It’s more than official—the 2016 Kia Soul might be one of the coolest cars on the market. This funky urban commuter car has once again earned a spot on Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com 10 Coolest Cars Under $18,000. This is the fifth year in a row the Soul has appeared on the list, which means it is not only one of the quirkiest looking cars in the industry—it’s also one of the most fun-to-drive and fun-to-own vehicles.
“The Soul’s fun and funky personality is infectious, and the fact that it’s been a mainstay on Kelley Blue Book’s list of 10 Coolest Cars Under $18,000 is a clear indication that the Soul offers the perfect blend of style and substance,” said Orth Hedrick, vice president of product planning for Kia Motors America.
