The revised model has also brought a new look, significant upgrades in interior quality and is available in the UK starting today, October 3rd. There’s two regular trim levels to choose from, called Soul 1 and Soul 2, plus the two ‘Soul Originals’, the Hunter and Quantum.

The engine range comprises of 1.6-liter units, both petrol and diesel, with the former now being equipped with gasoline direct injection. While 138 horsepower out of an atmospheric 1.6 might sound good, the 57.6 mpg the diesel does on the combined UK cycle makes it the clear favorite.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
