Price: from 1 006 900 rubles.

The KIA SOUL 2018-2019 compact car was first represented by the public at the Paris Motor Show in 2008 and deserved stormy applause. The experts argued a lot about the class class of the model and agreed on the opinion that it was minivan.

When sales of new items began in 2009 - it caused a big excitement. Autoloaders appreciated the model, and the number of sales almost reached the Asian level. In the same year, the model brought the most prestigious award to developers - for the best design decisions of the year.

An interesting fact: the Korean car is recognized as the best in terms of towing the trailer, which surprised analysts a little, but the fact remains a fact. This model is recognized as one of the safest cars for both the driver and passengers or pedestrians. In 2016, the model survived the next restyling, about the influence of which we will talk about the model.

The first thing that rushes into the eyes is an updated car body of Kia Soul 2019. It is impossible not to note the design decisions that the model has made a more modern and competitive. A unique appearance, definitely will not leave you indifferent, and acquaint you with the salon and "filling" convince you that this is one of the best options in my "weight category".

Design

As noted above, the appearance of the novelty appreciated not only motorists, but also experts. But what exactly was the reason for such admiration? Now let's try to figure it out.

In front of the car, nor looking at its compactness, it seems quite overall and aggressive. Immediately it is worth noting the oblong xenon head optics, in the process of developing the modern technologies. The space between them is occupied by a miniature radiator lattice, stuck with a bright red rim. Just above the corporate logo Kia. A huge air intake is installed on the bumper themselves, in the corners of which engineers harmoniously placed high-tech fog lights. It is impossible to not notice the acute transition of the windshield into the roof, but this does not greatly affect the streamlord of the model.

On the side it resembles a small minibus. Due to the elongated hood, the Kia Soul 2018-2019 car as a whole seems longer. The effect enhances the oblong excavation, which, as it may connect, not too volumetric wheeled arches. The acute-angled straight roof gives an incredible rigor to the car, so rectangular side mirrors look harmoniously on a general background.

The design of the back of the car continues the overall designer concept. A large vertical trunk door immediately rushes into the eyes, with a darkened window, a rectangular overlay with a company logo and model name. It was very surprised by the decision of the creators to place the back optics at approximately at the level of the side windows - it is a rarity in the current era of the automotive industry.

Dimensions of the car:

• length - 4.105 m;
• width - 1.785 m;

Let's start with the driver's seat. Here everything is completed with the rules of ergonomics and security. The steering wheel is at an optimal height, but the steering adjustment feature is available within two planes. Behind him, in traditional deepening, a classic speedometer and tachometer are hidden. The dashboard looks pretty compact and mounted at an ideal distance relative to the driver's position.

Passengers of the rear row can also fully enjoy the comfort of the interior of the updated car. On the rear seats are the same functions of heating and regulator of the position.

In the cabin upholstery materials, the most used genuine leather, so it is not surprising that dark tones are dominated in the interior, but the situation corrects the modern LED backlight.

• an eighty-lifted touch monitor;

New Kia Soul 2017-2018 photo:

At the end of 2016, an updated KIA SOUL 2017 was presented. This event did not become a surprise, since the company's representatives have long been talking about the upcoming restyling.

The new model is sold in Europe since November last year. And now, recently, the Korean crossover began to supply to the domestic market.

Immediately need to say that those who expected to see the new body will be disappointed, because the developers decided to leave the previous modular platform, which has already shown perfectly on past versions.

Design Front of the car breaks all setup stereotypes concerning crossovers. An unusually small falseradiator grille gives a nasal part of a few comism and clumsy. The situation partially saves a large two-tier air intake, which makes a new kia soul more aggressive. On the lower yarus there are fog, which are connected with a plastic strip. The head optics turned out simply gorgeous. Not only is it fully implemented in LED technology, so also the shape of its headlights provides a large lighting zone. The hood of the novelty is moderately smooth, without special firewalls and air flows.

The side of the car, as before, resembles a boot. Such an association appears due to the too smooth roof. It seems that someone simply neatly cut off the top of the car. Large doors and volumetric wheeled arches make it clear that we have a real crossover. A noticeable side emitting gives a car athleticity. As for the aerodynamic properties of the car, then judging by the form of the body, they are far from being perfect. However, we will not make empty conclusions so that everyone has a personal opinion after the test drive.

Food Soul 2017 looks even very in modern. The concave trunk door creates a certain clumser of the crossover, but this moment fits perfectly into the overall concept of design. The rear headlights are located almost under the roof, and also boast a unique form. On a powerful bumper, LED running lights are installed, and a dual tube of the exhaust system.

The overall dimensions of Kia Soul 2017 remained the same. Unless you can note the clearance, which is now equal to 16.5 cm.

Interior

The salon of the new crossover is almost no different from the predecessor. It is worth noting that the increase in the wheelbase provided more free space for the rear passengers.

The dashboard received a new design. It has become more compact and convenient to use. Three-spoke steering wheel is the author's development of the Korean company, and was created specifically for a restyled model.

As for the interior decoration, depending on the configuration, it can be a tissue or leather upholstery. GT modification salon is supplemented with bright orange elements.

The front row of seats is equipped with electric regulators and armrests. The rear armchairs cannot be called comprehensively different additional approaches, but they are very comfortable, and passengers can hope for a sufficient number of personal space.

Even the naked eye is noticeable that the radiator lattice has become even smaller, but it is not surprising if the specific tastes of Korean designers take into account. The meager set of changes, supplemented the protective pad on the rear bumper.

In the interior a little more changes. First of all, this is a new design dashboard with chrome elements. The Korean wheel was also largely upgraded. The leather interior decoration is now available.

Motor 1.6 MPI with distributed injection has a capacity of 124 hp (152 nm), 1.6 GDI engine with direct injection issues 132 hp (161 nm) and is available with a six-band "machine" (the basic motor can also be purchased with a six-speed manual transmission). In the initial version of Classic on the "mechanics" Kia Soul accelerates up to 100 km / h in 11.3 seconds, but with a "automatic" the result is more compromised - 12.5 sec. 1.6 GDI engine with automatic transmission will be needed 11.7 sec. TURBOGER 1.6 T-GDI issues the maximum 204 hp (265 nm) and is equipped with a 7-speed transmission of DCT, providing overclocking up to 100 km / h in just 7.8 seconds.

The presence of an easily transformed salon, a plurality of storage spaces allows you to consider this car even as a single car for a small family, however, it is necessary to consider that the trunk has not such a large volume (354 liters). However, compared to many hatchbacks, Soul is much more functional. The disadvantage can be noted "in European" hard suspension, thin metal and weak stability of the paintwork. On the other hand, the car has good handling, economical and not bad "packed", especially in the maximum configuration.
