Who Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi suits in Warsaw
In Warsaw, the Kia Soul is rented by people looking for a small car with a big cabin. Often that means families taking elderly parents around the city to appointments and the shops, dog owners who want a high boot opening, and people on a contract who commute into the centre every day from Wesoła, Ząbki or Marki.
The Soul is short, so it fits into spaces a larger car cannot use, and its tall, upright shape gives a good view at busy junctions in Grochów or Targówek. The 128 hp 1.6 CRDi diesel has plenty of torque, so the car pulls away from the lights briskly even with a full load of passengers. The manual gearbox is light to use and copes well with daily traffic.
For a trip out of Warsaw the Soul works for a small group, for example a weekend in the Biała Forest or in Podlasie. At a relaxed pace the diesel uses little fuel, so a long drive does not mean frequent fill-ups. If four of you are going away for longer, pack sensibly, as the boot is smaller than in a typical compact.
Things worth knowing about the Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi
- The Soul concept was shown at the 2006 Detroit Motor Show. It was designed at Kia's design studio in California.
- The Soul was the first Korean car recognised by the red dot design awards, in 2009.
- In the USA the Soul became famous for its hamster ads, and 500,000 were sold there within five years.
- The first-generation Soul was built in Gwangju, South Korea.
These facts are about the model generation and its history, not the equipment of this particular car.
Routes from Warsaw and the mileage allowance of Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi
The daily rate of Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi includes 300 km, and the allowance adds up across the whole rental. For the shortest rental, 5 days, that is 1 500 km. Below you can see how much of it is left after coming back from popular routes. A kilometre over the allowance costs 1 PLN.
Distances and times are approximate, measured from the city centre on expressways and motorways, without stops. The renter fuels the car during the rental, and we hand it over with a full tank and take it back the same way.

Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi compared with similar cars
Looking for an alternative to Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi, or torn between two cars? Below we set it against the cars in our fleet that renters in Warsaw weigh up alongside it. The figures in the table and in the lists of strengths come from the price list and the specification, and under each pair we say plainly who each car suits better.
Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi or Citroën C3 Picasso 1.6 HDi?
Both cars are tall, short and easy to park, and in both you sit higher than in an ordinary hatchback. The Citroën C3 Picasso is a small MPV with a rear bench that slides 15 cm and a 385 l boot that grows when you slide it forward. The Kia Soul has a stronger diesel but a noticeably smaller boot. For a house move, shopping and a pushchair the C3 Picasso is better; for everyday driving with power in reserve, the Soul.

Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi or Ford Focus?
Both have a diesel and a manual gearbox. The Kia Soul is shorter and taller, so it is easier to get into and you see more of the junction ahead, while the Ford Focus is a conventional compact with a bigger boot (385 l) and calmer manners on the expressway. For town, short trips and driving older parents around choose the Soul; for longer trips with luggage, the Focus.

Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi or Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi?
Two frugal manual diesels for everyday driving. The Peugeot 308 HDi has a weaker 90 hp engine but a bigger boot and a classic compact shape, while the Kia Soul has a clearly stronger engine, a higher driving position and a shorter body. The Soul pulls away from the lights more briskly with a full car; the 308 HDi takes more luggage. For town choose the Soul; for a trip with suitcases, the 308 HDi.

Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi or Peugeot 308 1.6 THP Automat?
The Kia Soul has a manual gearbox and a diesel; the Peugeot 308 THP has an automatic and a 156 hp petrol. That is the first thing to check if your licence only covers automatics. The Soul is shorter and taller, easier to get into and to park, while the Peugeot has a bigger boot and is quicker on the expressway. Without a clutch and with luggage choose the Peugeot; for town and low fuel use, the Soul.

The Soul is easier to park and uses less fuel when driven gently, while the Mazda carries two more people and, with the third row folded, has a 426 l boot. For two or three people in town choose the Soul; for a big family or the school run, the Mazda 5.

Every engine version of the Kia Soul first generation AM (2008–2014)
The table lists the engine versions of this generation sold in Europe, with power, torque, drive and production years. The row with our car is highlighted, and versions we have in the fleet link to their own pages. We do not rent the other versions, but the table shows at a glance how they differ from the Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi.
Figures separated by a slash are the power or torque of successive variants of the same version (for example before and after the facelift) or of the versions named in the row. A range such as 136–163 PS covers several outputs of the same engine. Figures are for the European market and come from manufacturer material and technical data catalogues.
Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi and other versions of this model
Looking for another version of this model, a stronger engine, a diesel or a different year? Those versions are not in our fleet, but below we say plainly how they differ from Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi and when our car is all you need. You can book Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi straight away.
Kia Soul 1.6 benzyna (I) or Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi?
1.6 petrol, 126 PS (until 2011); after the facelift 1.6 GDI, 140 PS
The petrol Soul is quieter, especially just after starting, but it has less torque than our 1.6 CRDi diesel, which pulls away more briskly with a full car and uses less fuel on daily trips.
Kia Soul II (2014–2019) or Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi?
second generation, 1.6 GDI 132 PS, 1.6 T-GDI 204 PS
The second-generation Soul has a more modern interior and a powerful turbo version, but kept the boxy shape and high driving position. Our first-generation Soul has the same strengths in town: a short body and excellent visibility.
Kia Soul EV (2014) or Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi?
electric, 110 PS, 27 kWh battery, 212 km range (NEDC)
The Soul EV was Kia's first electric car sold outside Korea. If you are looking for an electric Soul, our diesel Soul is just as practical in town, and you can leave Warsaw without stopping at chargers.
Kia e-Soul (2019–2024) or Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi?
electric, 136 PS with 39.2 kWh or 204 PS with 64 kWh, up to 452 km WLTP
In Europe the third generation was sold only as the electric e-Soul, until 2024. Our first-generation diesel Soul needs no charging and has a similarly practical boxy shape that makes it easy to get into and to park.
