Now entering its third generation, the Soul retains the boxy shape that made it so famous. However, it rides on an all-new platform, boasts fresh styling and comes standard with a new 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 147 horsepower via a CVT. The manual gearbox and turbo engine are no longer offered, however. The Soul EV, meanwhile, arrives with a selection of larger, 39.2-kWh and 64-kWh batteries that provide a range of 248 and 383 kilometres, respectively.
