The Kia Soul offers an updated design for the 2023 model year, leaning into its funky style more than it ever has before. Now, this compact SUV provides even more charm to accent your fun-loving lifestyle. Other highlights this year include more standard driver assist technologies across a simplified lineup. The 2023 Kia Soul offers a choice between four trim levels — LX, S, GT-Line, or EX.
The 2023 Soul is a versatile crossover in many ways, most notably in its interior space and functionality. The Soul has seating for five people with a passenger volume of 101 cubic feet. The rear seats can be split 60/40 so you can accommodate passengers and cargo at the same time. With the rear seat completely folded down, the 2023 Soul gives you a maximum 62 cubic feet of storage space.
For a supportive drive, opt for the available power-operated driver’s seat with lumbar support. Comfort is accessible for all when you upgrade to the available dual-zone auto climate control system. The EX trim features heated front seats, premium tricot cloth seat trim, and dual level cargo board and cargo cover.
The 2023 Soul is the perfect ride if you want a nimble, fuel-efficient commuter car that still offers plenty of space for shopping trips, DIY projects, and road trips.
Every trim of the 2023 Soul uses the same efficient powertrain. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is paired to an Intelligent Variable Transmission that conserves fuel usage in slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic. The powertrain achieves EPA-estimated fuel efficiency ratings of 28 mpg in the city, 33 mpg on the highway, and 30 mpg combined.[1] Now you can spend time in downtown Akron without worrying about draining the gas tank.
The 2023 Kia Soul rolls into town with a bold, updated exterior design characterized by a new grille with available LED headlights, refreshed front and rear fascias, reshaped Daytime Running Lamps integrated with turn signals, and available alloy wheels measuring 17 or 18 inches. You can also choose from the spectrum of vivid paint colors, which now include two-tone combinations with different roof colors.
For a more athletic ride, choose the decked-out Soul GT-Line, which sits on 18-inch Sport Alloy wheels. The steering wheel has a racing-inspired shape, while the black SynTex and cloth interior accented with red stitching offers comfort and style.
The GT-Line also offers updated technologies that make driving a dream. Systems include Smart Key with Remote Start, a 10.25-inch touch-screen display with navigation, and driver assist technologies including Blind-Spot Detection Technology and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist.
A high-quality sound experience is possible when you have the Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System on the Soul GT-Line. The system includes a center speaker, subwoofer, and amplifier. The LED speaker links sound and light for a unique listening and visual experience.
The 2023 Soul offers useful connectivity technologies and a large interface for toggling through your favorite content. An 8-inch touch screen display is standard as is smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Staying powered up is simple and clutter-free with the Soul’s available wireless device charger. Plus, you have multiple available charging ports to accommodate multiple devices or allow your passengers to connect their own.
Safety is prioritized in the 2023 Kia Soul with an array of standard technologies. These include Lane Keeping Assist, Forward Collision Avoidance-Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Driver Attention Warning, Rear Occupant Alert, a suite of airbags, Anti-Lock Braking System, Vehicle Stability Management, Electronic Brake-Force Distribution, and Electronic Stability Control.
