Why does the Kia Soul have high fuel consumption?
2 Answers
Kia Soul has high fuel consumption due to a damaged thermostat. Below is relevant information about the Kia Soul: 1. Introduction: The Kia Soul is a family-oriented economy car, and its interior space is certainly one of the key concerns for every consumer. The length × width × height of the Kia Soul are 4096mm × 1785mm × 1663(1676)mm respectively. 2. Model Features: The Kia Soul's boxy design is quite distinctive; the flat-roofed interior space design is spacious and comfortable; it has good acceleration and overtaking power, quick speed increase, and low engine noise; it is equipped with abundant tech-savvy features, sporty interior color schemes, and numerous optional accessories; it has rich safety configurations and high safety performance.
I've been driving a Kia Soul for several years and think the high fuel consumption might be related to my driving habits. Although it's a small car, the engine isn't new, and it's particularly fuel-inefficient in city traffic jams. I often accelerate and brake abruptly, and having tire pressure that's too low or too high isn't good either. The car is heavy with high wind resistance, and fuel burns quickly when I turn on the air conditioning or carry heavy loads. The repair shop said regular oil changes and air filter checks can save some fuel, but overall, it consumes more than smaller cars. In cold weather, the engine takes a long time to warm up, which also wastes fuel. With rising fuel prices now, it's painful every time I fill up, so I have to plan routes to avoid peak hours to improve the situation a bit.
