Is the Kia Soul's boxy shape actually practical?
The flat roofline is the source of the Soul's practicality advantage, not a styling penalty. Rear headroom measures 1,000 mm — more than a Seltos — cargo volume reaches 1,455 L with rear seats folded, and the wide door openings make it easier for older passengers and parents with children in car seats to enter and exit than most conventionally styled crossovers. The tall seating position and panoramic sightlines are genuine assets in dense urban traffic. At just 1,800 mm wide, the Soul is easy to maneuver and park in the tight underground lots found across Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa. For a city dweller or suburban commuter, the Soul delivers more usable interior volume than most subcompact SUVs at its price point.
