Kia Soul
Kia Motors introduced us to the very first Soul almost nine years ago. It was at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show where the uniquely shaped and vibrant Soul made its debut and a year later walked away a winner at the Red Dot Awards. Now in its second-generation, the box-on-wheels has become a best-seller in the USA. The South Korean carmaker has made some mild changes to their cubed vehicle. Taking a closer look at the 2017 facelifted model, the entry-level Soul has a pricetag of R309 995 and is powered by a 92kW/152Nm 1.6-litre petrol engine and comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission with the option of automatic.
