The Kia Soul enters 2015 with select enhancements focused on increasing the hot-selling urban utility vehicle's fun factor. The signature Soul design is instantly recognizable yet thoroughly fresh.

The 2015 Soul displays its own unique character through a blend of funky personality, fun-to-drive characteristics and premium interior amenities intended to set it apart from the pack. A playful color palette, including Soul-exclusive colors such as Solar Yellow, Cloud White, Fathom Blue and Inferno Red pump up the dynamic equation that has made Soul such a dominate competitor in the "boxy" car segment.

Enhancements to packaging for the Base model include a new UVO1 eServices Package. UVO eServices is a free subscription telematics service available for 10 years/100,000 miles.

For 2015, UVO eServices offers four new features: Geo-fencing, Speed Alert, Curfew Alert and Driving Score. Additionally, with the introduction of the Kia App store, select apps can be downloaded for free from iTunes or Google Play.

Motivation for the Soul is delivered by a gasoline direct injection (GDI) 130-horsepower, 1.6-liter all-aluminum four-cylinder engine. The engine produces 118 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,850 rpm.

The Plus and Exclaim Soul models enjoy the more powerful 2.0-liter powerplant with GDI technology. Power is rated at 164 horsepower and 151 lb.-ft. of torque at a 4,000 rpm.

The 1.6-liter engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed automatic. The Plus and Exclaim models are available exclusively with the six-speed automatic gearbox.

Honoring Soul owners' fierce individualism, three unique trim levels remain available: Base, Plus and Exclaim.
