ohio back roads. Standard power for the Soul is provided by a responsive 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels. It’s mated to a seamlessly shifting intelligent variable transmission.

Under the hood of the Soul Turbo is a spirited 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a smooth seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This powertrain generates 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque for a thrilling driving experience. In addition, the Soul Turbo provides secure and poised handling with its sport-tuned suspension, while the larger front and rear brakes ensure confident stopping power.
