Used 2023 Kia Soul Wagon Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
For 2023, Kia has streamlined the Soul hatchback range to five trim levels: LX, S, EX, GT-Line and GT-Line Tech. All models are equipped with a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder that makes 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. This engine drives the front wheels (all-wheel drive is not available on the Soul) through a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
Which Soul trim does Edmunds recommend?
Though the Kia Soul's trim lineup has been reduced, the midlevel EX trim remains our recommendation since it ups the hatchback's comfort factor with premium cloth upholstery and heated seats and still comes in at a reasonable price.
