More Style & Refinement
In addition to the 2012 Soul’s performance upgrades, the mid-cycle refresh also introduces a number of significant design and performance improvements. On the outside, Soul is freshened with subtle changes that its legion of fans will instantly recognize from new projector headlamps with LED daytime running lights that are slightly bulged, to a redesigned hood and new front and rear bumpers. New and modern LED rear light clusters enhance the Soul’s unique design while the overall shape of the vehicle was finessed to give Soul a smoother and more streamlined silhouette. New for 2012, Soul buyers can choose from two new, exotic exterior paint colors – Canyon and Moss – that complement a wide palette of existing colors. Inside and new for 2012, an Infinity premium audio system is available on Soul+ models and standard on Soul! and Soul sport models for a more robust listening experience. Also new for 2012 on Soul! and Soul sport models is UVO powered by Microsoft® in-car hands-free communication and infotainment system and available premium package that includes heated front seats, leather seat trim, automatic climate control, navigation system (in lieu of UVO system) and push-button start for added upscale comforts.
