2022 Kia Soul vs. 2022 Honda HR-V

The Kia Soul has always been a unique vehicle and the 2022 Soul carried on this legacy into today. This unique styling makes the Soul one of the roomiest vehicles in its category. The 2022 Soul is offered in two engine variants namely a 2.0 four-cylinder engine at the base trim as well as a turbocharged variant that offers a little more kick. The 2022 Honda HR-V follows a rather conservative styling format for both interior and exterior styling. Perhaps Honda understands that its buyers are more concerned with functionality than aesthetics. The bland styling takes away from this remarkable SUV. Here is a comparison between these two cars and a verdict on which emerges at the top.

Design & Style

As noted earlier, the Kia Soul features a unique design that has made this crossover a favorite all across the United States. The 2022 Soul has one of the largest cabins in its category, making this crossover a comfortable vehicle to drive. The futuristic dash design is not only great to look at but is also intuitively designed to make it easier to operate. The exterior is also superbly designed with the uniquely-placed fog lights completing this unique design.

When it comes to the 2022 Honda HR-V, you also get a uniquely designed SUV that offers a great ride. The HR-V  comes with a sloping roofline, a change fr4om the previous models that had a boxy shape. This has created space problems in the rear seat, especially for tall passengers.

Technology & Safety

The 2022 Kia Soul offers a number of tech features that make this vehicle such great value for money. Buyers get an 8-inch infotainment display that comes standard on the 2022 Soul. Buyers also get smartphone integration in the form of Android Audio and Apple CarPlay. You also have the option to upgrade the infotainment system to a ten-inch touchscreen display with satellite-phone connectivity. When it comes to the 2022 Honda HR-V, you also get a bevy of tech features that include an 8-inch touchscreen display. Most of the great stuff however is only available as options.

Performance

The 2022 Kia Soul is powered by a 2.0 liter, four-cylinder engine for its base trim. This engine provides plenty of power but petrolheads can opt for a turbocharged variant that offers an even greater sporty performance. Handling is superb and the Kia soul glides along the highway smoothly. The finely-tuned suspension ensures that road imperfections are kept out of the cabin as well. When it comes to the 2022 Honda HR-V, you also get a superb 2.0-liter engine in the base trim. Ride dynamics are great and the cabin is well insulated.

The Bottom Line

Comparing the 2022 Honda HR-V and the 2022 Kia Soul, you get greater value for your money with the Soul. This is because you get more functionality, more tech, and a unique design with the 2022 Soul. The 2022 Kia Soul also offers a more spacious cabin, making it an all-rounded vehicle. For this reason, the 2022 Kia Soul wins this comparison easily.
