2.0-liter GDI engine
The Soul's engine options, too, appear similar to the previous generation, but closer inspection reveals some interesting changes. Somewhere behind that new grill, the most powerful engine available still displaces 2.0 liters, now features direct-injection, and outputs 164 horsepower (unchanged from the previous model) and 151 pound-feet of torque (up 3 pound-feet over last year). Presumably, fuel economy is still in the neighborhood of the previous model's combined 25 mpg, but we're hoping for an improvement when the final numbers are published.
