Kia Soul to Get Turbochared?

Ok, hamster lovers, it's time to get some wind in your hair.  Kia has, subtly, announced that they may be introducing a turbocharged version on their iconic Soul, the CUV made famous by the dancing hamster commercials. 
 
We can expect (or at least hope for) an all-wheel drive version, with an anticipated 1.6-liter turbo-charged 4-cylinder engine, producing somewhere in the neighborhood of 180-200 horsepower.  Given the size and weight of the Kia Soul, that should be more than enough pep to excite the average driver.   Again, based solely on guesswork, we would anticipate a return of the life-sized rodents for promotional purposes, although this time they may have a bit more of a wind-blown look. 


Until we hear more however, the 2016 Kia Soul is a wonderfully fun to drive and practical crossover vehicle, and a mainstay in the Kia lineup.  You can view our selection of Kia Soul models at www.lujackkia.com
