Evans, Georgia, area car shoppers searching for an exceptionally versatile yet fuel-efficient small vehicle should see the subcompact crossover segment, including the stellar 2023 Kia Soul. Kia's new 2023 Soul blends the style and flexibility of a hatchback and crossover, providing a unique ride that stands out from the rest.
At Stokes Hodges Kia, we dare you to compare the 2023 Kia Soul to its small crossover rivals. We're confident it comes out on top!
The new Kia Soul for sale is a spacious and well-equipped CUV, sporting bold style and effortless driving dynamics that you won't find elsewhere in this segment. Kia's tech-packed 2023 Soul impresses on many fronts, from its roomy cabin and generous cargo capacity to its fuel-efficient performance and high-tech gadgetry.
But how does it compare to the competition? We're glad you asked!
Its first challenger in this small crossover competition is the 2022 Nissan Kicks, a CUV that's big on personality like the Kia Soul. However, Nissan's 2022 Kicks crossover can't compete with the 2023 Soul regarding power and performance. Plus, the more powerful Kia Soul can hold its own with the Nissan Kicks in the fuel economy department.

When you're seeking a more powerful alternative to Nissan's underpowered Kicks, consider Kia's 2023 Soul. Its standard 147-hp engine includes a superb 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty, going far beyond Nissan's powertrain warranty.
The 2023 Honda HR-V is an all-new crossover for this model year, but can it keep up with its Kia crossover rival? Honda's new HR-V is a worthy competitor, but it can't match the Kia Soul's fuel efficiency, second-row headroom or warranty package.

The 2023 Kia Soul versus 2023 Honda HR-V battle is certainly a fair fight. Both are on par in several areas, yet the Kia Soul edges out the HR-V in specifications and ratings that matter most to motorists.
There's also a significant difference in pricing, with the 2023 Soul available for thousands of dollars less than the HR-V's starting MSRP. Why would you pay thousands more for less? Get into the Kia Soul for a feature-rich and value-packed new ride!

Maybe you're heard about the 2022 Toyota C-HR and wonder how it compares to Kia's popular small CUV, the 2023 Soul. It turns out that the Toyota C-HR is just too cramped inside to keep up with the Kia Soul in cabin space and cargo capacity. The Soul extends its lead over the C-HR when the rear seats are folded, as it offers significantly more maximum cargo volume.
Plus, the 2022 Toyota C-HR is a pricier option where you get less passenger space and cargo room, fewer cabin amenities, shorter driving range, less horsepower and reduced fuel economy. Why settle when you can get into a 2023 Kia Soul for less?

Finally, we're pitting the 2022 Hyundai Kona against the 2023 Soul. Like the other competitors here, the new Hyundai Kona has a higher starting MSRP than the Kia but doesn't offer advantages to justify its steeper pricing. However, the Kona is comparable in some aspects: it matches the Soul with 147 hp and a generous bumper-to-bumper and powertrain warranty. Still, the diminutive Kona can't keep up with the Kia Soul in passenger volume, cargo space or total driving range.
