The 2020 Soul is designed to be customizable to convey just about any sense of style. And with varying combinations of trims and options, including the GT-Line Turbo, the X-Line and the EX Designer Package, it accomplishes just that.

See how the Soul changes: The GT-Line Turbo captures high performance for driving enthusiasts with a turbocharged 201-horsepower engine and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission; the X-Line expresses off-road-inspired styling for urban adventurers with a rugged body kit; and the EX Designer Package crafts exclusive design traits for chic-seekers with available 18-inch wheels and a two-tone roof treatment. But the options go even further than that.

Advanced Technology Modernizes the Soul

New-age technology is a must for new vehicles, and this year’s Soul over-delivers. It has an available 8-inch HUD², a standard 10.25-inch wide center touchscreen display with split-screen functionality on the EX and GT Line Turbo trims, available dual auto climate control and an available wireless smartphone charger.³ You can also set the mood with an available ambient lighting system that changes colors and patterns based on several settings and synchronizes to the music you play.

Tech features aren’t just for enjoyment, though – the Soul’s driver-assist technology helps you drive smarter with Forward Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Rear View Monitor and Smart Cruise Control.⁴

Performance Upgrades Fuel the Soul’s Combination of Drivability, Power and Efficiency

Built on a new platform for improved dynamics, the 2020 Kia Soul also places emphasis on improving the way it rides. Even better, that smoothness doesn’t come at the expense of strength or fuel economy: The Soul comes with a standard 147-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that can connect to a six-speed manual transmission for 25/31/27 city/highway/combined EPA-estimated mpg⁵ or an Intelligent Variable Transmission for 27/33/30 city/highway/combined EPA-estimated mpg.

And, as mentioned earlier, the beefier GT-Line Turbo Soul comes with a 201-HP 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that connects to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission for 27/32/29 city/highway/combined EPA-estimated mpg.
