Should I get this Kia Soul?

I just lost my first car to motor issues, a 2013 Volvo S60. I really enjoyed the fast acceleration while being able to stay under 3000RPM. I’ve briefly test driven, and started working out a really good deal on this 2021 Kia soul. I think it’s a gorgeous car, fun to drive, but I’m a little bit disappointed by how slowly it accelerates. Turning out of the dealership I had to get right onto the highway at 55mph, it was definitely lacking in acceleration power. Is sport mode better? I didn’t get a chance to try it in sport mode. What is you guy’s experience with your souls?
