So many ways to make 2015 Kia Soul fun

Let's talk about special Souls. Special versions of the iconic Kia Soul, that is; the 2015 model year including select enhancements focused on increasing the hot-selling urban utility vehicle's fun factor.

To reflect Soul owners' fierce individualism, three unique trim levels remain available: Base, Plus and Exclaim. 

In line with that, the 2015 Soul also displays its own unique character through a blend of funky personality, fun-to-drive characteristics and premium interior amenities intended to set it apart from the pack. A playful color palette, including Soul-exclusive colors such as Solar Yellow, Cloud White, Fathom Blue and Inferno Red pump up the dynamic equation that has made Soul such a dominate competitor in the "boxy" car segment.

And then there's the Caribbean Blue Special Edition option package, appearing late last year and continuing the long line of limited production Soul variants. The Caribbean Blue option package includes unique Caribbean Blue exterior paint, blue cloth seat inserts and blue interior door panels and center console surround, special-edition 18-inch alloy wheels, Infinity premium audio system with integrated navigation and rear-view camera.

Let's not forget the Red Zone 2.0 Special Edition option package. Available exclusively in black with distinctive red trim inserts in the grille, side skirts and lower valance, the Red Zone 2.0 stands apart from the crowd. Along with the unique body kit, the Red Zone 2.0 includes unique 18-inch wheels, rear spoiler, projector beam headlights, interior trim accents and sport pedals. The panoramic roof is available optionally.

Enhancements to packaging for the Base model include a new UVO eServices Package. UVO eServices is a free subscription telematics service available for 10 years/100,000 miles. For 2015, UVO eServices offers four new features: Geo-fencing, Speed Alert, Curfew Alert and Driving Score. Additionally, with the introduction of the Kia App store, select apps can be downloaded for free from iTunes or Google Play. The Kia app connector is now available for partnership with the content community, including Pandora, iHeart Radio and Yelp. Many more new technologies for comfort and convenience are featured in the new UVO system, including Siri "Eyes Free" and Local Search - powered by Google - for finding locations, addresses and points of interest. Sirius XM Travel Link, offering access to traffic, weather, fuel prices, sports scores, stock information and movie times, makes the Soul the perfect companion for those who live their lives on the road with family and friends.

Many of the UVO eServices functions are accessible through the owner's Smartphone when equipped with the UVO eServices app which is available at no charge. Also included with the package is a rear back-up camera display, auto on/off headlights and front fog lights. UVO eServices is standard on the Exclaim.

New for 2015 on the Exclaim model is an available interior Umber Color Package which is available with either the Fathom Blue or Cloud White exterior colors. Included with the option package is premium Nappa leather seating surfaces and door armrest accents. Outside, Gloss Black wheel inserts further set the Umber Color Package apart.

Motivation for the Base Soul is delivered by a gasoline direct injection (GDI) 130-horsepower (at 6,300 rpm) 1.6-liter all-aluminum DOHC four-cylinder engine. The Plus and Exclaim models enjoy the more powerful 2.0-liter NU power plant with GDI technology. The Plus and Exclaim models are available exclusively with the six-speed automatic gearbox.
