2015 Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi Connect Diesel Hatchback

Description

So, I’ve got this 2015 Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi Connect — second owner, kept it well, no major issues. It’s not some showroom flash, just a solid, practical little SUV that actually feels like it’s meant to do more than just get you from A to B.

It’s in Inferno Red — quite a bold choice, honestly — with 17-inch alloy wheels, a chrome-accented sports grille, and body-coloured bumpers, mirrors, and door handles. Feels pretty sharp when you’re driving it, especially in the morning light.

Inside, it’s got that Connect trim — leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift, satin chrome door handles, and a black high-gloss dash that’s not too flashy but still clean and modern. The cabin is actually quite roomy, especially with the 60/40 split-folding second-row seats — useful if you’re ever travelling with kids or just need a bit more space.

Tech side? There’s a 4.3-inch touchscreen with DAB/RDS, CD/MP3, Bluetooth with voice control, USB and AUX. Cruise control with speed limiter, reversing camera, and even a trip computer. I use the voice control a lot — hands-free music, GPS, all that — saves me from fiddling with the buttons.

Comfort features are pretty standard: automatic headlights, air con, front and rear electric windows, illuminated glovebox, and even a pollen filter. The seatbelts have reminders, which I appreciate — especially when I’ve got a long drive ahead.

Safety’s good too — ABS, EBD, ESC, hill-start assist, brake assist, and multiple airbags (front, side, curtain). The electric mirrors with LED indicators and fog lights are a nice touch. Flex Steer lets you adjust steering feel depending on what you’re doing — city driving or winding roads — which is handy.

The engine’s a 1.6 CRDi diesel, 126 bhp — smooth, quiet, and not too thirsty. It’s got a good balance of performance and efficiency, and I’ve never had any major issues with it. The automatic transmission is quiet and responsive, no lurching or jerking.

I’ve had it for a few years now, mostly city and occasional longer trips. It’s not flashy, but it’s reliable, practical, and actually looks good parked in the driveway.

It’s sitting in Sittingbourne, Borough of Swale — no need to go far to see it.

The price is £6,749.10 — fair for what it is, honestly. I’m not trying to sell it fast or push it, just someone who’s looking for a reliable, well-equipped little SUV that doesn’t cost a fortune.

If you’re interested, I’m happy to show it around or chat about it — no pressure, just a real conversation. No high-pressure sales, just a car that works.

I’m not selling it to anyone who’s going to drive it to the far end of the country and then complain about the fuel economy — I’ve seen that one. This one’s actually been used responsibly.

Let me know if you’d like to see it.
