About Kia Soul

The Kia Soul is a compact crossover with a boxy, upright design that sets it apart from the rounded silhouettes of most rivals in its class. It is aimed at buyers who want urban practicality and a distinctive look without climbing to a larger or pricier SUV. Prices start from AED 57,500.

The Kia Soul retains somewhere in the region of 53% of its value after five years — a reasonable result for a niche-styled compact crossover, and broadly in line with what mainstream compact hatchbacks hold in the UAE market.

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: the boxy proportions deliver far more usable cabin volume than rivals of the same footprint, and the Soul's visual identity is genuinely one of a kind at this price point. The upright seating position makes it easy to get in and out, which daily urban users will appreciate.
  • Cons: the naturally aspirated engine lacks the low-end punch of turbocharged alternatives now found in some rivals, so highway merges and overtaking require a little more planning. The exterior styling is polarising — buyers who want a conventional look may find the Soul's silhouette too unconventional.Buyers also consider the Soul also frequently consider the Volkswagen Polo, Toyota Yaris, and Hyundai i20 — mainstream compact alternatives that share a similar price bracket. Where those rivals offer more conventional styling and, in some cases, turbocharged engines, the Soul wins on interior volume and character for buyers who prioritise practicality and standing out from the crowd.

Frequently asked questions

The 1.6L MPI A/T STD is the starting point and covers the essentials for everyday driving. The 1.6L MPI A/T adds a more comprehensive set of comfort, convenience, and technology features — buyers who want a fuller specification should budget up to AED 76,800 for the step-up.
The Soul's boxy, upright body gives it a clear advantage in headroom and rear-seat volume over the lower-slung Yaris, despite a similar exterior footprint. Buyers who frequently carry adult rear passengers or bulky cargo will find the Soul meaningfully more practical, though the Yaris has the edge on fuel economy and resale familiarity.
The Soul returns 12.7 Km/L on a combined cycle, which is respectable for a naturally aspirated petrol crossover. City stop-start driving will push consumption higher than the combined figure, but the engine's modest power output means it is not a heavy user by class standards.
The Soul is estimated to retain around 53% of its value after five years, which is broadly in line with mainstream compact rivals in the UAE. Its niche styling appeals to a specific buyer, which can make resale slightly less liquid than more conventional hatchbacks — but buyers who target it specifically tend to pay fair market prices.
The Soul seats 5 and its tall cabin makes it genuinely comfortable for four adults, with the fifth middle-rear seat best suited to shorter trips. For small families doing school runs and weekend trips around the UAE, the combination of urban manoeuvrability and strong interior volume makes it a practical daily option.
