2022 Kia Soul

Kia’s latest recall affects its Seltos and Soul compact SUVs and is prompted by engine damage that could result in a stall or fire.

As Hyundai recently did, Kia also has now announced an anti-theft hardware update. The upgrade is free to owners of affected vehicles at Kia dealerships nationwide.

The revised Soul will be available in LX, S, EX, GT-Line trims and only one engine: the base 147-horsepower, 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder.

Many brands are now making their soft-road crossovers a bit more butch — and in some cases, genuinely more off-road-capable. Here’s a roundup of all of the latest quasi-off-road trims out there.

In addition to its new, more stylish badge, Kia also plans some refinements and feature updates for the rest of the lineup. Here’s a look at what else is coming from the automaker in 2022.

The 2022 Kia Soul gets some minor styling tweaks, and most trims receive a larger dashboard touchscreen.
