2018 Kia Soul: Breaking the Mold

There are some vehicles that simply refuse to be tagged with a label and boxed into just one category. The Kia Soul is a prime example. This one-of-a-kind vehicle plays equally well as a compact car, a crossover, and a hatchback, so no matter what type of vehicle you’re in the market for, the Kia Soul is one that deserves a closer look—particularly if you’re looking to get the most bang for your buck.

Kia is quite adept at making high-quality cars that are affordable on just about any budget. The Soul shines in this regard as an incredibly budget-friendly vehicle with value packed into it in the form of ample cargo space and plenty of available technology and driver-assistance features.

The 2018 Kia Soul is available in three distinct trim levels, each of which appeals to a different type of buyer:

• The Soul Base is exceptionally affordable, but still offers such desirable features as Bluetooth®*, a USB port, satellite radio, and a six-speaker sound system.
• The Soul Plus (+) receives a 7-inch touchscreen display, the UVO infotainment system, automatic climate control, and a rearview camera. Packages are also available here that add extra comfort and convenience features.
• The Soul Exclaim (!) is the top-of-the-line trim and comes with leather appointments, Android Auto / Apple CarPlay, and push-button start.

No matter which of the Kia Soul trims appeal most to you, the best way to know for sure is to explore them in person. At Safford Kia of Fredericksburg, we have a huge selection of 2018 Kia Soul models in our inventory, and when you’re ready for a test drive, we’re ready for you!

A Look Inside the 2018 Kia Soul

The 2018 Kia Soul may be on the budget-friendly side, but you wouldn’t know that from its interior. High-quality, soft-touch materials and spacious seating are welcome additions to a cabin that can be further upgraded with leather trim, power-adjustable seats, and a heated steering wheel.

Generous headroom and legroom ensure that even backseat passengers can enjoy the ride in comfort without scrabbling for a spot to rest their elbows.

Drivers will appreciate the user-friendly controls, and everyone inside can enjoy the standard and available audio and connectivity features that make the miles fly by even on long road trips.

The Soul’s hatchback measures at 24.2 cubic feet, but when you need to carry more cargo and don’t have a full carload of passengers, you can fold down the rear seats to open up 61.3 cubic feet of cargo space.

Style for Miles: The 2018 Kia Soul Exterior

You certainly won’t mistake the 2018 Soul for any other car. Its fun and quirky exterior is eye-catching and distinctive, ensuring that it won’t fade into a sea of similar cars—because there aren’t any! Drivers can further enhance their Soul’s exterior with one of the available exterior paint colors:

• Inferno Red
• Clear White
• Bright Silver
• Titanium Gray
• Shadow Black

What Powers the 2018 Kia Soul?

Each of the Soul’s three trims comes with a different engine. The Soul Base receives a 1.6L Inline-4 engine that’s mated to a standard 6-speed manual transmission or an optional electronically controlled 6-speed automatic transmission and Sportmatic. The Soul Plus (+) is powered by a 2.0L inline-4 engine paired with an electronically controlled 6-speed automatic transmission with Sportmatic. The Soul Exclaim (!) is equipped with a 1.6L turbocharged I-4 with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and Sportmatic.
