Two car seats in a 2024 Kia Soul
The Soul is boxy and feels roomy, but its rear bench is on the narrow side (~48") and rear legroom is short. Two seats almost always fit in the two outboard positions; the squeeze is when both are wide and you still want the middle usable, or you’re eyeing three-across.
The Soul's usable rear bench is about 48". Two seats install in the outboard positions, though a deep rear-facing seat may crowd the front passenger here.
The computed shortlist for a 2020–2024 Kia Soul
How we worked this out
- The bench. A 2020–2024 Kia Soul's usable second-row width is about 48" (Kia dimensions + owner measurements (approx); boxy but short rear legroom) — approximate, from manufacturer dimensions and owner measurements.
- The seats. We take each seat's external width at its widest point (manufacturer spec) and place two in the outboard positions.
- The ranking. Ranked by NHTSA Ease-of-Use (5★ scale), then fewer recalls, then narrower — never by commission.
- The honesty rule. Where a seat's width isn't published, we flag the fit as not confirmed rather than guess. Three-across is decided by half-inches, so test-fit your exact seats in your exact car.
Common questions
Will two car seats fit across the back of a 2024 Kia Soul?
Two car seats fit the two outboard positions of a 2020–2024 Kia Soul in nearly every case. Because rear legroom is short here, a deep rear-facing seat may require sliding the front seat forward. The shortlist below ranks the seats by NHTSA Ease-of-Use. Test-fit before buying — half an inch decides a tight back seat.
What is the best car seat for a 2020–2024 Kia Soul?
Among the seats we track, the Cybex Sirona S ranks first for a 2020–2024 Kia Soul (NHTSA Ease-of-Use 5/5). The right pick still depends on your child's age, height, and weight — use the picker to narrow it.
