TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Kia Soul

| Year | Comment | |
| The seats are similarly sufficient for casual around-town driving but subpar for even moderate distances. Less than half way through our four-hour drive the hard, flat cushions grew uncomfortable. see full Kia Soul review | ||

| 2014 | 0 | The front seat is every bit as uncomfortable as the previous model. No improvement here. A tall person will be more comfortable sitting in the rear seat. see full Kia Soul review |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 181hp 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The room was not bad, but the seat bottoms are too low and the road noise in the back seats was unbearable. see full Mini Countryman review |
