NOVEL THINKING

(Same as 2019 but with smaller battery pack or just at 360volts), *Oddly the 2015 specs say 34.8ft turning circle for shared body style as 2019 Soul EV that lists The Kia Soul is a subcompact crossover SUV manufactured and marketed worldwide by Kia Motors. [citation needed], The interior features two front bucket seats and a rear flat-folding bench seat that can adjust to prioritize passenger or cargo volume. [75], The Soul won the 2014 Red Dot Award for Passenger Car Design[76] and the iF Design Award for Discipline: Product in 2014 and Discipline: Communication in 2016. Even the EPA removed it from its own website. This is a 3-door concept subcompact crossover SUV which presaged the second generation Soul. The U.S. model went on sale as 2014 model year vehicle, and early models included a choice of 1.6 liter Gamma GDI or 2.0 liter Nu GDI engines, mated to 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmissions. [42] Kia Soul was named to the Kelley Blue Book's '5 Great Deals' List,[43] and recognized by the Texas Auto Writers Association as 'Best Value'. [7], As part of the 2012 upgrades, European models were fitted with new 1.6-liter GDI gasoline or 1.6 CRDi diesel engines, both of which can be specified with an automatic gearbox or a new six-speed manual gearbox, replacing the five-speed unit in the old version. The vehicle was unveiled at the 2008 Paris Motor Show[26][27] and later at Auto Shanghai [28] and later at the Canadian International Auto Show. The first generation Soul EV has a battery capacity of 30 kWh, while the e-Soul comes with 2 options: 39.2 kWh, and 64 kWh. The design was based on the Kia Mesa concept and it was initially introduced as a compact crossover with a 5-door SUV body styling with 5 seats and suicide doors. In North America the updated 1.6 liter engine, featuring direct injection, makes 138 hp/123 lb-ft; the 2.0 liter engine makes 164 hp/148 lb-ft of torque. Trim levels included base, + (Plus), and ! That 4,321lbs figure was for total Gross Vehicle Weight (Fully loaded) not curb weight without passengers/cargo. The front subframe uses four bushings (the first generation has none) and the shock absorbers on the rear torsion beam axle are now mounted vertically allowing for more suspension travel. The Soul concept was styled by Mike Torpey in early 2005. As of 2015, Kia has produced over a million units of the Soul. As a new member of Kia's Design Team in Irvine, California, Torpey was sent to Kia Korea to brainstorm a new vehicle. Luggage capacity also seems to have increased – Kia lists the Soul EV cargo capacity at 250 liters, while the e-Soul is listed at 315 liters. Charging speed has also increased – the Soul EV had a 6.6 kW onboard charger, while the e-Soul has a 7.2 kW onboard charger. [60] The biggest change comes at the top trim level, in which the old 2.0-liter Nu engine is replaced by the 1.6-liter turbo gasoline engine, which adds 40 hp (30 kW) and 45 lb⋅ft (61 N⋅m) of torque over the outgoing model. It is now having a subcompact crossover SUV-like styling and it abandons the compact crossover SUV-like styling, it has custom 19-inch wheels designed by Kia's California design team and HRE, 14-inch Brembo vented and cross-drilled front disc brakes with six-piston calipers, 13.6-inch rear brake discs with four-piston calipers, angled roof accented with Inferno Orange, lengthened front door with smooth billet push-style handles, carbon fiber lower side valances in Inferno Orange and incorporate functional rear-brake cooling ducts, back hatch incorporates a horizontal Inferno Orange "backpack" panel five inches wider than a production Soul, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 250 hp (186 kW; 253 PS), electronically controlled four-wheel-drive system, short-throw six-speed manual transmission with a stubby spherical shift lever, Inferno Orange suede-covered racing seats, Granite Gray leather upholstery, Granite Gray suede wraps the sport steering wheel and door panels, red-glowing nacelles, rear seats removed and replaced with a fully integrated equipment tray and spare-tire well, paneled bins in Inferno Orange behind seats, custom rear strut brace incorporates a quick-release handle to allow for fast wheel changes. [6] New features included navigation, UVO infotainment, leather and heated seats and automatic climate control. [30], After the Soul's release, Kia USA launched commercials in a campaign titled "A new way to roll", created by Los Angeles-based ad agency David&Goliath,[31] and featuring city streets with animated hamsters on stationary hamster wheels.

The 2013 North American Kia Soul received upgrades including 3 new colors, a bulged hood, revised grille with black chrome accents, LED red tail lights, LED amber front turn signals under the headlights and white LED running lights under the front turn signals.
