Door Handles for Kia Soul

Car and Truck Exterior Door Handles for Kia Soul

As an essential part of your Kia Soul vehicle, door handles also contribute to the style of your car. If a door handle breaks, getting in and out of your vehicle can be difficult, making replacement important. Changing the handle's colors can also give your Soul a fun, new look.

The Kia Soul comes with four car doors and a lift gate. The lift gate release comes in one piece. This piece slots into the gate door and bears the Kia logo in the center. The four other doors' parts are identical with the exception of the front driver's side cover, which has a keyhole. Here are the basic parts of the exterior handle, each of which can be replaced separately or as a unit:

• Door handle: This is the main exterior part, which attaches on two sides and which you lift to open. Black attachment parts connect to the car door and to an interior mechanism that opens the door. Generally, these parts are all one piece. If one part of the exterior door handle breaks, you will likely need to replace the whole thing.
• Handle cover: This refers to the small wedge in front of the exterior handle. On the driver's door, this is where you will find the keyhole. You can get this part separately or as part of a kit.
• Lock mechanism: If you need replacement parts for the driver's door lock, you can get this part separately.

• Year and model: Because these parts are crucial for the door profile, sizes will vary depending on your vehicle's release year. Always make sure to narrow your search by year and body type.
• Door: Even if only one exterior door handle breaks, you may want to consider a pack of four so that all four match. Otherwise, the only difference is the keyhole in the cover on the driver's side. Aside from this part, all four pieces are interchangeable. Just flip the part over to match whichever side of the car needs a replacement.
• Color: The Kia Soul comes in several different color options, generally with matching door handles. Color options vary by your car's body type. Base colors include black, silver, grey, red, and white. In addition, body types such as the Kia Soul Plus come with a broad range of additional colors. You can find parts to match most base colors. Some Kia Soul owners prefer chrome handles, and you can find chrome covers as an added accessory. Silver handles can give your car a sleek, classy look that stands out from the main vehicle color.
