Once again, Soul is named Active Lifestyle Vehicle of the Year

For the fourth consecutive year, the 2016 Soul—Kia’s fun, funky, and functional urban passenger vehicle—has been named a winner at the 12th annual Active Lifestyle Vehicle (ALV) of the Year awards. A panel of local media and athletes rated the Soul best in the “Urban” category during the evaluation recently in Chandler, AZ.

“It is unprecedented for a vehicle to win the ALV award for four years in a row,” said Nina Russin, founder of the Active Lifestyle Vehicle program. “The fact that the Soul has consistently won top honors in the Urban category is testimony to its widespread appeal among young buyers who need a stylish-yet-versatile vehicle that is small enough to navigate crowded urban areas, and spacious enough to hold multiple passengers and a variety of gear.”

With a starting MSRP of just $15,690 (excluding destination charges of $825), the Soul is an exceptional value that combines eye-catching style, practicality, and youthful character in a small package. Not surprisingly, the Soul is one of KMA’s top-selling models, and this year’s ALV entry came in the form of a “Red Zone” Special Edition Soul, featuring an exterior body kit and spoiler and interior flourishes such as brush metal pedals and red trim/stitching.

“We’re thrilled that the Soul has been recognized at ALV for the fourth consecutive year,” said Orth Hedrick, vice president of product planning, KMA. “Combining an iconic design, refined interior, numerous tech features, and impressive cargo volume, our urban runabout is a true standout for those seeking a vehicle that supports an active and athletic lifestyle.”
