About the 2025 Kia Soul
The 2025 Kia Soul continues its reign as the urban champion, blending audacious, boxy aesthetics with genuinely practical dimensions. Beneath the hood, the efficient 2.0L four-cylinder engine delivers a spirited 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, expertly managed by the continuously variable transmission. This pairing achieves an admirable 30 MPG combined, making frequent stops for fuel unnecessary for drivers navigating cityscapes. Its taut dimensions—a nimble 165.2 inches in length and 63.0 inches in height—make maneuvering tight parking situations effortless. The Kia Soul excels not just in visual flair, but in providing a surprisingly spacious cabin, boasting 41.1 inches of front legroom for the driver, cementing its reputation as a peppy yet comfortable wagon ready for the daily grind.
