Consumers like compact cars because they’re easier to maneuver and park in crowded urban areas. Two examples in this car category are the 2023 Kia Soul and the 2023 Hyundai Kona. When you first look at them, they seem to have similar features. But focus on comparing certain details, and the Soul becomes a better deal.
The 2023 Kia Soul is the better buy because it has a lower starting MSRP with more capabilities, such as a larger cargo volume of 62.1 cu. ft. when you fold the rear seatbacks and more speakers to enhance your music. Its Dual-Zone Climate Control encourages you and your front passenger to set separate temperatures.
