Well, it looks like General Motors has done it.

Do I see hints of Jeep Renegade in this?Well, it looks like General Motors has done it.

Looks like a bronco to me to compete with ford. I wonder if it will have a bronco price.It looks a little like the bronco, just smaller, and yeah the Renegade too.
When I think Chevy Spark, I think of this little car. Too bad it’s electric, but just as well because GM would have used that 1.2L 3 cylinder turbo GDI and a CVT in it for ultimate reliability. I wonder if it is going to be sold in the US?
Seems like the new spark is a rebadged GM-China model
.
It's Chinese and it's an EV.I like the way that car looks.
I never understood why they discontinued the Element. I could honestly see them having success bringing it back as an EV. Kinda of like the new VW ID Buzz (retro + new).I wish Honda would bring back the Element.

I would totally buy this if they sold it in the US. I love the styling.Well, it looks like General Motors has done it.

This is the one I seen the other day. Calling it a “Sport Sedan.” This explains the other comment about classic sedans having this color. As for sport model. It used to mean two doors not four.
Talking about this is a KIA SOUL forum. Not Broncos. Your screen shot is gay. Go suck an egg. You snowflake!What are you talking about?
Ai lolThe AI overview seems to disagree:

A new user @Carizma22 tried posting this earlier but it got caught in the spam filter. Sorry, there’s nothing I can do about that, the spam filter doesn’t like 1st posts with links.
Take this for what it’s worth, who knows if it’s true, I hope it is.
Hard to tell what is real over the netWow. It has all the look and feel of a real press release, something that Corporate Kia would send out to the dealers and let them put it on their websites. A lot a Kia dealer websites use a patterned approach, a couple of versions published by corporate so there is some family uniformity. I have no evidence to doubt it's authenticity.
The automotive press at the moment is distracted by the whole tariff thing. Latest I have read is that South Korea is all over the idea of a negotiated deal, keeping both trading partners happy. If they do, and since Hyundai/Kia already has a strong presence here, 2026 Kia Soul's maybe on the way without interruption.
It comes up when doing a duck duck go search. It seems to be a real Kia dealer, so hopefully they’re not misleading their customers.@Carizma22 account created to publish an announcement from "Kia of Beavercreek":
"Kia of Beavercreek" seems to be in a suburb of Dayton Ohio and "carizma22"is claiming to be from Houston Texas. Sure, I suppose it is possible a customer in Houston Texas was browsing car dealers in Dayton Ohio and created an account here to share this big scoop he found.
Could be a chicken or egg scenario though. Did a person in Houston Texas discover a 2026 Kia soul announcement from Dayton Ohio and decide to publish, or did misleading spam, maybe out of Houston, elevate search results?It comes up when doing a duck duck go search. It seems to be a real Kia dealer, so hopefully they’re not misleading their customers.

The modern business model rewards "clicks" as truthfulness is tossed out the window.
Looks more like a Gerbal than a hamster. I guess Chevy figures if you can't have a gerbal in your A*, then they can put an A* in a Gerbal. 🤣🤣🤣Well, it looks like General Motors has done it.

If you are asking about the Kia Soul then the answer is no. The 2.0l 4 cylinder used since 2020 is MPI.
There was a turbo gdi 1.6l available through 2023 I believe but has been discontinued in the Soul.
I'm hoping my Wife’s 2024 Soul S is MPI. Belive it is.In the newer 2.5L used in larger cars they use both MPI+GDI, kinda like Toyota’s D-4S system.
I believe the V6 is still GDI only and the 1.6L Turbo is too, but the 2.0L used in Soul is back to MPI.
Yes. The 2.0L since 2020 is MPII'm hoping my Wife’s 2024 Soul S is MPI. Belive it is.
