The 2016 Kia Soul can tow up to 1,000 pounds with a tongue weight of 150 pounds using a 1 and 1/2 inch receiver installed on the vehicle. Depending on the trim option you choose, the Soul has a total payload capacity ranging from 1,052 to 1,263 pounds. Equipped with either a 1.6L 4-cylinder with 118 horsepower or a 2.0L 4-cylinder with 151 pound-feet of torque, the 2016 Kia Soul is not ideal for heavy towing purposes. Due to its size, it is best suited for towing smaller items like a motorcycle. If you require a vehicle for heavier towing, I suggest considering a larger vehicle.
In 2016, the Kia Soul was not built to tow anything. The engine in the 2016 Soul can only generate 151 pound-feet of torque.
