What are the Trim Levels on the 2018 Kia Soul MPV Hatchback?

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!

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!
