The 2019 Kia Soul can be flat-towed with all four wheels down only in emergencies—and only if it has a manual transmission. The owner’s manual for the model with automatic transmission specifically states that it is not designed for flat towing; while the owner’s manual for the model with manual transmission states it can be done briefly in emergencies.
The best way to find out how to safely tow your vehicle is to refer to your owner’s manual. It will contain recommendations for safe towing, as well as directions for installing the required equipment. It may also contain additional guidelines, such as speed restrictions and more.
Of course, If you’re particularly concerned about your Kia
’s warranty, it’s best to carefully read your contract and/or check with your dealership before towing your vehicle. So what are the alternative ways to tow your vehicle? Dollies and trailers are two options—but the best option for you depends on your specific model, transmission, budget, and what you’re using to tow.
