2023 Kia Soul GT-Line Review: Still Weird After All There Years, Despite a Few Tweaks
• The new edition gets a few tweaks, but nothing drastic.Here’s a boxy hatchback that looks pulled straight out of the world of the tiny “kei” microcars seen in many Asian markets, that comes in all sorts of funky colours, has interior ambient lighting that “dances” with your tunes and looks primed for the hero car role in any number of Pixar animated features. But so often when you see these, they’re being driven by what look like retirees.
The Soul also has a tonne of headroom both front and back, which means a tall roof, which means big windows and an upright dash with all the controls pleasantly laid out and easy-to-read. I’m especially a fan of the big buttons for adjusting seat temperature, found on either side of the shift lever. You can see how this is just such an easy vehicle to live with.
In general, I don’t mind this approach as it makes the buying process simpler, but some buyers like to pick and choose their features a little more than what’s possible here. My tester didn’t have the two-tone finish, but the Surf Blue paint job suits it very well. There is still nothing out there quite like it and even though many have abandoned the formula – think Nissan Cube or Scion xB – the Soul has managed to soldier on.
