What types of used Kia Soul cars are there?

A used Kia Soul combines the size of a crossover with MPV-like traits, making it an incredibly popular and practical family car.  

It's available with the choice of petrol or diesel engines, and the latest generation is electric-only.  

There are also plenty of different trim levels on offer across the used market, but they all benefit from the high-quality manufacturing that Kia has become known for.

Although there are plenty of other models to consider in this category, few offer the levels of interior space the Kia Soul gets.   

Popular Kia Soul trims 

Over the years, Kia has offered loads of different trims for the Soul. Here are the most popular: 

> Kia Soul 3 – a mid-spec trim with alloy wheels, heated leather seats, sat-nav and cruise control 

> Kia Soul Maxx – this has all the features you could possibly want, replacing the ‘First Edition’  

> Kia Soul Urban – the model most would be happy with, with SUV-like styling with added cladding on the bodywork 

Kia Soul history 

Believe it or not, the original idea for the Kia Soul’s shape came from a caricature of a boar wearing a backpack, but since its launch, it’s seen a few different forms and generations. 

> First-generation Kia Soul (2008-2013) - a square design that prioritises space, fuel efficiency and comfort 

> Second-generation Kia Soul (2013-2019) - this one grew in size and offered a few different engine options 

> Third-generation Kia Soul (2019-present) - with a much more futuristic design, the latest Soul is available with both petrol and electric powertrains 

What features does the Kia Soul have?

The Kia Soul’s interior is functional and easy to use.  

The entire cabin is very well built, and many models come with an eight-inch touchscreen with sat-nav and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.  

As for overall interior space, thanks to the Soul’s high roofline there's plenty of headroom, and the rear seats offer plenty of space for three adults.  

The boot is a similar size to most hatchbacks at 315 litres.  

As a guide, some of the newer Kia Soul cars for sale come with adaptive cruise control, LED headlights, keyless start and a digital instrument cluster. 

Is the Kia Soul reliable?

Kia is known for building reliable cars, and the Soul is backed by the brand’s seven-year/100,000-mile warranty.  

It’s worth finding a slightly newer Kia Soul for sale that has some warranty remaining for extra peace of mind.

How much does the Kia Soul cost to run?

Petrol and diesel models are reasonably efficient, but the electric model, which can do well over 200 miles between charges under the right conditions, offers the greatest potential for reduced running costs.  

Older electric models have a reduced range, but they’re just as efficient.  

Who is the Kia Soul suitable for?

Most buyers looking at a Kia Soul for sale will value the interior space provided by its boxy style, including families, older drivers and dog owners.  

Its main rivals include the Honda HR-V, Toyota C-HR and the Ford EcoSport.
