TrueDelta Reviews the Available Features of the 2013 Kia Soul

2013 Kia Soul Available Features: Pros
YearComment
2014 Upward mobility extends beyond the interior styling and materials to a slew of newly available features. The tested car, with all boxes checked, included a panoramic sunroof, xenon headlights, proximity key, a heated steering wheel, leather upholstery, a ten-way power driver seat, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, and power-folding mirrors. (Kia has taken to offering the last, historically restricted to luxury cars, in just about everything it sells.) Most of these features simply aren't available in the Fiat. see full Kia Soul review
