Now that Kia has a Turbo Soul, their like long lost siblings separated at birth.
- Both have 1.6L Turbos with similar Hp/Tq.
Soul: 201hp/195tq.
Juke: 188hp/177tq.
- Similar weight.
Soul: 2714lbs.
Juke: 2912lbs.
- Both have funky love it or hate it styling.
Motor Trend should put them Head 2 Head. Both fwd manual’s.

The Soul doesn’t look like a gangrenous big toe.

Don’t get too excited about the 1.6T. There won’t be a manual, just the 7DCT. It’s also not anything that’s supposed to be remotely close to a hot hatch. So think about how exciting a MINI Countryman S, Fiat 500x 2.4L, or Nissan Juke Nismo are and that’s pretty much where this Soul Exclaim is really attacking.
Now the next generation Soul which comes out in another 18 months is going to be the one to be excited for.

i dig the Soul. It has a funky style that say Scion used to have with its little bread trucks.

What NISMO? The NISMO (non-RS), seems like sticker job. The RS is a serious contender in tiny pond of hot hatches.

The Juke Nismo since the Soul Exclaim has the same amount of effort placed into the dynamics versus the regular versions. It just doesn’t seem like it since the NA 1.6L and 2.0L models are still running ancient engines. In fact I think the 201 hp 1.6T gets substantially better fuel economy than even the base Soul since the 1.6T w/ 7DCT is the fuel economy setup in the Hyundai lineup.
