The Boxy and the Beautiful: Here are some of the top attributes of the 2021 Kia Soul

In a segment filled with lookalikes, one that seems to only offer slight variations of the same theme, the 2021 Kia Soul is not afraid to stand out. Square, but in a good way, this spirited hatchback epitomizes the expression, "puts the 'fun' in functional." It's not the first box-shaped hatchback to hit the market, but it is the most resilient. While other similarly shaped competitors left the industry long ago, the Kia Soul continues to excel and is one of Kia's most successful models.

Besides its unique aesthetics, here are four reasons why people love the 2021 Kia Soul:

• Versatility: The Kia Soul's quirky quadrate contours are more than style, though; they also give it excellent utility and more cargo space than most hatchbacks on the market. Behind the rear seats, you'll have 24 cubic feet for weekend errands. And when you need more, the 60/40-split second-row folds to reveal up to 62 cubes.


• Tech: The 2021 Soul comes standard with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system and advanced smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. EX and Turbo trims feature an upgraded 10.25-inch display with split-screen capability, premium navigation, wireless charging, and UVO link connected car services.


• Soul Turbo: The top-tier Turbo trim helps Soul realize its performance potential, equipping a 1.6L turbo-four (201 hp, 195 lb-ft), a 7-speed DCT, and a sport-tuned suspension.


• Drive Wise: By stepping up just one level from the base trim, you can enjoy the added peace of mind of Kia Drive Wise advanced driver-assistance technologies. Soul S models and higher come standard with: Forward-Collision Avoidance; Lane Keeping; Rear Cross-Traffic Alert; Blind Spot Warning; Lane-Change Assist, and Driver Attention Warning.
