2019 Kia Soul +

2019 Kia Soul + (2.0L) — Description of factory default features

Powertrain and chassis
- 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission (front-wheel drive). The engine is the naturally aspirated MPI unit used in non-turbo Soul models and is tuned for everyday driving and fuel economy.
- Front-wheel drive with conventional independent front and torsion-beam rear suspension tuned for a balance of ride comfort and predictable handling.
- Standard antilock braking system (ABS) with electronic stability control (ESC) and traction control.

Exterior
- Compact crossover/hatchback body with upright, boxy styling that emphasizes interior space and visibility.
- Projector-style halogen headlights, daytime running lights, and integrated taillights — lighting specification can vary by region and option packages.
- Painted exterior mirrors and body-colored bumpers; a set of alloy wheels as the factory-standard wheel choice on the + trim (wheel size commonly in the 16–17 inch range).
- Rear hatch with a low load floor and a rear wiper.

Interior and seating
- Five-passenger seating with cloth upholstery on the + trim as factory standard.
- Manual driver seat adjustment with height adjustment typically included; a 60/40 split-folding rear seat enables flexible cargo/passenger arrangements.
- Ample headroom and a relatively upright seating position for improved visibility.
- Tilt and telescoping steering column.

Convenience and climate
- Manual air conditioning with cabin vents and a basic HVAC control layout; multiple storage compartments and cupholders throughout the cabin.
- Power windows and power door locks with remote keyless entry.
- Cruise control and steering-wheel-mounted audio and phone controls for convenient operation while driving.

Infotainment and connectivity
- A factory-installed touchscreen audio system with Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming support.
- Smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) included on most factory systems for navigation and app access through the touchscreen.
- AM/FM radio, USB and auxiliary audio inputs, and a standard multi-speaker audio system.
- Rearview camera for backing assistance (standard equipment on most markets/models).

Safety and occupant protection
- Standard airbags including front and front-side airbags and side-curtain airbags for front and rear occupants.
- Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), child-seat anchor points (LATCH), and standard crash avoidance hardware such as ABS and ESC.
- Available option packages or higher trims could add driver-assist features (for example, forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, lane-keeping aids), but those are not part of the core factory standard equipment on the base + configuration.

Cargo and utility
- Rear cargo area with fold-flat 60/40 rear seats to expand carrying capacity; cargo cover and organizer features depend on the original factory package and region.
- Practical, upright cargo area dimensions relative to the vehicle footprint make the Soul well suited for everyday hauling and city use.

Notes
- Exact standard equipment can vary by market and the small differences between trim naming conventions and factory option packages. The items listed above reflect the common factory-supplied features for a 2019 Kia Soul in the “+”/mid-level configuration equipped with the 2.0-liter engine.
