The GOOD & BAD About the New Kia Soul 2020

The New Kia Soul was redesigned for 2020 and like all vehicles it has pros and cons. I explore a few things that I like and don't like after spending a total of two weeks with it. One week was with the 2020 Kia Soul GT Turbo and the other with the 2020 Kia Soul X-Line. I really enjoyed the unique options on the 2020 Kia Soul GT Turbo. Let me know what you like or don't like about the new Kia Soul 2020!

I got the S model for my wife. It came packed with all the modern things like blind spot warning, lane assist, traction control, bluetooth, and emergency braking. I especially liked the emergency braking, because the day after we bought it, my wife was driving and playing with the entertainment center. I was telling her to learn it later and to just drive. Then i heard beep, beep, beep,beep in rising tones and the car stopped before she rear ended the car ahead of us.Cost like 20 grand with a 2 thousand dollar trade in. It also has the 2.0 litre engine, up from 1.6 litre from the previous generation. Also, the thing looks like a dream to maintain. Everything is uncluttered and accesable. Rides solid, and corners on a dime. Really good brakes and easy to park. I especially reccomend this as a first car for college students. Just a solid, dependable vehicle that won't break the bank.

3 years ago, a deer missed me. But a concrete didn't. It tore the car apart but I walked away. It is the ONLY small vehicle with a 5 Star Safety Rating on the base model.

I purchased my Kia Soul LX in November 2019 I LOVE LOVE IT.!❤❤ Having back problems the Soul allows me the seat height to slide in the Soul with less back pain and there is plenty of leg room. The fold down back seats allow me to put larger objects in the back. Enjoy every ride the sound system is awesome and the get up and go is great also. I LOVE MY SOUL❤❤👍👍👍👊

My wife bought a 2020 kia soul and loves it no problems with

Absolutely spot on recommending the EX trim. Especially with the upgrade that includes larger wheels, LED headlights, tail lights, fog lights, etc. I actually traded in a 2020 Soul "S" model for a 2020 Soul EX with the upgraded headlights. The difference is dramatic.

Yellowy-looking light is perfect and doesn't pierce your eyes. On My LIKE list.

Was in a wreck with 2 other cars and a concrete brocade and walked away, 100% recommend 👌🏻

I really enjoy your style. Good voice, personality and look for doing reviews.

I completely disagree with you on your assessment of the halogen headlights on the 2020 Kia Soul X-Line. I have owned mine for 5 months and I have zero issues with the headlights. I’m actually quite impressed by their performance and I don’t see that well at night.

I own a 2020 kia soul lx base with just over 26, 000 miles on it!!! Love love love love this little car!

What’s your thoughts on the Kia Soul GT-Line 2023 with GT-Line Technology Package? I’m thinking about getting it but worried it won’t last as the scion I have .

Blind spot monitoring in the side mirrors is nice, also adaptive cruise control. I do not like the floating back pillar outside- I would get black paint to make it go away more.

all i can say is that they're affordable and if you're dropping someone from an 8 hour drive it would be fine since it have a 2.1 LT of gas instead of the original 1.5 LT of gas for a hatchback vehicle. Kia is pretty amazing despite there ''amazing way of creativity'' for an engine or oil but nothing too major.

My wife bought a 2021 Kia Soul and where have oil consumption issues with the motor at 3000 the dealer change the oil at 4, 000 it was a quart low now we just put 395 miles on it and it's a quart low again the more I read about this vehicle the more consumption problems it has with the engine oil so if you driving one of these cars you better be checking the oil in it

I am impressed by my LX with 6 spd manual. Fun and simple, solid and unique hatchback for the price. Really wished they offer manual with the GT though
Edit: The Soul is a hatchback or can be called a small wagon, not intended to be an suv/cuv even though it's labled like that on the market.
And I disagree with headlight assessments because mine is halogen and I test driven a GT with leds for a whole foggy day and night, and I can see a lot better with halogens while led is just blinding and it is especially bad in foggy or heavy rainfall conditions

I'm hoping you do an update and review the 2021 line up. The line up has changed a bit from 2020 to 2021. The EX is now just below the Turbo for pricing and features. The driver seat in the EX is great, electric and with a lumbar support control. The heated front seats are also standard on the EX. When coasting down a slight decline my 2016 + would yo yo. The transmission has improved and no more yo yo. All around, the 2021 is a great improvement.

Turning in my Rogue in 4 months, trying to find value and lower price. Thanks for the great review.

[joeromagnano]

That is not a subcompact suv, that is a hatchback
