PROS Distinctive looks Spacious, attractive interior Quiet diesel engine Electric version available Overview Cars from Kia aren't renowned for being the most characterful of machines reliable, value for money and practical maybe, but not exactly packed with personality. The new Kia Soul is different it's more extrovert and all the more likeable for it. When the original model was launched in 2009 it was the start of a more youthful design direction for the Korean firm, and now it's time for an all-new second-generation model. More space inside Although every body panel is different, the new Soul still looks very similar to the outgoing model. It's not simply a facelift though this is a new model that's longer and wider than before with a greatly improved interior. The bigger external dimensions and a lengthened wheelbase mean there's greater head, leg and shoulder room than before and the Soul really is a car that feels bigger on the inside than the outside. It feels far more spacious than the larger Kia Sportage 44 for example, especially for rear passengers.
