Four Impressive Features of the 2024 Kia Soul
1. Safety Technology
The entry-level LX model comes with a forward collision avoidance system that is programmed to detect pedestrians and cyclists. If drivers don’t respond to the forward collision alert, the Soul will automatically apply the brakes to avoid an accident with a pedestrian or other vehicle.
This model also has software to help with corrective steering as part of the lane keeping assist and lane departure warning features. If you start to drift into another lane without using your turn signal, the Soul will gently steer the wheels toward the center of the lane as indicated by visible lane markers to help avoid a collision. The driver attention warning feature also works with this software to ensure you are paying attention to the road.
2. Fuel Economy
The Soul LX has a great fuel economy, which might be important to commuters who want to save on fuel. This model gets an estimated 27 MPG in urban areas, 33 MPG on the interstate, and 30 MPG combined. The highest-tier model, the Soul EX, has a different fuel efficiency than other Soul models. The EX gets 29 MPG in the city and 35 MPG on the interstate.
3. Color Options
Head-turning style is one of the most distinctive features of the Kia Soul. The LX color options are Steel Gray, Snow-White Pearl, Fusion Black, Gravity Gray, Mars Orange, and Inferno Red. Interior color options for the LX are two-tone Gray woven cloth or Black woven cloth.
Other trims have unique paint color options, such as the two-tone Surf Blue/Fusion Black combo that can be found on the S and GT-Line models. The GT-Line trim also has a two-tone Black and White SynTex/cloth fabric option. The EX offers Neptune Blue and Surf Blue as unique exterior color options, as well as Umber SynTex/cloth seating material.
4. Passenger Comfort
The 2024 Soul has a five-passenger seating capacity across all trims. The LX model has a six-way manually adjustable driver’s seat, a four-way manually adjustable front passenger’s seat, and a 60/40 folding rear seat. Passengers will be comfortable in this model thanks to standard solar control glass to block UV heat build-up from the sun and standard air conditioning.
