Replaced an older Kia with this one. Big step up in fuel economy; I'd like a little more rear headroom.

2026 Kia Soul review
Kia Soul: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review
8.6/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Kia Soul sits near the top of its class. Comfortable front seats on long trips; easy infotainment with phone mirroring. Rear headroom is tight for tall passengers and some features locked to upper trims, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $21,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Owner reviews · 4.0 of 5 from 3 owners
Bought it for the a long commute and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the fuel economy still impresses passengers.
