Kia Soul 2017 Speaking of a new machine Review
More than one highly regarded philosopher has claimed that everybody’s got a soul. Which, with a sly wink about capitals and capitalization, Kia is bent on twisting into everybody drives a Soul. Kia’s execs sometimes seem as surprised as anyone else to see its simple shoebox of a transportation appliance multiplying like so many road rodents, but it has become the brand’s top seller, with more than 145,000 American buyers in 2016 raising their hands to say, “Yes, please—I’ll take one of those.” That’s about five times the number who sprang for the Rio.
The Soul is usually classified as a subcompact crossover based on the Rio platform, which brings us to another surprise: The little rascal scampered off with a 10Best Trucks and SUVs award, anchoring the affordable-and-parkable end of the spectrum. One reason was the 2017 model’s new option of a turbocharged inline-four making 201 horsepower, enough to make it the speedster in a category that also includes the Jeep Renegade, the Mazda CX-3, and the Honda HR-V.
The pre-turbo Soul placed second in a six-way comparison test, in part because it lacks an all-wheel-drive option, something all the others had. (For what it’s worth, Kia often calls the Soul an “urban passenger vehicle” rather than a crossover. That’s a categorization not widely recognized in the industry but one that tacitly acknowledges its lack of off-road capability.)
To see what it’s all about, we’ve just added to our long-term fleet a 2017 Soul Turbo—or, in Kia parlance, a Soul Exclaim, rendered “Soul !” on the window sticker but nowhere on the car itself. We’re subjecting it to 40,000 miles of hard labor in service to our demanding staff. We put it to work early in a supporting role to an outdoor family wedding, where its tall and spacious cargo hold readily accommodated all the beverage coolers, lawn tools, and oddly shaped decorations we threw at it.
