Each year links to its full interval-by-interval schedule. Every year also has its own recall history — worth a check while you’re here.

How the Schedule Has Changed Over Time

2025 — Discontinued in the US
Production Ends After 16 Years Final Model Year
Kia ended US Soul production in October 2025 after roughly 1.5 million units sold, as the brand pivots toward crossovers and EVs. Every Soul on the road — any model year — still qualifies for full factory-scheduled service at Dean McCrary Kia.
2023 — Refresh, Turbo Dropped
1.6T and X-Line Removed Engine Change
The mid-cycle facelift dropped the 1.6L turbo-GDI and the X-Line trim, leaving the 2.0L MPI and CVT across every trim for the rest of the run.
2020 — New Generation
3rd-Gen Soul Launches With Two Engine Choices New Gen
The 3rd-generation Soul launched with a 147-hp 2.0L MPI and, on GT-Line/Turbo trims through MY2022, a 201-hp 1.6L turbo-GDI. Routine oil and rotation lands every 7,500 miles or 12 months; cabin air filter first at 15,000 miles then every 30,000; engine air filter every 30,000 miles or 24 months; spark plugs come due at 96,000 miles on the 2.0L or 42,000 miles on the 1.6T; brake fluid replaces every 48,000 miles or 48 months (2020 models used a 24-month figure); first coolant change at 120,000 miles.

Soul Maintenance FAQs

Where's the Soul Schedule for My Year?

Select 2020–2025 (FWD hatchback) for oil and rotation, filters, spark plugs, and coolant service.

Kia Stopped Selling the Soul — Can You Still Service Mine?

Yes. Our factory-trained technicians service every Soul model year with genuine Kia parts even though US production ended in 2025.

Is My Older Soul Still Under Warranty?

The 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty runs from the original in-service date and is first-owner only, so coverage depends on your car's age, mileage, and ownership — ask us to check your VIN. See Warranty Forever for details.
