Serving Louisville, TN
If you are a driver in Tennessee thinking about purchasing your next compact car, two options stand out, the Kia Soul and the Honda Fit. The two vehicles are both modern, affordable, and offer excellent features, which is why they solely stand out in their segment. However, how do you know which one is right for you? Keep reading to discover why you are better off with the Kia Soul rather than the Honda Fit.
Performance
As a driver, the first thing you want to know about your car is how it performs on the pavement. The Kia Soul outperforms the Honda Fit in every aspect. Firstly, the Kia Soul offers more powertrain options than its rival. You can choose between two gasoline engine options, which include a standard inline 4-cylinder and a more powerful turbocharged 4-cylinder. Secondly, the Kia Soul’s powertrain options include an EV option, which is lacking in the Honda Fit. Finally, the Kia Soul’s base engine offers a capable 147 horsepower while all Honda fits are driven by a standard 1.5-liter I-4 engine, which only offers 130 horsepower.
Interior & Storage Capacity
The Kia Soul has a distinct, boxy shape that looks great and improves the storage and passenger space in its cabin. The Kia Soul has no curves on the roof or otherwise, so the passengers have plenty of headroom and legroom in both the front and rear. Behind the rear seats, the Kia Soul provides you with 24.2 cubic feet of space, which is eight more cubic feet than the Honda Fit offers. Moreover, the rear seats can fold flat in both cars to increase the storage capacity. But even with the rear seats folded, the Honda Fit’s 53 cubic feet of space is still 10 cubic feet less than what you'll get with the Kia Soul.
Safety
Road safety is extremely important. While on the road, you need a car that aids you in maintaining road safety. Both the Kia Soul and Honda Fit received a five-star rating from the NHTSA for their many safety features, including anti-lock brakes, front and side airbags, stability, and traction control. However, the new Kia Soul offers you more standard safety features compared to the Honda Fit. The Kia Soul comes with the DRIVEWiSE driving assist system, which comes with many active safety features, including hill-start assist, forward-collision mitigation, lane-keeping assist, and lane-following assist.
Both the Kia Soul and Honda Fit are great compact vehicles capable of meeting your needs. However, if you want more than just a compact car, the Kia Soul is your best bet. The Kia Soul offers you excellent power, a comfortable high-tech customizable interior, advanced safety features, and ample trunk space for all your extra gear.
