The 2020 Kia Soul Performs Well in Many Regards

If you'd like to buy or lease a stylish and versatile vehicle, you'll want to check out the 2020 Kia Soul. This compact crossover has a lot of personalities, and it could make driving around Ramsey, NJ a little more interesting. This overview will give you a better idea of what's under the engine of the Kia Soul as well as what safety components have been integrated into the vehicle.

Most of our Kia Soul trims are powered by a 2.0-Liter, in-line four-cylinder engine. This engine will give you 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. On the LX, you could have either a six-speed manual transmission or intelligent variable transmission. The S, GT-Line, X-Line, and EX all use the intelligent variable transmission, which is smooth and responsive. If you're interested in getting something a little more powerful, you'll want to check out the GT-Line Turbo. This trim runs on a 201-horsepower, 1.6-Liter turbocharged engine that comes with 195 pound-feet of torque.

The GT-Line Turbo has a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that enhances its sporty nature. If you're mindful of your gas consumption, you'll be pleased with the fuel economy numbers on the 2020 Kia Soul. The 2.0-liter engine can achieve up to a combined 31 miles per gallon, while the more advanced engine earns an estimated 29 miles per gallon.

Safety is an area in which Kia has focused a lot of its attention. Available on the Kia Soul are many driver-assist systems. These systems can monitor how you're doing about other vehicles or obstacles on the road, and you'll be alerted to potential problems. If for whatever reason, you're unable to hit the brakes or correct your steering in time, your vehicle may be able to take evasive measures on its own.

Some of the systems you can take advantage of our forward collision-avoidance assist with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot collision warning, and rear cross-traffic collision assist. If you have any questions about how these components work, reach out to us at Liberty Kia in Ramsey, NJ.
