The 2022 Kia Soul is rolling out to dealerships everywhere. The Kia Soul is a popular subcompact crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Kia Motors since 2008. The Soul is one of Kia’s most popular models having sold over 60k units already in 2021. The 2022 Kia Soul offers a modern interior with all of the tech-friendly options you’d expect from a new vehicle. The Kia Soul also offers drivers incredible fuel economy. In this article, we will explore the 2022 Kia Soul Fuel Economy.

2022 Kia Soul EV Update

While the Kia Soul was expected to debut to the United States market in 2021, the plans were ultimately scrapped. Kia Motors decided to forgo the EV Soul and opted for the Niro EV instead. As of this article, the 2022 Kia Soul EV looks to no longer be a priority for the company. Kia is expected to keep the 2022 Kia Soul for sale in its European and Asian markets, giving us hope that an EV may eventually be marketed here in the US.

Engines and Drivetrain

The 2022 Kia Soul comes in two available engines each offering it’s own drivetrain. The base level engine, available on most trim levels, is a 2.0L Dual Overhead Camshaft engine. This engine puts out 147 max horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. The second engine is a 1.6L Dual Overhead Camshaft engine with Turbocharger. The Turbo engine puts out a higher max horsepower (201) and higher torque (195 lb-ft). The engines are available in an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) and 7-Speed Dual Clutch Transmission, respectively.

2022 Kia Soul Fuel Economy By Trim Level

Because the Kia Soul is offered with two different engine options, drivers can expect different levels of fuel economy. Other factors, such as trim levels, also may cause a fluctuation in fuel economy. The highest fuel economy comes on the 2022 Kia Soul EX at an EPA estimated 35 highway MPG. This trim also gets the best city fuel economy at an EPA estimated 29 city MPG. We break out the fuel economy for each trim level below:

2022 Kia Soul LX Fuel Economy

  • 28 City MPG
  • 33 Highway MPG
  • 30 Combined MPG

2022 Kia Soul S Fuel Economy

  • 28 City MPG
  • 33 Highway MPG
  • 30 Combined MPG

2022 Kia Soul X-Line Fuel Economy

  • 28 City MPG
  • 33 Highway MPG
  • 30 Combined MPG

2022 Kia Soul EX Fuel Economy

  • 29 City MPG
  • 35 Highway MPG
  • 31 Combined MPG

2022 Kia Soul Turbo Fuel Economy

  • 27 City MPG
  • 32 Highway MPG
  • 29 Combined MPG

2022 Kia Soul LX Fuel Economy

  • 28 City MPG
  • 33 Highway MPG
  • 30 Combined MPG

As you can see, the Turbo trim level gets noticeably lower fuel economy, but offers drivers more horsepower and torque as a trade-off. Still, the Kia Soul offers incredible fuel economy for its class.
