Automakers have jacked up the price of their affordable models for 2024 expecting high demand as Americans return to more practical spending habits in this post-pandemic economy. I'll bet a lot of folks would like to go back in time to 2020 and buy one of these when its starting price was under $20k and financing was cheap.
Covid really fucked us, eh? I very much so miss when things were cheaper than they are. It's like prices on EVERYTHING were jacked up by ludicrous amounts in less than 4 years. It's crazy.
How come you guys are so underrated, you guys upload daily and work a lot and still get less views than most « big » reviewers who upload once a month. I will always watch you and one day see you guys do an unboxing video of the golden play button.
Thank you, friend! We are grateful for your support and looking forward to that golden play button 😁

I second this! I LOVE your consistent and thorough reviews. I've been a fan of your channel for many years. Oh - and GO CATS!!! *Fellow central Kentuckian*
I have the GT Line 2023 and its a beast its wheels are sic and I see your review and you are 100 percent correct. Its gun metal color is otherworldly. The space inside you can sleep in.
I've always found the Soul to be a great value in this small CUV class. In the era of $35K Honda Civics and Toyota Corolla, it is refreshing to see Kia have some restraint in raising prices...just to raise prices. Yes, Kia did cost cut tremendously on the lighting at a time when LEDs are virtually standard on most new vehicles, and I would gladly trade the small sunroof for standard LED projectors.
But taken as a whole, inclusive of the ride quality and noise levels being a class or two above what this Soul is, in addition to the amount of ample space it provides, it remains a great choice.
The sport touring is only 32k...
@@Hallowsaw only...🤣
The best part of the Soul is its high ride height which improves visibility, ingress/egress, and safety.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q i agree. I wonder if that is why I see tons of seniors driving them.
@@hellkitty1014 Exactly
Awesome video guys. A great Thanksgiving present. You know how much I love it when you two review a Soul
Thanks and happy Thanksgiving to you also!
Fully loaded is the GT-Line trim with the technology package, $27,315 MSRP.
That KIA gives you a budget for the money. I see why most people traded their toyotas for this KIA.
I traded my third (and final) Toyota in for a Kia and have had zero regrets. I love me a dependable vehicle and my Kia has been fantastic!
@@Boxingp4pbxsomeone I know traded their 2014 corolla for a 2023 kia soul S.
Kia and Hyundai are fire boxes, buyer beware of their engine that grenade and catch fire.
@@DeadofWinter321how old is your kia? If its less than 5 years old just wait... you will see
More like Chryslers and Chevys
Great review thank you, I am considering getting one. This video helped greatly.
Glad to hear it! 😁
I bought my 2024 Soul S on January 24th, so we're about 10 days in. This morning on a drive, our mileage was 44.9. (The car is supposed to get 27/33/30). I took a picture of the screen, we were so amazed. :-). I love everything about my Surf Blue Soul!
Congrats on your new ride!
Congrats! Surf Blue is very similar to the Neptune Blue in the GR86 and is a gorgeous color!
@@sachinnair91 Thank you! I have never driven a car that suited me so perfectly. It's so beautiful and solid and comfortable. Still can't believe it's mine! And the mileage is unexpectedly amazing! The guys at Kia keep telling me they want me around when someone comes to look at a Soul. LOL
This is a perfect car for city driving with occasional highway driving. My friend has a 2020/21 Soul and he is still using it without any issues. With winter tires on it, it will move around in snow without any problem. Not to mention the amazing 2nd row seating and cargo space, especially compared to the super cramped CX30.
This is fantastic value for money, especially since Toyota and Honda are starting to price their economy cars out of most people’s budget. Sure, the Toyota and Honda are more fun to drive, hold their value better and are more reliable, but 25K for a very well equipped, very practical, boxy new car with a warranty is awesome. Kia and Hyundai are really hitting it out of the park.
Insane new 2024 Kia Soul I can afford one.
Can broaden your options toward hyundai venue, chevy trax
Thank you for reviewing affordable cars! I hope you can review the 2024 Mirage one day!
We hope so too! Thanks for watching
Amazing video guys.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot for the review! I've read that previous models (2017,2020-2021) had issues with the engine (piston oil rings among otherr) , do you know if previous problems have been solved in the 2024 version?
why no response on these comments?? come on guys DO AN EXTRA MILE.
Fantastic review as always!😸
Thanks and hope you're having a great Thanksgiving weekend!
@@CarConfections thanks, same to y’all!!
