Kia has priced its second generation Soul line-up from £12,600 to £21,550.
The new SUV crossover model, which has already entered UK showrooms, is based on the Cee’d chassis and is longer, wider and lower than the model it replaces. Three trim levels are available from launch – Start, Connect and Connect Plus – with top-end Mixx and Soul Maxx being added in the summer.
All versions are front-wheel-drive with five-doors and a choice of 1.6 diesel and petrol units. C02 ratings range from 132-170g/km.
Dealers will be offering retail customers Kia’s Care-3 (three years) and Care-3 Plus (five years) fixed price servicing and maintenance packages, which are transferable to subsequent owners.
