Should I tune my Kia Soul?

I’m looking to punch up my Kia Soul’s horsepower and am thinking about getting a tune. But I don’t see much about tuning on Soul discussion boards. Should I tune my Kia Soul?

It depends on how much you like your
Kia Soul
. Depending on where you live, you can expect to pay between $400-$800 for a professional Stage 1 tune.
During this process, the tuner/mechanic will analyze your Kia’s stock computer and make modifications designed to increase your engine’s performance and horsepower. If you’re looking for big gains, you likely won’t realize them yet.
If you’re a big fan of the Soul’s distinctive body style, doing a tune and tweaking your exhaust system might be worth the investment, even if all you get is a minor increase in engine power. On the other hand, if you’re not totally in love with the Soul’s exterior, you might want to take a look at trading in your Soul for a comparable compact SUV such as a
Jeep Renegade
, which has a more powerful base engine.
Be warned: tuning your car will likely void its warranty, so be sure you really want to proceed before tuning.
Tuning up your car, truck, or SUV is a decision that can wind up taking more time (and money) than you first anticipated. First, you need to decide what your goals are. Then, after setting your goals, you need to look at what you can achieve given your budget.
