2018 Kia Soul vs. 2017 Nissan Rogue Sport
The Kia Soul is a lovable, spacious multi-purpose crossover with delightful hamsters as its spokes-rodents. But the 2018 Kia Soul, equipped with improved performance and plenty of features besides, is not messing around. Particularly with the new 2017 Nissan Rogue Sport compact crossover, which has inferior performance, space and features, for starters.
The 2018 Soul is available for prices starting at around $19,450 for the top-line Exclaim (!) trim at Tampa-area Friendly Kia with our available VIP Price, while the 2017 Rogue Sport, which is basically a smaller and more affordable version of the 2017 Nissan Rogue crossover, checks in with a starting price of more than $22,000 at the area competition for its base trim level. To name a few other benefits of the 2018 Kia Soul, with it you can enjoy up to 201 horsepower in the Exclaim trim, and as many as 11 eye-catching exterior paint color options, to the 2017 Rogue Sport's peak performance of a paltry 141 HP.
