Recently, Kia officially released the official map of its new Soul model. The new car is a mid-term redesign of Soul, which has made major adjustments to the exterior design and the overall style is more modern. At the same time, the new car has also been upgraded in configuration and equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine as standard.
In terms of appearance, it can be seen that the new car has made a relatively large adjustment to the front design, the light groups on both sides of the bumper have been cancelled, the size of the headlights has been increased, and more angle designs have been added, with the central through-line light strip and the new Kia LOGO, which is more concise. At the same time, the lower grille of the new car has become more rounded, and the interior is decorated with intricate diamond-shaped patterns and chrome trims, making the overall effect more refined.
On the side of the car, the new car still continues the very square design of the current model, and the overall line is quite straight, which also provides a better indoor seating space and storage capacity for the new car. The new car will come standard with 16-inch and 17-inch rims, with an optional 18-inch rim, and offer a two-tone body color scheme formed by a black roof, coupled with a suspended roof design, giving the new car a stronger sense of fashion.
At the rear of the car, the tail lights of the new car still adopt a circular design, but the light shell and the internal light group have been adjusted, and the overall visual effect is more modern while not losing recognition. In addition, the new car will adopt a central exhaust layout, which is also very special.
In terms of interior, the new car has a new Kia logo hanging in the center of the steering wheel, and the layout of the multi-function button area has also been adjusted, and the overall design is still consistent with the current model. In addition, in addition to the minimum model, the new car will be equipped with a 10.25-inch embedded central control screen as standard, and the active safety configuration such as AEB active braking and lane keeping will become the standard of the whole series.
In terms of power, the new car will cancel the 1.6T model, and the whole series will be equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 147 horsepower and a peak torque of 179 Nm, matching a 6-speed manual transmission.
