2018 Kia Soul Trim Option Differences
Upon its release, the Kia Soul was thought to be a bit of an oddball with its design. Most thought of the Soul as either an experiment that was soon to fail or a vehicle that would have a small and loyal cult following only because of its unique look. However, now the Soul is the best-selling Kia model in America! But what makes the Soul such a popular option? How did this creative car beat the previous most-popular Kia: the reliable and traditional Kia Optima midsize sedan?
What is the Kia Soul?
For starters, what is the Kia Soul? It’s not a sedan. It’s not a truck. It’s not even an SUV. The Kia Soul gets the distinction of being uniquely labeled as a Multi-Purpose Vehicle, or MPV. MPVs are similar to Crossover vehicles, but with a few differences. Basically, while a Crossover combines the aspects of a sedan and an SUV, an MPV combines the features of a sedan/hatchback and a minivan. The seating and storage space and convenience and entertainment features of a minivan are fit into a smaller, comfortable, mobile, and maneuverable frame to create an MPV. And so we have the amazing Kia Soul!
2018 Kia Soul Trim Levels
Right now, the most current model is the 2018 Kia Soul. If you’re looking to buy a new 2018 Kia Soul, it’s first best to consider the 2018 Soul’s 3 trim options. Luckily, because of Kia’s ever affordable pricing, even the highest trim level is a much less expensive option than many other comparable car models.
Kia Soul Base Trim
The 2018 Kia Soul’s trim levels are expertly titled, making them easy to understand. The first baseline trim level of the 2018 Soul is labeled as the Base trim. Starting at $16,100, the Base trim of the 2018 Kia Soul is an incredible deal. Fitted with a slight 1.6 L inline-4 engine, this helps to keep the Soul light and quick on the road. Inside you’ll find plenty of standard features for passengers including power windows, a SirusXM® audio system, Bluetooth® wireless technology, and more!
Kia Soul + Trim
An upgrade over the Base trim is the + trim starting at $20,300. The 2018 Kia Soul + offers a great number of upgrades over the Base. New convenience features include a rear-camera display and UVO touchscreen and infotainment system. Kia UVO allows for voice recognition and both Apple and Android connectivity and compatibility. Further upgrades include a new standard seating upholstery, optional leather upholstery, Drive Mode Select (DMS), and a brand new 2 L inline-4 engine with boosted horsepower and torque.
Kia Soul ! Trim
The final Kia Soul ! Trim starts at $22.800 and provides significant improvements in power, features, and appearance! A 1.6 L turbocharged engine is lighter than the Kia Soul +’s 2 L engine, but offers much-improved horsepower, torque, and a better fuel economy! The interior provides further convenience features such as optional heated seats, remote entry and push-button start, an upgraded UVO system, and luxurious upholstery and trimming updates. On the exterior of your 2018 Kia Soul !, you’ll find heated mirrors, rear window wipers, fog lights, solar and privacy glass, and plenty of aesthetic changes of red and chrome to increase the style of your Soul!
