Trim level differences
The 2024 Kia Soul is a subcompact hatchback that is available in five trim levels: LX, S, EX, GT-Line and GT-Line Tech.

This engine drives the front wheels (all-wheel drive is not available on the Soul) through a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Keep reading for our editorial breakdown of the Soul's standard and optional features.
Which Soul trim does Edmunds recommend?
We're sticking with the EX trim. Not only does the trim integrate heated seats, but Kia also adds heated side mirrors and more upscale cloth seat trim. Especially in colder climates, these upgrades are well worth it.
