TrueDelta Reviews the Available Features of the 2018 Kia Soul

2018 Kia Soul Available Features: Cons
YearComment
You can get a few nifty features on the Kia Soul, including heated front and rear seats and a heated steering wheel. Available safety tech includes forward collision warning, blind spot warning, and lane departure warning. (I generally find the last useless at best, and more often than not annoying.) As noted in the price analysis, you can get far more features on the Mini than you can on the Kia. You'll have to pay dearly for them, but at least Mini continues to offer options ? la carte, so you only have to pay for those you really want. With the Soul Exclaim, every factory-installed option except the sunroof is only offered as part of a single $3,000 option package. And if you want the sunroof you must also buy this package. The oddest omission from the Kia's options list: unlike with virtually every other small crossover, you cannot get a Soul with all-wheel-drive. This could prove a deal-killer for people who live in northern climes. Kia does offer the Sportage compact crossover with AWD. In terms of exterior dimensions and price, the Sportage is a size class up. But in terms of interior dimensions the two Kias are pretty close--the Soul is very roomy for a vehicle with a 101-inch wheelbase. Also, about the indecisive dual-clutch transmission: it's the only transmission offered with the turbo engine. I'd personally much prefer a manual transmission in the Soul Exclaim. But, unlike with the Mini, one isn't offered. see full Kia Soul review
