Overall

The 2022 Kia Soul is an excellent choice for small families. In addition to the vehicle’s safety and comfort features, the vehicle has two sets of LATCH connectors for car seats. The best part of the Soul, however, is the cargo space. Behind the rear seats, you’ll get 24.2 cubic feet of space. With the rear seats folded, you’ll get an impressive 62.1 cubic feet. Check out this vehicle at your local kia dealer to see if it’s the right choice for you.
