Kia Soul: a Parts and Accessories Buyer's Guide for Canada

Your Soul is what you think of when you think of a Kia SUV. It's practical enough for the everyday drive around Toronto. It's comfortable, and with loads of cargo space to boot. It's pleasant to drive, not to mention fuel-efficient enough for the occasional Ontario road trip. Best of all, you got it all in a funky-looking package.

You knew when you bought it, though: not every trim's created equal. Base Soul LX, for instance, went for around $30,000 CAD, and you could see by price point how different it was from Soul EX at the top of the line, a crossover that went for about $35,000 CAD. That is, there was plenty in between, under the hood of models like S and GT-Line, which went for $32,500+ and $34,000+ CAD respectively.

In other words, if you're shopping Kia parts for Soul online here in Canada, there are some things you'll need to keep in mind. For one, your SUV's particular features (important to know when, say, customizing -- adding Kia accessories), and secondly, the common problems you might run into (for which you'll need the right parts -- genuine OEM).

Good thing you came to us at Canada Kia Parts; we've got the info on both.

Kia Soul Overview

Take the latest 2023 Kia Soul, for instance. It's got a 147-horsepower, 2.0-litre, four-cylinder engine standard, paired with a continuously variable auto (CVT) transmission, and a front-wheel (FWD) drivetrain. Popular standard and optional features include:

The thing is, some of these are standard on the GT-line trim and higher. In other words, know your Soul model year and its features before you buy. That way, it'll be easy to decide whether to get this part or that accessory.

Common Kia Soul Problems

Regardless of trim, Soul has issues you might run into occasionally. Here are a couple of the commonest, from the model years of the 2010s.

1. Faulty Electronics

Has the audio through the speakers in your Soul apparently gone out? Most likely, the problem's the electronics; the infotainment system's software probably needs a hard reset. This is a known issue with models from between 2010 and 2016 with 242,000 kilometers or less on their odometers. To do that reset, disconnect the negative battery terminal, wait 15 minutes or so, and reconnect the terminal. If that doesn't work, you may need a replacement.

2. Transmission Defects

If your manual transmission is having trouble shifting into first gear, there's a good chance it's because of a bad shifter lower skirt. This is a known issue with Soul models from between 2010 and 2017 with 162,000 kilometers or less on their odometers. The skirt will have to be replaced.
