Brand/Auto
Kia has added a new
1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine with 201bhp, paired with a seven-speed
dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Drivers can switch between normal, eco, and
sport modes, which adjusts the steering depending on preference and driving
conditions.
With this new engine,
which has been available in the Ceed and Pro Ceed GT models, the updated Soul
can now achieve 0-62mph in 7.5 seconds, and a top speed of 122mph, with claimed
CO2 emissions of 156g/km.
To distinguish itself from
the rest of the range, the faster Soul has a new front bumper and grille, with
two exhaust pipes, some colour detailing, and 18-inch alloy wheels.
On the interior, the Soul
is fitted with cloth and leather upholstery with orange stitching, along with
some other orange highlights. There’s the option to go with either a 5.0-,
7.0-, or 8.0-inch touchscreen system, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto,
along with a USB port in the rear seats, parking camera, fully adjustable front
passenger seat, blind spot detection, and rear cross traffic alert available.
The rest of the Soul range
also has new front and rear bumpers, along with an updated grille, new fog
lights and reflectors. On the interior there’s new gloss black detail on the
dashboard.
The updated Soul will be
on sale in the UK later in 2016.
Kia Carens
Kia has also updated the
Carens MPV, with changes to the exterior and the addition of some extra kit.
Bumpers, fog lights and the grille have all been updated, like on the Soul, and
Kia has added new rear lights, new alloy wheel designs, and a new paint option
(mysterious blue).
On the interior, seats can
be finished in cloth or leather, and there’s the option of a new carbon-effect
dashboard. There’s a 7.0- or 8.0-inch touchscreen with sat-nav, along with
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and there’s a new sound system.
For the environment
conscious, you can add an ‘eco pack’ to the 1.7-litre diesel engine, which adds
stop-start technology, updated gear ratios, and low rolling resistance tyres.
The updated Carens will be
available at the end of 2016.
