2024 Kia Soul Engine Performance & Efficiency Specs
The new Kia Soul comes with one engine option: the 2.0-liter four-cylinder powertrain that delivers awesome fun and fuel efficiency to drivers searching for a small but capable vehicle. It produces 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque, which makes the Kia Soul 0-60 mph run end in just eight seconds.1
You'll appreciate the model's low curb weight and balanced chassis, as it provides a great mix of smooth comfort when you need it and sportiness to have fun when you want to.
Equally satisfying, the standard 2024 Kia Soul gas mileage rating is an impressive EPA-estimated 27/33/30 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).2 This Kia Soul MPG rating can be found in the LX, S, and GT-Line trim levels. Moving up to the Kia Soul EX returns an EPA-estimated 29/35/31 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).2 All versions contain an advanced drive mode system to adjust the powertrain's characteristics and achieve great MPG or peppier performance.
The Kia Soul fuel capacity is 14.3 gallons in all trim levels. Using that capacity and the model's maximum 31 MPG Combined rating, we see that the 2024 Kia Soul specs can let you drive for up to approximately 443 miles.2
If you're curious about the Kia Soul 1.6t specs, consider a used model. This available engine was discontinued after the 2022 model year. This is also where you'll find the Kia Soul turbo specs, as the "t" in "1.6t" stands for "turbocharged." How much horsepower did it make? A stout 201 horsepower. Contact our team for more information or the availability of a pre-owned Kia Soul with the 1.6t powertrain.

2024 Kia Soul Cargo Space, Passenger Room & Dimensions
The Kia Soul is an agile vehicle designed for life in the city. However, you'll likely need to take it on a road trip or a longer drive at some point, so Kia engineers built stability and space into the nimble frame of the Kia Soul.
The 2024 Kia Soul specs start on the outside with an impressively maneuverable build. The Kia Soul measures 165.2 inches long, 70.9 inches wide, and 63 inches tall. When you get out on the road and need to take a U-Turn, you'll be blown away by how agile it really is. Its turning circle diameter (curb-to-curb) is a minuscule 34.8 feet.
Better still, this maneuverability requires no compromise on your part. The Kia Soul trunk space is immense, considering the exterior size. When all five of its seats are in use, you'll be able to access up to 24.2 cubic feet of cargo volume, which is the same as many large SUVs. When you fold the rear seats, the Kia Soul specs can even exceed some SUVs, as the Soul offers a maximum of 62.1 cubic feet of cargo room.
It's a similar story of spaciousness for your passengers. In the front seats, you and your passenger get 39.9 inches of headroom (without a sunroof – sunroof-equipped models have 38.3 inches of front headroom) and 41.1 inches of legroom. Rear-seat passengers are catered to much the same, receiving 39.5 inches of headroom (the sunroof makes no difference here) and 38.8 inches of legroom.
While the 2024 Kia Soul specs are not oriented toward intense off-road driving, each trim level has 6.7 inches of ground clearance, which is more than enough to confidently traverse dirt roads leading to your campsite – and with the model's expansive cargo capacity, the Soul makes camping trips easy. However, if you need to tow a trailer and head down really rough trails, larger SUVs in our new Kia inventory, such as the Telluride, may be a better fit for your needs.
