2021 Kia Soul

Style, efficiency, and practicality are all qualities the 2021 Kia Soul has compellingly committed to supplying to drivers in the USA, from first-time college-goers to seasoned retirees and everyone in-between. Simply put, the Soul is an undeniably quirky little vehicle that doesn't try to be anything more than what it is, a pragmatic, everyday runabout. The primary engine accords the Soul with just enough pep for comfortable city commuting while remaining admirably economical on fuel. The Soul boasts a surprisingly spacious interior with a straight-forward and contemporary feel and plenty of modern features. Its trunk offers plenty of cargo room, too. The entry-spec model may be a little too barebones for some, but it's exceptionally affordable, and while the top-spec Turbo may be a little too pricey for what it offers, all of the trims slotting in-between offer plenty of value for the money. The entry price of the 2021 Kia Soul crossover comes in at just $17,490, an amount well worth paying.

The LX bears a lot of appeal with its super low pricing point and, for some, its optional six-speed manual gearbox. It comes with very few standard features, however, which is why we'd suggest going for the S model. Along with some stylish exterior body-color trimmings and 16-inch alloy wheels, the S also comes outfitted with cruise control and Kia's DriveWise safety suite, which includes forward-collision avoidance, lane keep assist, driver attention warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic collision assist, and lane change assist. You won't need to review the 2021 Kia Soul's options list unless you want the auto-dimming rearview mirror.
