Kia Soul
The Kia Soul has wisely kept the same recipe, and its sales are healthier than ever. Two gas enginesare available. The 130-hp four-cylinder engine is the only one available with a six-speed manual gearbox or optional automatic. The second choice, a 164-hp engine is available with the six-speed automatic only. A third powertrain, the Soul EV, is entirely electric and its autonomy as advertised is superior to that of the competition.