I applaud them for not being LED lights standard. I hate being blinded by oncoming traffic and I think it's a hazard.
The 2024 Kia soul is a pretty practical and boxy car for the money. Although there are some cars in the segment that I would rather choose for that money, like the Corolla, civic, Elantra, or the sonata. Another great review as always though guys. Happy thanksgiving to all!
Happy Thanksgiving to you also!
Excellent review.
Glad you liked it!
Wait for the 2025 Kia Soul. The styling is going to be even better and they may be bringing back the turbo. The 2024 has ONE 143 engine which is rediculous!
It’s more reliable without the turbo😮
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
The Soul is impressive esp. since the design is over a decade old I believe. They were able to keep the box in style.
Does como with dash camera??
The Soul is a great little driver, especially since it only has 147 hp. If you want top performance, keep it in Sport mode and turn off the Stop-and-Go button. It has NAV, and the sound system is great. What I don't like about it is its ergonomics. If you have back problems or other muscular-skeletal issues, you may find it a handful. And, if you want the roominess of an SUV, you won't find it in this car, especially if you're tall and/or large. I definitely recommend buying the Technology Package with power seats if you want to minimize the seating ergonomic problems. With it, the car costs 27-28 K.
Bad ass ride
Halogens?
Don’t think you’d read this but trying to find a cute car to drive. This will be my 2nd car after owning a RAV4 for… almost 10 years now. I’m split between this car and the Mini Cooper (so. Gosh. Darn. Cute!) but I hear the mini cooper can have expensive repairs… on top of the already expensive price…
So between a civic hatch, kia Niro, mazda 3 hatch which has the smoothest and most comfortable ride for 30-35k? Looking for a solid 50 mile drive commuter. Other suggestions to look into are welcome
Mazda 3 hatch for fun to drive, surprisingly kia niro ev is pretty decent to drive as well
The Kia Soul isn't that bad and by the way Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
Cars have been around for decades with halogen headlights; I see no safety hazard with halogen headlights. I find the LED lighting to be a safety hazard as they often blind drivers coming in the opposite direction especially when added to the fact that many people leave their fog lights on all the time when they are only intended to be used in bad weather. There’s too much light coming off the front of these new cars. It’s really not safe to blind other drivers especially those with vision impairments.
it nice
محركات الكيا سول بعد مسيرها 30 الف كيلو يقوم المحرق بتنقيص الزيت فيه لا اعرف ما المشكله هذه المشكله انا جرتها بسيارتين سول موديل 2022 وموديل 2023
You didn’t try with the donuts. Could’ve fit 10😂
Realize the 10yr powertrain warranty is only for 1st owner. This is always left out of every review on Hyundai and kia.
Missed opportunity for panoramic sunroof and leather seats
It's a subcompact SUV, were u really expect those to be present, in a non upper trim level
I've always been smitten with the Soul since the first generation. It offers a lot of style, space, practicality, and value for the money. The current generation may be my least favorite though. It's gotten so angry-looking with its bulldog face, droopy rear end, and bland monochromatic black interior. I remember the days of the Soul having houndstooth upholstery and offering two-tone red/black or tan/black interiors. I miss that! I'm looking forward to a complete redesign with better styling inside and out.
روعة
It's a Fn Toaster on wheels 😂😂😂
I’m looking for a new car and am impressed by this car. LED lights don’t interest me at all. They are too bright and cost a fortune to replace.
They shouldn’t have gotten rid of the turbo engine. Now I have to buy either the Seltos or the Kona.
It's preference. Personally, I prefer non-turbo engines. Less maintenance, higher reliability. Less power and lower fuel economy sure, but I will always choose reliability over power.
If I want boxy car I would get Kei Car since it’s more luxury then this Kia Soul and has feature like full LED headlight, taillights, signal and also offers 360 back up camera.
It's a neat little car, but that engine just isn't enough and that gas mileage is quite poor for vehicle size and engine. Still would be a nice around the town car if it was a second car.
Surprisingly I took it to a palisade parkway going thru uphill and zig zag lane road, IVT working seamlessly
Manufacturers should stop putting piano black plastics and just use silver or fake brush aluminium.
Just make sure you clean it
🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
I wouldn't count auto high beams as a safety feature
Just one reference to its boxy style Will me think they really did not mean to review the Soul. Just saying……
Halogens in 2023...
