The 2022 Kia Soul
Designed in California and manufactured in South Korea, the Kia Soul debuted at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. It is a subcompact crossover SUV marketed worldwide. The vehicle has been tweaked and altered over the years to keep it fresh. However, the last time a redesign occurred was not too long ago, in 2020. Therefore, the 2022 Kia Soul will be a carry-over model with many of the same features as last year's version. However, there are sure to be some minor changes that make the new Soul unique.

Interior Review of the 2022 Kia Soul
LX, S, GT-Line, X-Line, EX, and Turbo are the six trim variants available for the 2022 Kia Soul. This SUV is spacious on the inside and seats five. Thanks to its box design, there is plenty of headroom for people riding in the front (39.4 inches) and back (39.5 inches).
