What Changed

The Soul benefits from a number of updates for 2012. The main difference on the exterior are the updated front fascia, rear fascia and hood. Other exterior changes include revised headlamps/taillamps and new wheel designs. Interior changes include an updated center stack and gear shift design. Updated 1.6l and 2.0l four cylinder engines have more power. An optional ECO package adds low rolling resistance tires and start/stop functionality.
