About 2016 Kia Soul


4.1

Overall Rating

The new Kia Soul comes at a price range of $17,400 and is offered in a 1.6L Inline-4 engine that is responsible for churning out a power output of 130hp and a combined mileage of 26MPG.

The 2016 Kia Soul has been introduced with reshuffled features of the packages along with trim specific newly standardized leather upholstery. Its trims of Base, +(Plus), and !(Exclaim) have been entitled with two different engine configurations as well where the 130 hp 1.6L I-4 is for the base model while the 164 hp 2.0L I-4 serves for the rest. Sporting a mileage of 27 MPG and an interior cargo capacity of 61.3 cu-ft, it stands tall with its holistic practical stance. 

Towing 1,000 lbs quite conveniently, the Kia Soul also has a maximum payload of 1,263 lbs that comes at a starting price of $16,750. And this 5-seater wagon draws its valuation up against the thrills of Honda HR-V, Chevrolet Trax, and Buick Encore. Apart from this, its production line does entail the EV platform too that offers a blend between its 109 horsepower and 120 MPGe economy. 

It is best to opt for the Kia Soul Plus trim as it is the most value for money trim which offers all the essential features and a punchy performance at a reasonable price.

2016 Kia Soul Review


Pros

  • Ample cargo space
  • Structural resilience
  • Long list of standard features

Cons

  • Stiff ride quality
  • Low fuel economy

The new Kia Soul comes at a price range of $17,400 and is offered in a 1.6L Inline-4 engine that is responsible for churning out a power output of 130hp and a combined mileage of 26MPG.

Overview


The 2016 Kia Soul has been introduced with reshuffled features of the packages along with trim specific newly standardized leather upholstery. Its trims of Base, +(Plus), and !(Exclaim) have been entitled with two different engine configurations as well where the 130 hp 1.6L I-4 is for the base model while the 164 hp 2.0L I-4 serves for the rest. Sporting a mileage of 27 MPG and an interior cargo capacity of 61.3 cu-ft, it stands tall with its holistic practical stance. 

Towing 1,000 lbs quite conveniently, the Kia Soul also has a maximum payload of 1,263 lbs that comes at a starting price of $16,750. And this 5-seater wagon draws its valuation up against the thrills of Honda HR-V, Chevrolet Trax, and Buick Encore. Apart from this, its production line does entail the EV platform too that offers a blend between its 109 horsepower and 120 MPGe economy. 

Pricing and Features
6.0/10


The 2016 Kia Soul Wagon comes in three trims, namely - Soul, Soul+, and Soul! The Soul! being the top-most trim includes most of the advanced features. However, most of the features are standard across the trims. Some of the standard features available with the vehicle include driver-selectable steering settings, full power accessories, rear privacy glass, height-adjustable driver's seat, and 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks. Some of the advanced safety techs available with the top-end Soul!'s optional Premium Package are lane departure warning and forward collision warning. This package also brings xenon headlight units and full-LED taillights as well.

Engine and Performance
6.3/10


The 2016 Kia Soul Wagon is offered with a base 1.6L Inline-4 engine in its base trim only which facilitates a power output of 130hp and a torque of 118lb-ft. However, spending only a couple of grand more will get you the upgraded 2.0-liter motor that offers impressive power and a torque figure of 164 horsepower and 158 lb-ft.

The 2016 Kia Soul Wagon comes with a standard front-wheel-drive layout which is mated on a 6-speed shiftable automatic transmission. The engine along with the transmission makes the acceleration of this Kia wagon quite decent. It sprints from 0-60MPH in 8.7 seconds and takes 16.0 seconds to complete the quarter-mile stretch. The performance is peppy around the town and the fun-to-drive nature of the car lasts even when you're out on the highways as well. However, the motor might get coarse under hard acceleration but the 6-speed automatic transmission does a brilliant job of shifting just in time to reduce stress on the motor and maintain a constant level of performance.

Comparing with the rivals, the Kia Soul with its 2.0-liter motor turns out to be the most powerful one here but its acceleration times and top speed are just about at par with the rivals. The Honda Civic Hatchback offers decent power and has an average torque but accelerates quicker than the Kia Soul. The Mazda 3 provides the maximum torque and it impresses everyone with its quick acceleration and speed. The Kia Soul comes last in this list in terms of all aspects.

Fuel Economy
7.0/10


The 2016 Kia Soul mpg ratings are quite disappointing considering the segment and performance it dishes out. The car provides a mileage of 24MPG within city ranges, 31MPG on the highways, and a combined mileage of 27MPG. It has a fuel capacity of 14.2 gallons which makes up for the lackluster fuel economy to some extent.

Coming to the aspect of fuel efficiency, it is evident that despite having the maximum fuel capacity, the Kia Soul fails to compete with its rivals in terms of overall driving range as well. The Honda Civic and the Mazda 3 Hatchback are engaged in a neck-to-neck competition when it comes to providing adequate mileage. However, it is the Honda Civic that performs relatively better and tops this section. 

Interior
8.8/10


The cabin of the 2016 Kia Soul Wagon strikes a delicate yet intriguing balance between form and functionality. The cabin of the Kia Soul Wagon is quite upscale which is surprising for the price that it comes in. The cabin has been carefully curated with all the refined materials which give it a very modern look. 

Even though the base model includes cloth upholstery, it doesn’t look dull. The cabin is filled with a plethora of features which makes the ride easy and comfortable. Additionally, the 2016 Kia Soul Wagon can accommodate 5 occupants while offering ample space to them. Moreover, the Kia Soul also provides its customers with a quality cargo space of 24.2 cubic feet.

The Mazda 3 is more focused on offering a punchy performance and a pleasurable driving experience with its sporty handling, quick acceleration, and sporty interior design. It is also quite impressive on offering a solid fuel economy too apart from the performance but lacks a bit in terms of the overall spaciousness of the cabin.

Final Verdict


The 2016 Kia Soul is a decent family-oriented car that is most feasible for covering shorter distances and ideal for utilitarian use. It offers attractive interiors and is quite accommodative in the city. However, its low fuel economy and dull acceleration make one dubious about its performance. But irrespective of everything, one won’t be disappointed with the Kia Soul Wagon.
