Kia renews its Soul for 2020

The Korean automaker’s updated wagon was recently revealed, and we’re delighted to see that it retains its unique character. Although the nose is stubbier than before, the opposite end is quite stunning.

The new Soul is about two inches longer than before and the distance between the front and rear wheels increases by more than an inch. There’s also a more than 25-percent gain in cargo room behind the rear seat. Both non-turbo and turbocharged four-cylinder engines return, but there’s still no all-wheel-drive option.

The Soul EV returns with an electric motor that makes 201 horsepower. The output is identical to the Kia Niro hatchback’s output. Range is also expected to mirror the Niro’s 239 miles.
