2015 Soul a KBB.com '10 coolest under $18K'

The 2015 Soul - Kia's popular urban hatchback - is one of the "10 Coolest Cars Under $18,000" in 2015, according to Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com. 

This is the fourth consecutive time Soul has been recognized by the editors at KBB.com and, similar to last year, Kia’s fun-and-funky urban runabout ranked among the top three on the annual list, which highlights the hippest and most affordable cars on the market. Editors at Kelley Blue Book once again included the Soul for its stylish looks and tech-savvy content. With a base price of $15,190, the Soul offers flexible interior configurations and a unique exterior design with a wide array of available features at a great value. 

"Some cool vehicles aren't very versatile, but the Kia Soul made our list of the 10 Coolest Cars Under $18,000 just because it is so versatile," said Jack Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com. "On the road the Soul's funky, squared-off shape won't be mistaken for anything else, and standing out is cool. At the same time, its collection of useful features and its interior versatility at a very affordable price add significantly to its overall cool quotient." 

Tim Chaney, vice president of marketing communications for Kia Motors America, noted, "Since first coming onto the scene in 2009, the Soul has been an out-of-the-park homerun for Kia, and the second generation retains its iconic design while including modern cues and premium features to enhance our brand's value proposition. It’s these refinements - along with its funky persona, roomy cabin and ample cargo space - that have upped the Soul's allure, making it even more popular with consumers."
