The Kia Soul is fun, sporty, and exciting, but it’s also an efficient machine. To prove that, we’ll show you the 2019 Kia Soul fuel efficiency and range in this comprehensive breakdown. Find out just how far you can go on a tank of gas with this efficient crossover.
Engine options for the 2019 Kia Soul
There are three trim levels available for the 2019 Kia Soul and each of them has its own engine. The base trim comes with a 1.6-liter engine and is available with both a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic. The Soul Plus has a 2.0-liter engine with a 6-speed automatic. Finally, the top Soul Exclaim has a 1.6-liter turbo with a 7-speed dual clutch transmission.
Because of these options, there are actually four configurations that have to be considered when it comes to efficiency even though there are only three engines. We’ve listed city, highway, and combined mpg figures for all the configurations below, though you may find that there are some surprising similarities between some of them.
Having efficiency is great, but it means nothing if you don’t have a big enough fuel tank to back it up. This is a Kia though, so you know it has a fuel tank that can go the distance.
This Kia Soul has a 14.2-gallon fuel tank that will enable you to drive far especially with those impressive mpg numbers.
Now that we know the fuel tank capacity and the EPA-estimated efficiency numbers we can estimate how far you can go on a single tank of gas. We’ll run down the numbers for in the city, on the highway, and a combined number to give you the best picture of your potential range.
