The 2012 Kia Soul features a standard 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine, allowing it to put out 135 horsepower. A 2.0-liter engine with 160 horsepower is also available. The 2012 model also has improved fuel economy over previous years, giving owners 31 miles per gallon in the city and 34 miles per gallon on the highway. While you probably will not consider the car fast, it has plenty of power to get you around town and from place-to-place on the highway.

On the outside of the car, you will surely enjoy the LED taillights and projector headlights, which make the car highly visible at night. It also has a new hood and redesigned bumpers, which give the car an entirely different look. The 2012 Kia Soul has a truly unique look that will get you noticed out on the streets.

While you are driving the 2012 Kia Soul, you will enjoy a quiet ride, since the car has very thick insulation on its dash. The Infinity audio system, however, allows you to override the quiet ride and listen to your music as loud as you wish. This is definitely a much better stereo system than you would expect to come with a vehicle.

If you are looking for additional options, the 2012 Kia Soul has an optional navigation system or a voice controlled information and entertainment system, powered by UVO. You can also select heated leather seats, a push-button starting system and an automatic climate control system that allows you to set a temperature and keep it there. These seem like options that you would find in a luxury automobile, so it is strange to find them in an affordable ride like the 2012 Kia Soul.
