2017 Soul Turbo
The 2017 Kia Soul has been presented with a 2017 Best Buy Award in the Subcompact Car segment by Consumer Guide® Automotive. This now makes this the third consecutive year that the Soul has earned this impressive, and highly coveted recognition in its segment. Editors noted the amount of convenience features, fun personality, and spacious interior, and stylish looks as main reasons why they chose it for this to recognition.
“People gravitate toward the Soul because of its head-turning style, extensive feature content, and excellent value. Its practicality makes it a perfect fit for just about every type of lifestyle,” said Orth Hedrick, vice president product planning Kia Motors America. “Being recognized by Consumer Guide Automotive for a third consecutive year proves the Soul continues to be a crowd favorite, and with the new turbocharged version offered for 2017, we anticipate its popularity will surge to new heights.”
The Best Buy Awards from Consumer Guide Automotive are presented each year to the vehicle that they believe is the top option in each of their 20 vehicle segments. The vehicle price and value are two of the main factors that editors consider when evaluating each model as they are looking for the vehicles that offer the best quality for the price.

At the annual SEMA show manufacturers from all over were on hand to showcase some of their most innovative concept vehicles and Kia was certainly no exception. The brand featured several new and redesigned models from their upcoming lineup along with a few specialty models that were built and designed specifically for SEMA. Two of these models were the 2017 Kia Sorento Ski Gondola version and the 2017 Kia Soul Autonomous Luxury version, both of which were completely customized by Lux Motorsports.
The 2017 Kia Sorento Ski Gondola was customized from top to bottom and includes rubber tracks in place of tires, a custom roof rack, new LED lighting, cameras in place of side view mirrors, and suicide doors. The ski gondola theme is carried through on the interior with customized fabric and stitching, reversed front seats, and fully autonomous control.
The 2017 Kia Soul Autonomous Luxury version was given a high-end luxury feel with a new Lux Electric Blue exterior paint job and a reupholstered interior with a mixture of leather, suede, and wood accent trimmings. To continue with Kia’s theme of autonomy there are also a variety of new technologies included in this vehicle such as automatic leg lifts, a flat screen tv, and a tablet control, all of which can be enjoyed through the reversed front seats.
Take a closer look at these custom-built models in the videos below for a glimpse at what the future may hold.
