Chronology
PredecessorKia Joice

The Soul concept was designed by Mike Torpey and had rear-hinged doors, who in early 2005 as a new member of Kia's Design Team in Irvine, California, was sent to KIA Korea to brainstorm a new vehicle. After seeing a television documentary on wild boars, Torpey "sketched a caricature of (a boar) and, for practicality, put a backpack on it." This idea inspired the Soul's combination of a sloping roof line with an overall rectangular shape. The New York Times reported "the boar’s attitude of strength and capability — it can’t be taken advantage of despite its relatively small size — was exactly the image [Torpey] wanted for a new model aimed at hip urban youths."[1]

After joining Kia as the new KIA Corporte Design Chief, Peter Schreyer revised the Soul Concept to include the signature corporate grille, known as the Tiger Nose.[citation needed]

According to the Automotive news, the Soul has been criticized for a plasticky interior and a harsh ride.[2] Both the ride quality and interior were addressed by KIA and upgraded during the first year's production.

Features

The interior features 2 bucket seats in the front. In the rear there are flat-folding seats that can be moved in order to increase storage space.[3]

2009 Kia Soul CRDi (UK)
2011 Kia Soul Plus (US)

The Kia Soul is marketed with a six-speaker stereo system that includes a CD player, a USB port for iPod connection, and Sirius Satellite Radio. Additional features available for upgrade include additional speakers, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls and Bluetooth for hands-free connectivity.[4]

Designed to introduce an emotional appeal into the Kia range, the car can be specified with a number of design options and is available in several themed special editions. Upgrades include 18-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, leather-wrapped steering wheel, racing stripes, "dragon" and "houndstooth" graphics, and LED turn indicators.[4]

For 2011, the Kia Soul was updated with more conventional pull-out door handles, standard metallic interior trim, redesigned instrument cluster, leather shift boot, and switchblade style fold-in integrated key and remote, with an optional Smart Key available in the Exclaim ("!") trim.

2012 Kia Soul Plus (US)

For model year 2012, the Soul received revised exterior and interior styling and new powertrains. In North America the updated 1.6, now featuring direct injection, makes 138 hp/123 lb-ft, the 2.0 makes 164 hp/148 lb-ft of torque. The 1.6 now delivers 25-26 mpg in the city and 30-31 on the highway. The 2.0 returns 23-24 in the city and 28-29 on the highway.[5] New features include navigation, UVO infotainment, leather and heated seats and automatic climate control.[6]

As part of the 2012 upgrades, European models were fitted with new 1.6-litre GDI petrol 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. As a result, the petrol offers a 14 bhp uplift in power compared to its predecessor, while returning improved fuel economy. The modified 1.6 CRDi diesel returns 57.6mpg and has cut its CO2 emissions from 138g/km to 129g/km - particularly important for the European market where taxation is based on carbon emissions.[7]

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. The exterior Kia badges became now smooth instead of raised lettering. Inside, audio controls were relocated to the steering wheel and Bluetooth became standard across the range. Upper trims included power folding heated mirrors with turn signal repeaters. The center display for sound system was previously red LED and was revised to include a full color range. The Kia Soul will be a mini SUV after 2013 in its second generation which the Kia Track'ster will succeed the first generation Kia Soul.

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, [27] and featuring city streets with animated hamsters on stationary hamster wheels. The commercials have attracted popularity on video-sharing sites[28] and were awarded "Automotive Ad of the Year" at the Nielsen Automotive Advertising Awards.[29]

In October 2011, the Kia Soul Hamsters were inducted into the Madison Avenue Walk of Fame, advertising industry’s equivalent of Hollywood and Vine.[citation needed] As of 2011, Kia is also the only car manufacturer to be inducted. From 2010 to 2012, Kia released a series of commercials for the Soul featuring professional golfer Michelle Wie.[31][32]
