Kia Soul Competitors

The Soul reportedly holds its value better than other similar vehicles and historic competitors, some of which are now defunct.

Competitors may include:

  • Fiat 500L
  • Mini Countryman
  • Nissan Juke
  • Scion xB (discontinued)
  • Nissan Cube (discontinued)

The Soul’s combination of practical features, combined with hip, modern styling that won’t make the kids wrinkle their noses in disdain, led it to be named Best Compact Car of 2017 by U.S. News & World Report.

Where neck-snapping acceleration and gripping agility on hairpin twists may be missing, there’s real world value to be found in the 2017 Kia Soul. Most of us don’t drive our cars like race cars. If the daily driving routine is largely commuting and runs to the supermarket or the mall, the Soul does these things well in fuel-sipping style – providing a fun ride that won’t break the bank.
