KIA Soul 2026… Are They REALLY Making It?

I decided to ask KIA directly about the 2026 Soul. I’ve got a case number with them now and will share what they say. :red_car::tomato:

I heard 2025 is the last year for the Soul. Whatever is being shipped now from previous orders is all that’s left.

Where did you hear that? Local dealerships are telling me a 2026 Soul IS coming out.

I first saw it in this video. I’ve since confirmed it with a few dealerships. I’m in Canada, so I don’t know if that makes a difference.

Maybe that’s it. Maybe they’re only stopping the Soul in Canada…

Could be, but it seems weird they’d keep shipping them to the US but not Canada.

Maybe Canada gets more snow, and FWD cars aren’t as popular there? Maybe Kia thinks they’ll sell more AWD Seltos up there.

@Gordon
Possibly? Still doesn’t make sense why KIA would keep building the Soul but not send any to Canada if people want them.

Some Kia models are sold in the UK but aren’t shipped to the US, like the Stonic. I don’t know the reason, I think the Stonic would do great here.

@Gordon
Interesting! Guess we’ll wait and see what the person who posted this finds out.

It’s crazy times, who knows what to expect anymore :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Haha, you never know! Maybe the only car available in 2026 will be a Tesla :crazy_face:

@Vince
ROTFLMAO :laughing::joy:

Setting a reminder for this! One week.

I heard there won’t be any more Souls after 2025. That’s what the dealership told me.

Was that a US or Canadian dealership? :red_car::tomato:

I see so many Souls on the road that I think we’ll have a good supply of used parts for a while, so I’m not too worried. I’d be surprised if they stopped making a car that sells so well, but car companies have made dumber choices before.
