2018 Kia Soul Review

Overview
Unique styling exciting performance and precise handling. That’s the Kia Soul. It redefines “fun to drive.” In fact the Soul redefines categories. Is it a hatchback? Is it a compact SUV? Yes and Yes. And that’s not all. Choose from three models: Base Plus and Exclaim. Does the Soul’s form follow function or is it the other way around? Besides turning heads outside the Soul’s unique shape has plenty of room for heads inside. And legs and shoulders and hips. And with the 60/40-split rear seat cargo of all shapes and sizes. So load up four of your friends—they’ll love the available Harman Kardon audio system. With its pulsating multicolored front-door speaker lights you’ll swear you can actually see the sound. But what’ll you play on it? Available UVO eServices infotainment system brings Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a seven-inch touchscreen so you can access your favorite playlists. Need directions? Voice-command navigation is available too—with an 8-inch touchscreen. An impressive array of exterior colors interior trims and option packages give your Soul even more personality. The Kia Soul. Uniquely entertaining.
Technology

Navigation is available and comes with an eight-inch touchscreen. Download the free UVO eServices app and you can use your compatible smartphone to access your Soul’s features. Can’t remember where you parked? Use the UVO Parking Minder. Wondering if you need to make a service appointment? Use UVO Vehicle Diagnostics. The Kia Soul. Connectivity comes standard.
