The 2021 Kia Soul LX is a head-turner due to its unique, possibly even iconic, appearance. It's surprising how much more than just personality this SUV has to offer, considering its incredibly low price. The styling of the Soul LX isn't even only for the looks, its design results in plenty of room for your comfort and the comfort of your passengers.
This subcompact SUV has plenty of space, iconic styling, hatchback-like driving dynamics, and much more! Only describing the 2021 Kia Soul LX would be a disservice to you and to the car, so instead, we invite you to Straightline Kia here in Calgary to feel the funky personality and experience the driving dynamics of the Soul LX for yourself.
Powering the 2021 Kia Soul LX is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that delivers 147 horsepower. The four-banger can be paired with a six-speed manual or a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). That sort of power for an SUV sounds underwhelming; however, the Soul XL has no issues quickly accelerating or overtaking. The subcompact SUV continues to defy logic as its boxy, non-aerodynamic design doesn't stop it from putting up excellent fuel economy numbers; 9.4 l/100km in the city and 6.7 l/100km highway driving, EPA rated.
The interior of the Kia Soul LX doesn't follow the norm; instead, it follows its exterior's youthful, unique, and playful design. The design is everything but boring, and on top of that, there is a variety of options for customization and further personalization. There's a lot of room for cargo inside the Soul LX, but what might be the most impressive is the quality of the materials used; competitors with comparable prices use much, much worse materials.
The infotainment system is a touchscreen 7.0-inch display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. As for safety and driver-assistance features, there's lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and a few other features that you would expect a modern SUV to have.
The 2021 Kia Soul LX is an unbelievably underpriced vehicle; to find anything better, you would have to pay close to double the price of this subcompact SUV. There's a reason why the Kia Soul is so popular, and if you'd like to test the Soul LX out for yourself, we'd love to welcome you to Straightline Kia here in Calgary!
