Tire pressure Kia Soul
Kia Soul is a modest crossover launched in 2008. This car is close to a Nissan Note or a Suzuki SX4, perhaps even in the same class as a Mitsubishi ASX. It is much smaller than the native Kia Sportage. At one time in Europe, it was recognized as the best vehicle for towing a trailer (compared to competitors of the same size and weight). This model of the Korean company is classified as a youth car, automotive critics recognize its good safety and comfort performance.
The first generation was produced in 2008-2013. Restyling in 2011 touched the exterior and technical qualities of the car.

The second generation was produced in 2013-2019. Restyling took place in 2015. Since that time, diesel versions of the Soul have not been officially delivered to the Russian Federation. In 2016, an electric version of the Kia Soul EV was introduced.
The third generation is sold from 2019 to the present.
The manufacturer on all existing Kia Soul models recommends the same tire inflation values regardless of the engine model. This is 2,3 atm (33 psi) for the front and rear wheels of a vehicle with a normal load. With increased load (4-5 people and / or cargo in the trunk) - 2,5 atm (37 psi) for the front wheels and 2,9 atm (43 psi) for the rear wheels.
See the data in the table, engine models for all generations of KIA Soul are indicated. The pressure is valid for all listed tire sizes.

What tire pressure should a Kia Soul have? It depends on what tires are installed on the car, what size they are. In the tables presented, the Korean car manufacturer Kia recommends inflating the wheels depending on the size of the tires and the expected load of the car: it is one thing if there is one driver in it and the trunk is empty, and quite another if there are three to four more people in the Kia Soul and / or in the trunk in addition to the driver 100-150 kg of cargo.

Checking the pressure in the Kia tires, as well as pumping the Kia Soul wheels themselves, should be carried out "cold" when the ambient temperature matches the temperature of the tires. And this is possible only when the car has been standing still for a long time. In the tables above, tire pressures (atmospheres (bar) and psi) are given for cold tires only. This applies to both summer and winter tires for Kia Soul. On long journeys over long distances, and even at high speed, to minimize the likelihood of wheel failure and rim damage, it is recommended to inflate tires using the values in the “increased load” column.
