Kia Soul 2010-13 models 2013 Kia Soul SMALL OVERLAP FRONT TEST OVERALL EVALUATION: Structure/safety cage Injury measures Restraints/dummy kinematics Head/neck Chest Hip/thigh Lower leg/foot Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight. Good Acceptable Marginal Poor Test details: The Kia Soul was introduced in the 2010 model year. Information from Hyundai/Kia indicated the front structural modifications added beginning with 2012 models would have no effect on small overlap frontal test performance; therefore the ratings below apply to all 2010-13 Soul models. Structure — The driver's space was seriously compromised by intruding structure. Lower interior intrusion measured as much as 29 cm at the lower hinge pillar. Upper interior intrusion measured 22-23 cm at the hinge pillar and instrument panel. The steering column was pushed back 15 cm toward the driver. Restraints/dummy kinematics — The dummy's head barely contacted the frontal airbag before sliding off the left side as the steering column moved 14 cm to the right. The side curtain airbag did not deploy, leaving the dummy's head vulnerable to contacts with side structure and outside objects, and the driver's seat tipped forward and toward the B-pillar. Injury measures — Measures from the dummy indicate that injuries to the left lower leg would be possible in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low.
