This is a Motormouth couple car review of the updates 2023 Kia SOUYl subcompact crossover SUV. What’s new for 2023? The Kia Soul gets a more dynamic grille, new bumpers, reshaped headlamps and new wheel designs including 17” and 18” options, standard 16”. The GT-Line model we are driving has an aggressive mesh patterned grille, body coloured front and rear bumpers and chrome trim. The interior gets a new steering wheel and a 4.2” digital driver display. The Kia Soul also receives some new safety features, standard rear-occupant alert, available lane follow assist, navigation based smart cruise control, blind spot collision avoidance assist and highway driving assist. There is just one powertrain now, a 2L 4-cylinder matched to a CVT, 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, standard FWD, there is no AWD option. The Kia Soul is practical, versatile, spacious and although some may not like its quirky style, I think it’s a tough one to beat for space and it’s a lot of fun to drive. With 6.7” of ground clearance and a higher seating position, the cabin feels open and offers excellent visibility.
