Engine Options
At the start of this comparison, we have to discuss the robust engine option in the new Kia Soul and how it outperforms the Nissan Kicks. This new Soul offers a 2.0L four-cylinder engine with up to 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque.
The engine inside the new Nissan Kicks is slightly smaller. This 1.6L four-cylinder only brings 122 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque to the table. This is only one of the many ways that the new Kia Soul exceeds customers' expectations.
Performance
When you choose a new Kia Soul, you get a more powerful performance in many senses. This includes an intelligent variable transmission. While the new Nissan Kicks also offers a similar transmission, the new Kia Soul is known for its smooth handling and reliable performance.
You can get a higher level of efficiency with either of the new compact SUVs. The new Kia Soul brings you up to 33 MPG while on the highway, which is enough to save you a fair amount of money during your daily commute. The fuel tank capacity is larger in the new Kia Soul, meaning you don't need to stop at the gas station as often.
Interior
The new Kia Soul offers a large sunroof that lets warm light in during your daily drive to work. There are also other color and materials options to choose from, which the Kicks does not bring to the table. Along with a higher level of quality, the new Kia Soul offers more head and leg space for the passengers in the rear seat. This includes rear legroom measuring up to 38.8 inches. That means your loved ones can get more comfortable inside the new Kia Soul than the Nissan Kicks.
Technology
As soon as you sit inside the new Kia Soul, you will get a higher level of innovation than the Nissan counterpart. At the heart of the dash, there is a large infotainment center that measures up to 10.25 inches. The new Nissan Kicks offers an 8-inch touchscreen, which is not as easy to read while on the go.
There are also a ton of available technologies inside the new Kia Soul that will make your daily drive easier. This includes a wireless charging station that can keep your interior clear of those messy cords. Remote start and climate control allow you to get your new Kia Soul ready before you even leave your front door.
Safety Features
Both the new Nissan Kicks and Kia Soul come packed with excellent safety features. However, this new Kia will keep you more secure while on the go with a few added systems. That includes a navigation-based smart cruise control. This available feature automatically adjusts your speed to keep you at a secure distance from the traffic ahead of you.
