2020 Kia Soul consumer reviews

The 2020 Kia Soul is a fun car to drive. With it's sleek design and fun approach it offers a lot to it's consumer. From sport mode that causes you to move faster on streets and highways to the convenience of apple car play, you'll have everything you need.

This car met all of my needs. Safety features, right size of the vehicle, cargo space, and right price. It was just what I want.

I loved my 1st Kia Soul and really love my 2nd Kia Soul. Just the right size and style. Perfect vehicle for my lifestyle. I am so glad I purchased my Kia Soul.

This is my 2nd Soul & I love this one even more. The turbo is such a kick, fun to drive. Latest technology is great. I got Inferno Red & it's gorgeous. Lots for a great price.

This car meets all my needs love it. I would tell anyone please get a soul really nice car the sale people was nice also 👍

I love all the features on the 2020 Kia Soul with Turbo that I purchased. The interior is comfortable and very entertaining to my grandchildren who sit in the spacious back seats. My only issue is with the take-off from a stand still. It seems there is a hesitation before getting into gear and going. Dealership could find nothing wrong with the vehicle so I'm stuck with the problem. It's not that big of a problem through. I figure it makes me adhere to the "2-second rule" (wait 2 seconds before preceding through a green light if you are the first car in line).

SO FAR THIS KIA SOUL MEETS OUR NEEDS, COMFORTABLE, GOOD SIZE AND LOVE DRIVING IT. GREAT CHOICE VIRGIL!! THERE IS NOTHING THAT DOMINIQUE DOESN'T KNOW AND CAN'T EXPLAIN TO YOU

Having owned a Soul for many years it is the most reliable vehicle I've owned. The new S model has great safety features normally found only on vehicles costing a lot more money. Very handy for a person my age.

I purchased the 2020 Soul S after months of review. My decision was based on wanting a reasonably priced vehicle with minimal safety features (Blind Spot Warning, Front Collision Warning, Lane Keep Assist) and probably a few others I haven't figured out yet. These features are included in the S trim (second least expensive), but surprisingly are not included in all of the higher trims. That said, some of the higher trims have even more safety features. I also wanted a vehicle that I didn't have to bend down to get into/out of. No, the Soul isn't a full-fledged SUV; you'd even have trouble arguing it's a crossover, but at least you don't have to bend to get into/out of it. The CVT transmission is the secret sauce in this car. Here's why: The 147 HP 2.0 Litre engine is, let's be real, ho-hum. I have the same engine in my 2013 Hyundai Accent SE h/b with a 6 speed m/t. The engine is great when the car is traveling at highway speed (and gives great MPGs). However, it's "aspirational" at best when starting from a stop. The CVT manages to perfectly harness the available horsepower and makes this car shine. Unlike my 2013 Accent, it has no hesitation merging onto a freeway or passing another vehicle - even though the Soul is 1,000 lbs heavier. Note that the gas mileage (up to 33 MPG highway) is pretty impressive for a vehicle weighing 4,000 lbs. No complaints, although I'll admit purchasing the S trim (at a great price point) involved many trade-offs/compromises. For instance, for the first time in years, I now have a car without fog lights, heated mirrors, turn signal indicators in the mirrors, a privacy cover for the hatchback, Sirius radio capability, etc. Little things that are available only on higher level trims at considerably higher price points. I did my homework so there were no surprises--I knew that I would be giving up these features before purchasing but decided I could live without them. The 60/40 split back seat is comfortable for 3 adults but lacks cup holders or a folding center armrest in the S trim. As for reliability, this is my third new car purchase from the Kia/Hyundai family. I've never had a problem and appreciate the incredible 10 yr/100,000 mile power train warranty. With a warranty this good, why would you even think of buying an extended warranty? IMO, I don't see the need for one when purchasing a new Kia/Hyundai.

After owning my 2011 Kia Soul I was sold on value and reliability. The 2020 S model has a more powerful engine, sportier exterior, and quieter ride. Fun to drive in the city and on the highway.
