Kia Soul Engines and Transmissions
Kia Soul engine choices include gasoline versions such as the manual 1.6 MT and 2.0 MT, alongside the automatic 2.0 AT. These examples all use front-wheel drive. A manual gives you direct control over gear selection, while an automatic reduces the work of driving in stop-start traffic.
