From my experience, the CVT transmission in the Kia Soul can occasionally exhibit strange behavior. One common issue is the delay in power when accelerating. To address this, I recommend taking your Kia Soul to a trusted mechanic for a diagnostic test. They can provide insight into any potential issues and suggest the best course of action.

I've had a similar issue with my Kia Soul's CVT transmission. After consulting with a mechanic, I learned that regular maintenance and fluid checks are crucial in preventing any problems. Make sure to follow the recommended maintenance schedule and keep an eye on the transmission fluid levels.

As an owner of a 2016 Kia Soul, I've experienced the delayed power issue myself. While it can be frustrating, I've found that being mindful of my driving habits can help alleviate the problem. Instead of sudden and aggressive acceleration, try gradually increasing speed to avoid any strain on the CVT transmission.
