Kia Soul Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2017–2018) — Second Generation Restyling
The facelifted second-generation Kia Soul combines a boxy shape with five-door hatchback practicality. When choosing one, consider how the transmission suits your daily driving and which equipment you will use regularly.
Kia Soul engine options include the gasoline 1.6 MT, 2.0 AT and 1.6 DSG, all with front-wheel drive. The manual gives you direct control over gear changes, while the automatic reduces effort in traffic. The DSG uses an automated gearbox; assess its response during parking and slow-moving traffic on a test drive.
