While Kia markets the Soul as an SUV, the vehicle's lack of all-wheel drive and limited ground clearance make it seem like more of a large hatchback.  - Car And Driver

The 2021 Kia Soul does not go under any design changes since its previous model and offers. The car gets LED headlights with a big grille and gives an overall bold look. The vehicle has a decent length of about 165.2 inches and is the lightest amongst all its rivals with a curb weight of 2802 lbs.

It is offered in 10 different colors, the few color options are Snow White Pearl, Sparkling Silver, Cherry Black, Gravity Gray, Inferno Red, Mars Orange, Neptune Blue, Undercover Green, and 2 two-tone options-Mars Orange/Cherry Black and Neptune Blue/Cherry Black. There is a range of wheel options too - from 16-inch to 18-inch with each trim getting a unique design.

The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek is the longest, highest, widest and heaviest car in the comparison, it does get its share of advantages in terms of ground clearance and wheelbase, but it has to bear with the curb weight it owns. The heavyweight of the vehicle will reflect in the handling and braking aspect and hence tamper its overall performance and driving experience.

2021 Kia Soul Wagon Vs 2021 Hyundai Kona

The 2021 Hyundai Kona gives a neck-to-neck competition as it is also a Korean-based car like Kia Soul. It comes with the same 2.0L inline-4 engine and produces 147hp and 132lb-ft of torque whereas the Kia Soul is a better car in terms of performance, faster in the 0-60 mph. It also has better cargo capacity and cabin space. So overall Kia Soul is the most recommended one as it is a complete package and is also the least expensive among its competitors.

2021 Kia Soul Wagon Vs 2021 Subaru Crosstrek

The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek gives a head-to-head competition to Kia Soul with its powerful performance, cargo space, ample amount of legroom/headroom, and towing capacity but the Kia Soul takes the charge with its safety features, fuel efficiency, and pocket-friendly price where Subaru Crosstrek lacks. That makes it a value for money offer for buyers but for those who are looking for a powerful engine and an ample amount of space inside the car, the Crosstrek is the best choice for the buyers. 

2021 Kia Soul Wagon Vs 2021 Honda HR-V

The 2021 Honda HR-V is a decent choice due to its excellent build quality and frugal maintenance costs. Add to the fact that the powertrain is better, the vehicle is more reliable, and that it has more cargo space. However, one misses out heavily on the style and quirks of the Kia when one compares the two. Since the cars are nearly evenly matched in terms of everything else, our pick would be the Kia Soul.
