KIA Soul Offers Comfortable Ride and Storage for St. Louis Families

CUV has roomy dimensions for driver and passengers while providing the storage space needed

Don’t let the size or shape of the KIA Soul fool you. Those who are looking for an SUV-style vehicle for the storage and comfort but don’t want to spend a lot at the pump could consider a KIA Soul from Jim Butler KIA.

The KIA Soul may seem like a typical boxy car, but the Soul is anything but ordinary. Those who don’t know much about the Soul might not think that five adults — let alone a family with children — could fit comfortably in the seats. That’s where the naysayers are wrong.

While the Soul is a function-first vehicle, it doesn’t mean that style and comfort have to take a back seat. The Soul takes its function and turns it into style. Sure, it may look “boxy” to the untrained eye, but don’t let the shape get you down. Take a look for yourself with a test drive of a KIA Soul. You can even bring the children along to see how comfortable of a ride it can be for kids and adults.

The interior is also of durable quality, and the leather accents when used bring a delightful contrast to the quality cloth materials. Drivers will be happy with the intuitive knobs and UVO infotainment system.

To make a great family vehicle, it has to be able to store items. Don’t worry about not having room for the kids’ sports equipment or even your own bike. The seats can even fold flat if you need more storage, so don’t feel out of place at the hardware store picking up some 2x4s.

The Soul doesn’t have to be flashy to be a perfect fit for a family vehicle. Those searching for an underestimated alternative for the traditional large SUVs should definitely check out a KIA Soul from Jim Butler KIA. You can contact us online, and our friendly sales staff will be happy to assist you in your purchasing process.

One of the Cool Kids: Soul Lands on KBB Coolest Under $18K 2015 List

Versatility, Style among reasons why 2015 Soul earns place for fourth straight year

 The 2015 KIA Soul at Jim Butler KIA in Chesterfield Valley is known for its unique look and popularity, and the same Souls have earned a spot on Kelley Blue Book’s (KBB) annual Coolest New Car’s Under $18,000 List. This year marks the fourth consecutive year that the Soul has been named to KBB’s list.

The Soul urban hatchback has been quite a popular choice among compact SUV buyers, and the second generation KIA Soul’s place on the KBB’s Coolest of 2015 list backs up its numbers. SUV fans who perhaps don’t need a full-size vehicle can find what they need in a 2015 Soul.

It’s not just the sales numbers that back up the Soul’s awards. The 2015 KIA Soul’s style and versatility played a big role in the decision.

“Some cool vehicles aren’t very versatile, but the Kia Soul made our list of the 10 Coolest Cars Under $18,000 just because it is so versatile,” Jack Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com said. “On the road, the Soul’s funky, squared-off shape won’t be mistaken for anything else, and standing out is cool. At the same time, its collection of useful features and its interior versatility at a very affordable price add significantly to its overall cool quotient.”

Umbra Color Package enhances Soul’s “cool quotient”

The Soul’s highest trim level for 2015 features new options for both the interior and exterior. The Exclaim model is available with the Umber Color Package. Owners can choose between Fathom Blue or Cloud white for the exterior color as well as Gloss Black wheel inserts. For the interior, premium Nappa leather seating surfaces and door armrest accents give the KIA Soul Exclaim an extra cool touch.

Two different engines power the 2015 Soul’s three trim levels. The entry Base trim is powered by a GDI 1.6-liter DOHC 4-cylinder GAMMA engine. This efficient engine produces up to 130-horsepower and up to 118 lb.-ft. of torque; it’s mated with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.

The Plus and Exclaim trims find their power from the 2.0-L engine with up to 164 hp and torque of 151 lb.-ft. These two levels are exclusive with the automatic transmission.

The 2015 Soul is a capable, affordable, unique yet great choice for a family vehicle. Jim Butler KIA in Chesterfield Valley has a variety of 2015 Souls to choose from!
