The Kia Soul is a sturdy car known for its boxy shape, strong handling ability, and plenty of room on the interior. The small SUV has been around since 2008 and is still being produced today. The 2020 Kia Soul comes in six different trim levels consisting of LX, S, GT-Line, X-Line, EX, and GT-Line Turbo. To find out which 2020 trim is the best for you, we will identify the key differences in each.
2020 Kia Soul LX
The LX is the starting point for trim levels on the Kia Soul and is fairly basic, lacking many of the features of the higher-level trims. If you choose the LX model, you will get a 2.0L 4-cylinder (147 hp) engine, a six-speed manual transmission, 16-inch wheels, folding rear seats, and a seven-inch touchscreen equipped with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Within the LX class, you also have the option to add a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and other subtle features such as cruise control and a storage console. You will get the most basic safety features consisting of a rearview camera and hill start assist. The LX lacks many of the more advanced safety features featured in higher trims.
Kia Soul X-Line
The X-Line comes with the same engine as the LX, as the 2.0L 4-cylinder (147 hp) engine comes standard with every trim level up until the top-of-the-line turbocharged GT. This next step up will provide you with an intelligent variable transmission (IVT), a leather-wrapped steering wheel, roof rails, and 18-inch alloy wheels unique to this trim. In terms of safety features, it is a step up from the LX and includes a blind-spot monitor with a rear cross-traffic alert.
Kia Soul S
The S shrinks back down to 16-inch wheels but is the first trim level with full Kia Drivewise active safety features. The S includes a forward-collision warning system with automatic braking, lane-keeping assist, and a drowsy driver attention warning system.
Kia Soul GT-Line
The GT-Line comes with its own set of 18-inch wheels, sporty accents, and is the last trim level with the seven-inch touchscreen display. The biggest upgrade is the optional GT-Line Sunroof package that will provide you with a sunroof, keyless ignition, and a wireless charging pad.
Kia Soul EX
The EX comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, heated seats, a removable cargo floor, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The real kicker is the upgraded 10.25-inch touchscreen and navigation system.
Kia Soul GT-Line Turbo
At the top of the line, the GT-Line Turbo is the only trim level to come with a bigger engine. The seven-speed dual-clutch 1.6L turbocharged engine offers 201 horsepower and a bunch of thrill. It comes with 18-inch wheels, LED interior lighting, and a 10-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system.
