Kia fans will be pleased to know that Kia South Africa has launched the new Kia 2.0-litre Soul in South Africa, adding to the current 1.6-litre variant. The compact crossover Soul comes with some new enhancements both on the outside and on the inside.

The exterior styling features a new bonnet along with new front and rear bumpers to enhance and modernise the Soul’s look.
