Luxurious and convenient features offered include heated front and rear seats, ventilated front seats, LED ambient lighting, tailored headrests, push-button start, automatic temperature control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and a panoramic sunroof to afford your passengers some light and fresh air.

Lots of Modern Technology
The Kia Soul boasts loads of standard and available technology.

You could also spoil yourself with a premium Harman Kardon sound system.
With the UVO Link system, you can remotely control certain aspects of your car like starting or unlocking it, do vehicle diagnostics, keep track of where you’re parked, and also be notified when maintenance is due. You can also use this system to add new points of interest, which will then be synced with your navigation system, to provide you with detailed directions.

Kia’s available Drive Wise driver-assistance technology will go a long way in keeping you safe on the road. This suite consists of autonomous emergency braking, a forward collision system, lane-departure warning, and smart cruise control. You can also opt for a blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert. Standard safety systems included with the Kia Soul are electronic stability control, hill-start assist, a tire-pressure monitoring system, and electronic brake-force distribution.
