Advanced features and enviable performance: KIA Soul 2020

Risen from the east, KIA Motors has surely made a meritorious switch from being an unknown underdog car manufacturer to a global market leader in a little over 20 years. Something which laid its foundation as a cycle manufacturer now walks shoulder to shoulder with global leaders in the automobile industry. 

The humble, yet determined Korean manufacturer is praised for its affordability, outstanding quality and simplicity. Not to misunderstood simplicity with basic and unexciting, KIA Motors impresses its customers with its technology and features which have grown to match to that of their competitors.

The KIA Soul is another cool, comfortable, and fun to drive member of the KIA Motors family. KIA has done solid work when it comes to carving out some extra space in everything from door panels to convenient cubbies in the dashboard. There is an increase of 25 per cent in space from what you had experienced in the previous version of Soul.

This square-shaped hatchback prioritizes your comfort and leisure as luggage and shopping bags won’t be the only thing to appreciate the extra space, there is also a room for passengers in the front and rear. There is plenty of headroom. Occupants can easily find a comfortable space in the Soul 2020. It understands the urban lifestyle, thanks to its compact size and nimble handling you can easily zip the Soul into bustling traffic or small parking spots. 

The Kia Soul adjoins some extra fun and practicality along with everything that you have enjoyed in its quondam version. While there are no dramatic changes in the model as nothing explains giving away the successful blueprints that made 2019 Soul visually appealing, the 2020 Soul rides on an entirely different carcass. Gone are the days of wide-eyed headlight, a narrow light bar on the front gives Soul 2020 an impact-look chiming with the drivers strapping personality. 

Under the hood of this hatchback is a 1.6 liters engine paired with a six speed automatic transmission. This engine feeds more than enough power to the front wheels for everyday driving.  With a power of 123 PS / 6,300 rpm and a maximum torque of 15.4 Kg. m / 4,850 rpm. The improved Soul has a dynamic stance designed to abide by the laws of aerodynamics. It also features VSM (vehicle stability management) that ensures the car stays stable even in sudden brakes or acceleration situations. 

Your convenience and urge to be technologically updated is completely taken care of. With its appealing and desirable interiors, it offers a 7 inch display with a smart audio and Apple car play and Android Auto, USB/iPod connection, speaker lights, and Bluetooth with voice recognition, along with steering wheel mounted audio control buttons, cruise control and so much more.

Your safety is always a priority for KIA. It is equipped with front and rear parking sensors, rearview monitor for safe and peaceful parking, electronic stability control system, driver height adjustable seat, and 6 airbags to help protect occupants and potentially reduce injuries in the event of a collision. Overall aim of the security features is to make sure you have a sheltered and a delightful drive.
