Good for you for making an informed decision before taking the plunge! To answer your question, a Kia Soul features four cylinders, which you’ll usually find in smaller vehicles.

In fact, both available engines in the 2022 Kia Soul have four cylinders but offer different horsepower and torque specifications. The base engine is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that delivers 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque.

If you want to take things up a notch, opt for the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that boasts 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. You’ll also get better fuel economy with a four-cylinder like the Kia Soul.

Another bonus? Not only is the Kia Soul an affordable option, but you’ll be able to save on car insurance as well with this low-value vehicle!
