2012 Kia Soul at Hawkinson Kia in Matteson, IL

The new 2012 Kia Soul brings Engine improvements, interior improvements as well as award winning safety improvements. The new powertrains and a reconfigured lineup keep its ratings here at TCC at the higher end of the compact class. The 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines are nudged higher in power and gas mileage. The base engine now has 135 horsepower; the upgrade has 164 hp.With six-speed manual and automatic transmissions, and a new Eco package, the Soul's fuel economy hits a new peak of 29/36 mpg--still less than cousin Hyundai's Elantra sedan, but a mile per gallon or more than the 2010-2011 Soul.

The Soul's the rare compact that fits tall adults well with extra headroom, even. The back seat's just as fine for two adults or three kids, and the seats fold down to open up a 53-cubic-foot cargo hold. The Soul  It's no Honda Element, but then again, neither is the Element anymore, since it's also been purged from the new-car universe. The Soul's versatile, spacious interior takes full advantage of tall roofline in front and in back.

Along with all of its advancements and upgrades the new Soul also brings new safety advancements winning it a Top Safety Pick award from the IIHS.Winners of the Top Safety pick must receive the highest rating of "Good" in all 4 of Kia's crashworthiness tests.  Winners must also have electronic stability control. A rearview camera's now an option--and to go with the stock USB ports and satellite radio, there's now HD Radio as an option, and a navigation system, which unfortunately can't be had if you also opt for UVO, Kia's voice-activated controls for phone and audio.