Kia are pretty consistent with the cost of $34,000
With u talking about
We had a 2016 Soul that we bought brand new. While driving to work one morning the engine went poopy in its pants with just 70,000 miles on the clock. That was the last Hyundai/Kia vehicle I will ever buy. I’m very meticulous with maintenance on my cars and at one point I took it to the dealership because of what I felt was excessive oil consumption,but they claimed it was normal. Kia Soul = POS
Nice lie dude.
@@darkivaz-aaa1145 I wish it were a lie duuude...
I have a 2015 Soul.The engine is still fine but I did have to replace the catalytic converter because it had become clogged around 85k miles but the extended warranty thankfully took care of that so it was only $100. As someone who has also noticed needing to add oil every 2k miles, I asked about this and there is now a test. It is tedious but after an oil change, they have you bring it back after 1k miles, keep it overnight for review, drive another 1k miles, and when you bring it back, you bring back all of the copies of the past appointments to verify it was maintained. Fingers crossed on them fixing the issue, I am just glad there is an option outside of being told, "those engines just eat a lot of oil," when it could easily hit the 5k mile schedule early in its life.
What are you driving now? I am looking for my next car but really love how easy the Soul is to park and how easy it is to slide in and out of as a taller person.
@@chrissimmons9969why didn't you use the 100k warranty?
So it failed well within powertrain warranty…..when it would have been outside of most other manufacturers warranty. Sounds like a pro, not a con
Engine failure at 108k miles-It will self destruct….eventually
Oops it catchec on fire.
Not one of my cakes can even fit in this car! Look at how tiny those seats are! How is my donk supposed to be cradled comfortably? Why don’t these cars have bigger seats for us big yam gurls????
Assuming this is a troll comment, but I am quite a large guy who owned a 2013 Soul for 5 years and it was roomy and comfortable. Wish I still had it actually.
@@brenspin Boy stop you best believe us phat caked gurls want roomy cars for our yams!!! You’re obvi just jelly you ain’t never gonna get a taste of this donk!!!!
@@brenspinwhat happened to your kia soul?
@@AJ-ds9xqI simply decided to sell it with about 115,000 miles. During my ownership it needed no repairs that I can remember (other than a minor front suspension link that was covered under warranty before 15K miles I think). It needed brakes in that time, of course.
I was happy with the fuel economy. Even though Kia went through a 'scandal' in that time period which caused them to give money to customers because of vehicles apparently not meeting the fuel economy estimates, my Kia Soul actually met and exceeded them yet I still received money from Kia.
When I sold my Kia, I then bought a 2017 Jeep Renegade which I owned for a little more than 4 years and only about 34,000 miles. While the Jeep had approximately 30 more hp and torque, it was no faster than the Soul was and the fuel economy was significantly worse. The Soul also felt more spacious with easier entry... I didn't have to tilt my head to the side to avoid bashing my head on the roof of the vehicle.
You can't drive a car unless you are at least 16 years old, whomever of you guys were 12 years old you could have went to jail for driving under age, and without a license !!!
they said they were reviewing cars when they were 12, you don't have to drive a car to review it
Correct ^ we didn't drive any of the cars for a number of years when we first started
Omg give it a rest. Reviewing and driving are two different things
Practical somewhat but that rear end is ugly af
I would never be caught in that piece of s. I would use that 25k and buy a used s class
That S Class would be in a junkyard in a matter of months.
Ok? W222 S class is faster, more luxurious, more premium, and better looking than a kia soul. Sure maintenance cost is high but I'm getting a cheap flagship sedan.
@@tmyere. A flagship sedan that'll be dead way before you make your first payment lmao
Don’t even bother with luxury brands if you can’t buy them new. They are money pits for people who have deep pockets and can pay for the pre engineered repairs needed
Hard pass
Better than a toyota.
👎🤨🤢🤢🤢
Can toyota make a car like this? F NO. They're junk and boring.
Oh gosh, the troll with 100 plus accounts is here. You really are pathetic you know that misinfo troll.
@@darkivaz-aaa1145 Anything Toyota/Honda makes is superior to that,💩 GM can even beat that oil burner..
@@charlesjackson1700 2.2 m fire recalls from toyota and 250k engine seized from Honda/Acura. Thank me later since you're a weak troll.
@@darkivaz-aaa1145why do you have to get so pissed when someone hates a Kia or Hyundai? Do you just not like when others have different opinions, whether you think they are wrong or right?
This car gets uglier every year
It’s very ugly and boxy 😂, I don’t like the CVT! 😂
You need your eyes check
I have a 2024 Soul EX, and it’s a piece of junk.
In what way?
Need roof rails unfortunately crappy CVT very bad
