Since it arrived on the scene with its furry hamster friends back in 2008, the Kia Soul has been a hit with drivers of all ages. With style, an array of standard features, and a low price tag, what’s not to love? Now, the Soul has even more soul with a new powerboost from the 1.5L Turbocharged Engine, which was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show last week.
The engine offers 201 horsepower, which is a significant increase from the 130 horsepower in the base Kia Soul and 164 in the upgraded engine models. This engine will also be paired with a new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Other updates to the Kia Soul Turbo model include the Android Auto and Apple CarPlay in the UVO infotainment system, a flat-bottomed steering wheel, and red accents.
We will let you know if and when the Kia Soul Turbo arrives here at DELLA Kia!
