I just test drove this yesterday and I fell in love with it. It was my first introduction to Kia and I’m honestly considering it. I’m 6’4” and finding a car that I can sit in front and back with 2-3” of space headroom is amazing. I loved driving the 23’ Civic, but this one for the features and price is a great deal also.

10:59 that Honda CRV in the left-most right turn lane totally runs a solid red light.

I have a 2020 GT line Soul that ive done a lot of work to from spoiler, built more on the defuser, interior trim kit, wheels, carbon fiber, intake, and added several GT line accents and smile everytime i walk out toit from work. Ive drag and rolled raced it, i love the sport tuned suspension. I do cars and coffee and won a few awrds for import and daily driver! thanks for a awesome review

One of my friends rear ended a big chevy truck in the parking lot. Chevy truck had a giant dent and scratches. Kia soul, had literally no scratches or dents.

I had one as a courtesy car and uhh I will never by another Kia product after my dealer experience and the issues I’ve had

[reisschancellor]

I miss my Soul 😢. Sold it and bought a Land Rover. Time to get another Soul.

[bfourney]

This is honestly way cooler than any $24k car has a right to be

[jeffdeboer]

I really wish they would add AWD as an option to the Soul. But maybe they're worried it would eat into the sales of the Seltos (which they don't market at all) and the Sportage.

I hope Kia doesnt discontinue this model despite its somewhat low sales.

[MrJGWilson]

Gonna pull all the suburban moms with that beast.

I got a 22 Forte gt line as my first car

So what are the noticeable differences between Kia soul GT 2023 and 2024 if any? Like does the seat lift higher on the newer one or what? Because they look basically the same to me to be honest any answered I would love to read.

Fantastic thorough video on the Kia Soul GT. Best ever, thank you.
Been pondering whether to downsize from my Kia Sportage as I’m getting older, I don’t need all that room anymore or even so much hp anymore. The Kia Soul is such a zippy little car. One question though, with only 147hp does it struggle and is it slow on
uphill ascent?

[matthewbrooder]

Man I really miss the full GT/Turbo soul

[JR-prxh]

This thing gives me Halo Covenant vibes.

[abdullahabed]

How is its engine? is it still unreliable and half death 2.0?

[wonderboy]

Is this a AWD or nah?And how abt the speakers sound is good??
It's a pretty nice car for commute
And you right the color contrast is kinda off, and pretty dark inside, let me check if they have different interior colors in this GT-line

I just went over to Kia today to pick up my car at the collision center (Mazda) and two workers I asked if they actually like Kia and they both said no. 😂
