Yesterday, we were invited to the media test-drive of the 3rd generation 2020 Kia Soul booster to find out how well it drives. The new Soul just has been released in Korea, so we had a chance to test drive the 2020 Kia Soul before anyone! Let’s meet the new guy! 2020 Kia Soul GT-Line -1.6T - 204hp (6,000rpm) / 195.2 lb-ft of torque (27.0kg.m) (1,500~4,500rpm) -165.2x70.9x63.0x102.4

2020 KIA SOUL MOSTLY REVEALED IN NEW TEASERhttps://www.motortrend.com/news/2020-kia-soul-mostly-revealed-in-new-teaser/ We're exactly one week away from the reveal of the 2020 Kia Soul, and we have a pretty good idea what it will look like thanks to this new teaser. KIA has also dropped more information on engines and trim levels. The Soul adopts more of a crossover appearance up front. When viewed form the side profile, the front end looks more rounded and less boxy than before. KIA also reworked the side window design to give the illusion of a sharply sloped roofline. The model gets a new floating roof that melds into the vertical taillights. Other teasers show off bits of the interior, including the steering wheel and door handles. In one teaser, we can see the Soul's new central screen. In a press release, Kia confirms the Soul will offer a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder and a 1.6-liter turbo-four. No mention was made of a return for the base 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. Kia says it will continue to offer a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, without specifying which other gearboxes may be available. An all-electric variant will be sold in select markets. The gas-powered Soul will come in multiple trims: LX, EX, S, and GT-Line. Kia is also adding a "ruggedly styled" X-Line model. Beyond that, Kia promises increased cargo room.

Of course this news is not very relevant to Kia enthusiasts here (if there are any) since this model isn
