THE RIVALS
SOUL VS. SCION xB
It’s the little box that started it all. Although the latest generation has softened its edges for more mainstream appeal, the xB remains one of the top contenders in the scene.But the new version of this Scion is larger, heavier and less fuel efficient than its predecessor. xB better watch its back — with several key advantages, Soul is one scrappy challenger…
SOUL VS. SCION xD
While still a relative newcomer, the xD enjoys a bit of a halo effect from its older sibling, the iconic Scion xB. And while the xD strays from its traditional boxy look, it’s still chock-full of the quirky styling cues and amenities Scion is famous for. But not to fret, the all-new Kia Soul offers several key advantages that will make an xD owner blush…

SOUL VS. NISSAN CUBE
This elusive new box from Nissan aims to make an impact on American soil after many years of production overseas. Often described as a marshmallow on wheels, the Cube’s unique asymmetrical styling may be off-putting to many, but desirable to those looking to be different. But being different isn’t enough; you have to deliver what the people want. And as you’ll see, Soul offers several items that Cube forgot to include on its wish list…
SOUL VS. SUZUKI SX4 CROSSOVER
The Suzuki SX4 Crossover packs a ton of value into an affordable package with standard features like a pop-up navigation system, 16-inch alloy wheels and stability control, plus available all-wheel drive. Not to worry, though, Soul still has a decided advantage with more standard audio connectivity features, better fuel economy and a more spacious interior to keep its occupants happy wherever their journey leads them…
