Most likely, you thought the Kia Soul would be a fad in much the same way as the Nissan Juke and the Scion xD models were. Thankfully, this sassy and fun car continues to be one that we love to drive and it gives us the features and qualities that we look for when we want to have a roomy hatchback that can handle the party.<\/strong><\/em><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>The Kia Soul is More than Fun<\/h2>\n<p>While its easy to see how much fun the Kia Soul can be with the variety of exterior paint colors and the healthy dose of features that you can enjoy when you\u2019re ready to drive, there\u2019s a lot more to this car. The Soul straddles the line between subcompact crossover SUV and large hatchbacks to be a car that you can fill with your gear. The Soul is <a href=\"https:\/\/v103.radio.com\/galleries\/autonsider-review-2020-kia-soul-gt-line-turbo\"><strong>versatile<\/strong> <\/a>and it\u2019s offered in a few varieties including an all-electric EV model that can give you the driving range you want to enjoy.<\/p>\n<h2>The Shape of the Soul Makes a Difference<\/h2>\n<p>Even though you might look at the Kia Soul as a car that\u2019s shaped like a toaster, you\u2019ll be glad to have this shape when you look inside. The cabin is deceptively large with ample room for everyone that\u2019s seated inside this car. There\u2019s also room for cargo on the rear to make sure you can take everything you need to your destination. The room behind the rear seats measures 24.2 cubic feet which is huge for a small car and rivals some of the compact crossovers on the market.<\/p>\n<h2>Can You Use this Kia for Your Family<\/h2>\n<p>The Kia Soul is a comfortable five-seat hatchback that offers room for at least four adults to be comfortable. This means your family of five can make use of this car for a long time and feel great about what it has to offer. The legroom and the features offered make the Soul a great choice for you. As your family grows, the Kia Soul continues to fit and meet all your needs. This means you can have the vehicle your family loves and the fun car that can be the one you take out for a fun time on the weekends.<\/p>\n<h2>Take a Drive in the Soul<\/h2>\n<p>When you see the newest generation of the Kia Soul, you\u2019ll notice a car that has a longer wheelbase and stiffer chassis than in the past. These items allow the Kia Soul to move with more sophistication than in the past. The quiet feeling in the cabin is impressive, making this car one that you can easily enjoy when you take it out on the road for a drive. The Soul EV model offers a more sophisticated driving personality to make sure you can have an EV that feels right when you take a drive.<\/p>\n<h2>The Power You\u2019re Ready to Enjoy<\/h2>\n<p>When you consider the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rayskillmannortheast.com\/kia-soul-avon-in\/\"><strong>Kia Soul<\/strong><\/a>, the base 2.0-liter engine brings you 147 horsepower, which should be a disappointment on the road, but the CVT allows this powertrain to give you the power you need and the efficiency that makes sense. If you want a sporty feeling in the Kia Soul, you\u2019ll want to move up to the GT-Line and make use of the optional 1.6-liter turbocharged engine and the sport-tuned suspension that can be right for you to have a great drive on the road.<\/p>\n<h2>Experience the Quality from Kia<\/h2>\n<p>Its time for you to have a quality drive on the road in a car that has a fun and active personality. Let the Kia Soul become the car that has what you\u2019re looking for. The Soul can be the car that\u2019s right for your family, it can be the perfect vehicle for you to experience a lot of fun, and it enters a new generation to be better than ever. Get behind the wheel and see what the Kia Soul has for you when you visit your local Kia dealer today.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aI-03K1XP7s?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you first saw the dancing hamsters on the TV showing you the boxy shape of the Kia Soul, did you think this car would<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":946,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[236,507],"tags":[252,50,416,237,445],"class_list":["post-945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kia","category-suvs","tag-crossover-suv","tag-ev","tag-hatchback","tag-kia","tag-soul"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.4 -
