The Kia Soul entered the U.S. market only three years ago and quickly became one of the most awarded vehicles in its niche. For three consecutive years, the Soul has been the top-selling small SUV crossover in America, and we expect that trend to continue with the upcoming release of the 2018 Kia Soul.
Because of its tremendous popularity, changes to the 2018 Kia Soul are more like refinements rather than major overhauls. For example, there are no major updates to its styling nor are there any major upgrades under the hood. So what can we expect?
The most noticeable changes to the 2018 Kia Soul are happening on the front half of the exterior. The headlight profiles are being slightly redesigned and, similarly, the fog lights are inching slightly higher and extending closer to the sides. The rear half of the exterior is retaining the same styling as the outgoing model.
The interior seems to have escaped any detectable change, and those familiar with the previous model will feel immediately familiar inside the 2018 Soul. The overall handling will also feel familiar. The 1.6-liter 201-horsepower engine offers 195 pounds per foot of torque and is expected to reach a top speed of 124 miles per hour.
Because of the similarities between the 2018 Kia Soul and the previous iteration, the price is expected to be nearly identical. Fully loaded models can expect to sell for nearly $21,000, while the models lighter on features will likely sell for between $15,500 and $19,000.
The Kia Soul has become an increasingly common sight on the streets of Portland in recent years as it continues to grow its market share in the niche of small SUV crossovers. This trend will undoubtedly continue, and if you haven’t considered the Soul before, now is the perfect time to own this trendy crossover.
