Anyone else waiting on the 2025 Kia Soul...?

I’ve been hearing a lot about the 2025 Kia Soul and how it’s now available in some places. Anyone managed to check it out or have any updates on when it’ll hit more dealerships? I’m thinking of getting one but IDK when it’ll be available where I live. Thoughts?

Yeah, they announced pricing in the US back in July 2024. It starts at $20,290, which isn’t bad, but availability depends on your local dealership.

That’s a pretty good price. Any idea if dealerships are getting enough inventory, or is it hit or miss?

Some places have decent stock, others are running low. It’s definitely a mixed bag.

In Canada, it’s already out, and people seem to love the cargo space. If you’re there, you should check your local dealer.

I’m in Toronto, and yeah, they have a good selection. Which trim are you thinking about?

Same here! I got to see the S trim, and it’s super practical. Great for road trips.

Europe mainly gets the EV version. Kinda wish they had more of the gas models available here.

Oh, for real? Didn’t know that. So, it’s mostly electric in Europe?

Yeah, it’s been like that for a while. They really push the EVs here.

If you’re in Asia, especially South Korea, the 2025 Soul is out and pretty popular. Anyone here got one?

I’m in Japan. It’s available but depends on local demand. I’ve seen a few on the streets!

Did you try driving one yet? How’s the performance?

Africa and the Middle East have limited inventory. Import regulations are a pain. I hope they get more soon.

Wait, so it’s really that limited? Bummer…

Yeah, it sucks. I’ve been waiting forever to get one here in Dubai.

Latin America’s got it in some markets, but the import tariffs can make it pricey. Anyone from that region care to share their experience?

Here in Brazil, it’s available but not cheap at all. Import taxes are wild.

Do you know if it’s worth it even with the extra cost?

Just a heads-up: if you’re in the US, check local inventories. Some places have tons of stock, others not so much. Anyone see the Soulmate Special Edition yet?
