Overview
The 2026 Kia Soul EX continues to build on the model's reputation for blending quirky design with practicality and modern features. The new model showcases subtle yet impactful design updates, with a more streamlined silhouette, sharper LED headlamps, and a redesigned front grille that gives it a more contemporary and upscale appearance.
Under the hood, the 2026 Soul EX is expected to feature a more refined version of the 2.0-liter inline-4 engine, delivering around 150 horsepower, paired with an improved CVT transmission for smoother and more efficient driving.
