Kia Soul Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2018–2022) — Third Generation
The third-generation Kia Soul brings a distinctive upright shape to the five-door hatchback. When choosing yours, consider how the transmission suits your daily driving and which equipment features you will use most.
Kia Soul engine and transmission choices include the gasoline, front-wheel-drive 1.6 MT, 1.6 AT and 1.6 DSG. Among these examples, the manual gives you direct control over gear changes, while the automatic reduces effort in traffic. The DSG uses an automated manual gearbox; assess its low-speed response during a test drive.

Classic and Comfort are Kia Soul trim levels available with the 1.6 AT, giving you equipment choices within the same technical version. Compare the individual car’s comfort, infotainment and parking features to decide what suits your routine, since the transmission designation alone does not tell you what equipment is included.
