I purchased my 2020 Kia Soul S 5 months ago and am very happy with the style and performance, and especially the gas mileage. It's very fun to drive which is a huge plus for me. It also looks a little bit like a Range Rover and at about half the price which is another plus. The 10 year 100,000 mile warranty is great too.
At first i was against even trying a kia soul but now I’m all for trying one now I had 2019 optima last summer i had a choice either between that or Toyota Camry this year i just finished with a 2019 audi a5 sportback anyways, great job
It's a CVT idea but it's an IVT, instead of a rubber band like piece they use a chain, making the response not jerking at full throttle it's just a hit and go type deal
I guess if you own this car and want better high speed handling, you can get some better tires. Rental car companies usually specs for the cheapest tires available.
Manual mode on the Soul IVT allows you to shift to a simulated 8th gear, where the engine turns only 2,100 rpm at 70 mph, down from about 2,800 in normal D mode. I own a 2020 Soul LX 6-speed manual, and the engine also turns about 2,800 rpm at 70 in 6th. You really have to rev these small engines up to get any power from them, and I find both the 6-MT and the IVT keep the rpms higher up, but the IVT even more so.

I love my 2020 Kia Soul S! A blast to drive! My 2nd Soul. I had a 2014 base model for 3 yrs. I bought it brand new and I loved it too!

Wow!

Put it in sport mode, manual transmission, and it gets more fun.
I bet! I'm sorry I forgot to test that out. Next time for sure.

Awesome video Jerry! I’m so sorry for being late, I didn’t get the notification until today!😿😸
I know this is years later but you should have also shown us in Sport Mode because it does make a difference.
