Product Overview
Kia Soul Mk2 (chassis code PS) is an affordable subcompact crossover in production from 2014 to 2019. It was powered by a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.6 to 2.0 liters.
Compared to the previous model, the PS Soul is much better designed. It could be argued to be quite cute. Kia upgraded the powertrain, though the vehicle continued to use semi-independent rear suspensions.
