I have a 2013 Kia Soul and I love it. Mine has the sunroof too and it has a cassette player also. I carry a Doberman and my grandkids around and we have plenty of room. Also have the hamster mood lightening to the sound of music or you can choose your color and leave it on. Has to 19,200 miles on it. Would love to get the 2022 premium, but I just hate to trade mine in cause I love everything about it. Plus It is paid for!!!!
I'm a female subscriber, and a Soul owner. Mine is a 2014 SX Lux. We love it but one of the selling features for me was the mood ring light around the door speaker. Only to find out after purchasing it, that it was only in US models. I'm happy to see that they are included now in the Canadian models. However, I do have the panoramic sunroof, but if I'm not mistaken, you can't get them on any KIAs anymore?! I watch your videos all the time. You do a great job and cover a lot of details. We just paid off our Soul in April. So I'm shopping for a new one. Hopefully we can swing it soon. 🤞😊
Nice! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Yeah, the latest Soul doesn't have a panoramic sunroof, but you can still get that in something like the Sportage or the Sorento. I also really like the mood lighting, and I hope they expand that to more vehicles.
I did a 2021 Kia Soul LX, but I haven't done a 2022 Kia Soul LX. As soon as I get one, I'll get it on video for you. Feel free to search for the 2021 Kia Soul LX though, it really hasn't changed enough to matter.
Here's a question - these car have software; and of course we have that antenna shark-fin on the top. My car - AM/FM/Media - no app opt - is that antenna how they upgrade the software occasionally? I'm pretty certain Hyundai does some system monitoring with it. It does something as, maybe I'm wrong, I cannot think of an reason its there. For instance, I know the camera software must be constantly being tweaked and improved and they must want data from it for that - determine if its having troubles reading road lines in some areas. They have that screen that looks like a software updater.
So the cars don't receive over the air software updates. The Lane Keeping and Lane Follow Assist software is set from the factory, and won't receive an update unless it's required and if it is required, that is done at the dealer. If the cars have UVO Intelligence, they're capable of communicating over the air, but those crucial systems are not designed to be updated over the air right now.
OK, I see a lot of Forte 5 hatchback's here in town and I know they're not sold here in the US anymore...I have a 2021 Kia Soul EX now so I guess I'm going to have to do a custom order with the dealership here, Thank You again and I do subscribe to your channel
Any hope that the rear seats will someday fold down flat? I have a Skoda Yeti now and find the flat folding seats great AND that they are removable great. Perfect would be if the front passenger seat would fold down. ...
@@BrantfordKia - thanks, but I need to get a dog crate in the trunk. The Kia's trunk is not deep enough but could work with folded down rear seat IF when folded down, that seat were flat. Can't have a dog crate on an angle. :-(
@@musicofnote1 I have a canvas dog crate in my 2013 Kia with the back sits down and it fits perfect. He is comfortable inside the crate. My dog is a Doberman.
Excited to be getting a Soul for the DH, hopefully by the time I get one they'll bring back some fun colours in Canada. This year is soooo boring #green
@@BrantfordKia Okay, I'll wait for the answer patiently :) I live in Sweden and just bought my Kia eSoul 2020 with 16000km on the clock. I want to update the darn thing with the latest maps/software but here in Sweden I need to get Kia to do it and they charge 100$ for it if it's not during a service.
These trims don't have the vents between the seats, but the air is moved back there just fine. I believe there are under-seat vents that direct air back there.
I've had my 21 EX Premium for a few months now and I love it!
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
Just signed for the ex+. Very pleased.
Nice! You're going to love it!!

I love all of the new Kia souls designs. I have a 2021 S and love it!
Yeah, the Soul is great for space, practicality, and ease of driving and parking. It's a great vehicle!
What about the stereo in the 2022 Kia Soul what kind of stereo how many speakers how many watts can you give some information on
I have a 2018 And I love it. I’d like a 2022.
Yeah, Soul owner's LOVE their vehicles! I know I love mine!
My 2022 is EX. I bought it because I had mobility issues. Can’t find trip tracker
Does this car need a lot of maintenance
Hello I have a Question plz .. is it drive safe in Snow ❄?
Any way you could do a review of the 2022 GT Line Limited by any chance? :)
I expect to see 2022 Kia Souls again this month. We haven't had any in-stock for a while during this crazy time.
Me too
Can you do a video on the LX model? Also in BC, ICBC gives you 10% off insurance so sometimes EX with the safety features might be worth the upgrade.
I did a 2021 Kia Soul LX, but I haven't done a 2022 Kia Soul LX. As soon as I get one, I'll get it on video for you. Feel free to search for the 2021 Kia Soul LX though, it really hasn't changed enough to matter.
I wanna see the 2022 Kia Soul Turbo! Please! Wanna know if I should trade up my 2018 Kia Soul Turbo for the new 2022
You should! But I have no idea what the 2022 Kia Soul Turbo drives like, because we film in Canada, and that car isn't available to us here.
Can you do a review on the 2022 Kia K5 GT fully loaded

Can you sell Kia Soul's with Canadian spec's to people in the United States?
We cannot sell new cars out of country or out of province. It’s a breach of our franchise agreement :(
OK, I see a lot of Forte 5 hatchback's here in town and I know they're not sold here in the US anymore...I have a 2021 Kia Soul EX now so I guess I'm going to have to do a custom order with the dealership here, Thank You again and I do subscribe to your channel
What is the name of the Premium’s gray colour? …is this the only gray available?
The colour of the model in this video is called "Gravity Grey" and it's the only grey in Canada on the Soul for 2022.
Any hope that the rear seats will someday fold down flat? I have a Skoda Yeti now and find the flat folding seats great AND that they are removable great. Perfect would be if the front passenger seat would fold down. ...
They don't fold perfectly flat, but I think most people would be very happy with the overall space in this car, not to mention how well it drives.
@@BrantfordKia - thanks, but I need to get a dog crate in the trunk. The Kia's trunk is not deep enough but could work with folded down rear seat IF when folded down, that seat were flat. Can't have a dog crate on an angle. :-(

How does the S differ from the GT Line or the EX line?
We don't have the S model here in Canada. So you'll have to compare the American specs to these.
How can I monitor trip miles
Do you think kia will release an update for the 2020 kia esouls software to allow for wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay?
I have no idea, but I'm chasing that answer... the highest levels of Kia Canada know that I'm waiting for an answer when they have one to share.
@@BrantfordKia Okay, I'll wait for the answer patiently :) I live in Sweden and just bought my Kia eSoul 2020 with 16000km on the clock.

@@TottoZ That's crazy! We can do the map updates for free on that car, and we can do it from home.
@@BrantfordKia imagine if we had that service here in Sweden! Or do you mean that you can help me?
@@TottoZ I don't think I can. I know that our map update is North America... I'm pretty sure those maps won't help you get home any quicker! :)
Question: Where's the sunroof control located?
On the ceiling, just back of the rearview mirror, in the centre of the lights up there. You'll see it once you know where to look.
can you get leather seats?
In the top trim, yes.
White EX + with the dark grey wheels best looking of them all also don't like the cheap new badge
I love your colour choice! Interesting take on the new logo though. Most of our viewers seem to like the logo.
Price
Up-to-date pricing is always available on www.kia.ca
Second row Aircon?
These trims don't have the vents between the seats, but the air is moved back there just fine. I believe there are under-seat vents that direct air back there.
I do not like the new Kia logo and I believe most people feel the same.
Interesting! Our viewers are mostly in favour of the new logo.
No way, new logo is awesome
I like it!

Haha! Thanks!
