2016 Kia Soul vs. 2016 Ford C-Max

We know what you're thinking: Why are we comparing a multi-purpose vehicle with a hybrid, as is the case with the 2016 Kia Soul vs. 2016 Ford C-Max Hybrid? For starters, they're both hatchbacks, and they both offer a unique driving experience. The 2016 Soul has the famous "hamster box" look that underscores your vitality and sense of fun even as its low stature makes it easy to get in and out of, while the 2016 Ford C-Max has a more standard design, especially considering it's a fuel-efficient hybrid. And whatever benefits you might think the 2016 C-Max gives you in fuel economy, consider the starting price for the vehicles: We have the 2016 Soul at Friendly Kia with our VIP Price for less than $12,000 while you're paying nearly $20,000 for the 2016 C-Max with the competition.

The 2016 Kia Soul is the "less is more" vehicle, as this lower price is paired with superior features like more cargo room than the 2016 C-Max has. The Soul has nearly 20 percent more room to stow your bags in the back, for example, with 61.3 cubic feet of cargo room while the 2016 C-Max checks in at 52.6. You also get more passenger room in the 2016 Soul, with 101 cubic feet and available Nappa Leather in the Exclaim (!) trim level, while the 2016 C-Max has 99.7 cubic feet.
