2025 Kia Soul: A Design That Turns Head

The Kia Soul has always been known for its whimsical and lively design—something that continues for 2025. Its distinctive, boxy figure allows it to be in a class by itself on the road. This is the kind of car that doesn’t try to blend in. For that, we owe Kia a debt of gratitude. Sprinkled amidst today’s dreariness are a few items intended to please the Soul fans that make up the Kia faithful. New for this year is the Soulmate Special Edition, which has a bit of ruggedness to its style with two-tone paint, black trim, accents reminiscent of SUVs and striking 18-inch alloy wheels.

The Soul looks a bit like compact SUVs because it has a fairly high roofline. But, unlike compact cars, it has no feeling of being small or sandwiched.

Experience Comfort and Space with the 2025 Kia Soul’s Cabin

Once inside, you’ll be amazed at how roomy the Soul is. The boxy shape leaves plenty of headroom, and legroom is good both front and rear. Even tall passengers won’t feel cramped in the back seat. The cargo area is larger than expected for a car this size — 24.2 cubic feet behind the seats, and more than 62 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down.

The interior design is pure and simple, with controls that are easy to use. You won’t catch luxury-level materials here, but all of it is just where it should be and feels solid. The EX trim adds things like synthetic leather upholstery (nice and soft); soft-touch panels and an umber interior option give it a quality interior feeling. The Harman Kardon sound system with speaker lights that pulse along with your music is a fun, youthful touch.

Smooth Performance for Daily Travel

The 2025 Kia Soul has a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine under the hood that makes 147 horsepower and is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). It’s not quick off the line, but it has enough get-up-and-go for town driving and for merging onto highways. Riding around town or cruising gently over rough roads, the ride is smooth and stable (if you can overlook a bit of hopping on the highway in high winds). It steers easily too—really a big plus when parking and making those close turns.

The Soul has another advantage that’s often overlooked: it’s efficient too, averaging around 30 mpg across the board. Whether you’re driving to work or heading off for a weekend getaway, you can get where you need to go without worrying about gas stations. Inside, the comfortable seats and soft suspension make long drives easy on the driver (and passengers) as well.

The 2025 Kia Soul is Full of Features and Advanced Tech

Even the base model comes with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and other features that keep your favorite apps and music just a touch away. Buy up a trim or two and you’ll get a 10.25-inch touchscreen display as well as navigation, wireless charging, stop-start button and stain-resistant cloth seating—because we all know that sippy cups sweat. Audio and infotainment systems are fairly intuitive, with attractive graphics and responsive menus, plus physical knobs for quick access to volume and climate controls.

The EX and Soulmate trims come with such things as heated front seats, remote start and ambient lighting. These little niceties make the Soul seem more than the fully equipped city car that its price tag suggests.

Safety and Warranty That Deliver Peace of Mind

Kia is extremely cautious in the area of safety and the 2025 Soul comes with a full complement of driver assistance features. Based on class standards by some measure or other, it provides forward crash warning, automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assistance, blind spot detection and others dependent upon what specifications you opt out for your vehicle.

In actual tests, the IIHS gave Kia’s Soul a value of Good, and the NHTSA gave it just four stars—so there’s no need to worry about safety with this car.

Finally, with its industry-leading warranty, Kia gives you peace of mind: 5 years/60,000 miles basic coverage and 10 years/100,000 miles on the powertrain.

Elegance in Economy

There is perhaps no more surprising feature of the Kia Soul than its price—starting at $21,885, it’s among the least expensive small SUVs. Even with extra goodies, it remains reasonable: based on Kelley Blue Book data, quite often selling less than the sticker price.

For the price, there are few cars which offer both comfort and ease of use as well as the concept of value and uniqueness.
