The KIA SOUL (2011-15) 5DR SUV 1.6 GDI 138 EU5 SHAKER 6SPD is a compact crossover, combining an upright, small-SUV look with hatchback practicality. In the UK used-car market, it stands apart from conventional small family cars, yet remains easy to place in town and simple to enter and exit. The 1.6-litre petrol engine and Shaker trim suit commuting, errands and family duties, as well as weekend trips. Its boxy cabin and elevated seating help visibility and access, while bold styling is less anonymous than a Ford Fiesta or Vauxhall Corsa. It suits buyers wanting character without the size of a larger SUV in town. mycarcheck.com has recorded seven checks across six VINs, so this is a small sample rather than a market-wide picture. Those records show an average valuation of £4,400, mileage of 61,000 and 4,000 miles a year; vehicles had 2.3 previous keepers on average. Check each car’s history and condition before buying.
