The 2011 Kia Souls originates from South Korea. When it comes to trim levels, people are really having a hard time thinking how the 2011 Kia Soul came up with these silly trim levels.
The 2011 Kia Soul is a new car featured by Kia and is available in different trim levels like the base, +, !, and Sport. The Kia Soul + trim level has additional stereo speakers, audio controls mounted on the steering wheel, Bluetooth, upholstery that glows in the dark, driver seat which is height adjustable, tinted rear windows, keyless entry, cruise control, rear disc brakes, 16-inch alloy wheels and a larger engine.
Base Souls will be rated at 34 mpg on the highway thanks to a 1.6-liter direct-injected four-cylinder. Putting out 160 horsepower and 143 lb-ft. of torque, this larger four will be standard on Soul+, Soul! and Soul Sport models.
The Kia Soul receives a few improvements for 2011, with new rear shock absorbers and standard rear disc brakes (replacing last year's rear drums) being the most notable. Like the competition, the Kia Soul offers a long list of features and customization options. It also parts with convention with funky trim names like Kia Soul + and Soul !. Kia's engineers also managed to infuse the Soul with peppy engine performance (at least on the upper trim levels) and sporty handling. We rate the 2011 Kia Soul highly among the overtly boxy competition that includes the Nissan Cube and Scion xB.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2011 Kia Soul is a four-door hatchback/wagon available in base, +, ! and Sport trim levels. The Soul + adds a bigger engine, 16-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, keyless entry, power-adjustable outside mirrors, tinted rear windows, a height-adjustable driver seat, metallic interior trim, Bluetooth, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls and two additional speakers.
The Soul Sport is similar to the Soul ! Buyers can opt for the Premium package on Kia Soul ! The EPA estimates the base Soul's fuel economy at 26 mpg city/31 mpg highway and 28 mpg in combined driving.
Safety
Standard safety equipment for all 2011 Kia Soul models includes four-wheel antilock disc brakes with brake assist, active front head restraints, stability control, traction control, front side airbags and side curtain airbags.
The Kia Soul has not been rated using the government's new, more strenuous 2011 crash-testing procedure. In recent Edmunds brake testing, a Kia Soul ! Luggage space behind the rear seats amounts to 19 cubic feet. The 2011 Kia Soul, particularly the Sport model, feels nimble and well-planted in high-speed turns. Around town, the Soul is pleasantly comfortable.
