How the Schedule Has Changed Over Time

2025 — Discontinued in the US
A 16-Year Production Run Closes Out Final Model Year
After roughly 1.5 million units sold, Kia wound down US Soul production in October 2025 to focus its lineup on crossovers and EVs. Regardless of model year, any Soul that comes through our doors still gets the full factory-scheduled service at Dean McCrary Kia.
2023 — Refresh, Turbo Dropped
X-Line and the 1.6T Exit the Lineup Engine Change
A mid-cycle update cut both the X-Line trim and the 1.6L turbo-GDI engine, so the 2.0L MPI paired with the CVT became the sole setup through the remainder of production.
2020 — New Generation
Third Generation Debuts, Two Engines Offered New Gen
Two powertrains launched the 3rd-gen Soul: a 147-hp 2.0L MPI standard across the lineup, plus a 201-hp 1.6L turbo-GDI limited to GT-Line/Turbo trims through MY2022. Plan on oil and tire rotation every 7,500 miles or 12 months, a cabin air filter swap starting at 15,000 miles and repeating every 30,000, an engine air filter every 30,000 miles or 24 months, spark plugs at 96,000 miles for the 2.0L (42,000 for the 1.6T), brake fluid every 48,000 miles or 48 months (24 months on 2020 models), and the first coolant service at 120,000 miles.

Soul Maintenance FAQs

Which Schedule Matches My Soul's Year?

Pick anywhere from 2020 through 2025 (all FWD hatchbacks) to see oil and rotation timing along with filter, spark plug, and coolant intervals.

Kia Discontinued the Soul — Will You Still Work on Mine?

Absolutely — despite US production wrapping up in 2025, our factory-trained techs here in Hattiesburg service every Soul model year using genuine Kia parts.

Does Warranty Coverage Still Apply to My Older Soul?

Coverage under the first-owner-only, 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty starts ticking from the original in-service date, so whether yours still applies comes down to age, mileage, and ownership history — have us pull up your VIN to confirm. See factory warranty for details.
