2020 Kia Soul Vs. 2020 FIAT 500L

Reliability, Warranty Coverage, Fuel Efficiency and Safety Features Push the Kia Soul Well Ahead of the Quirky FIAT 500L

The above chart illustrates the two different approaches adopted by Kia and Fiat with regards to the increasingly-popular subcompact crossover segment.

For Kia, the segment is an opportunity to offer more for less and deliver staggering value for drivers who want to enjoy comfort, confidence and panache in an economical and agile package. Though a bit lighter on power, the standard 4-cylinder engine blasts past that of the 500L while demanding less-expensive regular fuel. Those who want more oomph, however, can choose the GT-Line Turbo’s 1.6-liter turbocharged engine for 200+ horsies of fun.

Inside, the Kia Soul is meant to relax and delight. A standard infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is matched by the FIAT 500L but drivers and passengers will both appreciate the extra legroom and cargo space available when seating is up and in use.

The Kia Soul is not without quirks, though. Drivers who want some fun and function will love the lighted speaker surrounds that change color and flash in time to your music as well as the incredible palette of colors that are available for the 2020 Kia Soul, including many duo-tone options.

Finally, a powertrain warranty that is twice as long as the one found on the 500L and a Top Safety Pick+ award from the IIHS mark the 2020 Kia Soul as a crossover where confidence is included at no extra charge.
