While the Kia Soul comes standard with all the classics that drivers would expect (radio, speaker system, etc...), the new Kia Soul also offers an impressive selection of available tech on upper trims. While the first four trims come equipped with a seven-inch touch screen infotainment display, on the EX and GT-Line turbo trims, drivers can look forward to a standard 10.25-inch touch screen infotainment display. The 10.25-inch display isn't just larger, it also includes premium navigation, SiriusXM Radio, and HD Radio functionality. Additional tech features include Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, speaker lights with multiple ambience themes, wireless phone charging technology, and USB/ auxiliary inputs.

The new Kia Soul offers up two engine options, with the base engine being a 2.0-liter inline-4 engine. Drivers that are looking for a bit more pep behind the wheel can opt for the available 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine that produces 201 horsepower and 195 foot-pounds of torque. While the base 2.0-liter inline-4 engine works in unison with a six-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission, the 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine works with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
