Kia Soul - Generation 1.2 (2010-2014)

KIA SOUL (2010-2014)

Launched alongside the 2.0 models back in 2010, the updated Soul has conventional pull type door handles and a 1.6 engine. However, this loses the fog lamps and ABS brakes. Do take note the transmission was upgraded to a six speed unit in 2012, which also added a telescopic steering.
