Kia Goes Soul Searching

We take a closer look at the LATEST ADDITION to the KIA COLLECTION, the Kia Soul Echo

The stylish urban crossover, the Kia Soul, has had a dose of luxury added with the arrival of the new Kia Soul Echo. Echo is the latest bold addition to the Kia Soul 'Originals' line-up - a collection of distinctive versions each with their own unique personality - following on from other 'Originals' such as the Burner, Shaker and Samba. The Kia Soul Echo is available in a choice of two striking colours - Clear White or Quartz Black metallic - and both come with contrasting features that make them the mirror image of each other. The white Kia Soul Echo features stylish black 18-inch alloy wheels, black high-gloss door mirrors and a corresponding black sports stripe. The black Kia Soul Echo features white 18" alloy wheels, white high-gloss door mirrors and a sports stripe in white. The Kia Soul Echo is laden with luxurious features
usually associated with more expensive machinery. Inside, a full black leather interior and high-gloss black dashboard fascia continue the external monochrome look while an upgraded sound system (with subwoofer), Bluetooth and iPod connectivity and reversing sensors ensure the Echo has plenty to keep
everyone on board satisfied at all times. Air conditioning and privacy glass keep passengers and their belongings cool and shielded from prying eyes. On the move, the Kia Soul Echo is powered by a choice of either a 1.6- litre petrol or 1.6-litre CRDi diesel engine and its occupants are protected by a host of safety
features including six airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Traction Control (TC) and a five-star Euro NCAP rating. The Kia Soul Echo is available from just £13,995 OTR. The Kia Soul Echo also benefits from some minor revisions being made to the entire Soul line-up, including a trip computer and emergency stop signal, which flashes the hazard warning lights under heavy braking. 'Pull' style exterior door handles and illuminated electric window buttons are now standard on all Kia Soul versions. Bluetooth connectivity is standard from the '2' version and above. Finally, the Kia Soul Shaker, previously only available in Vanilla, is now available in Chocolate Brown metallic and comes with fully colour-coded bumpers.
