Do you like having fun while you’re behind the wheel, with tech options and handling that come effortlessly whether you pick up friends for carpooling, hunker down for a road trip, or drive to the store with family? Then you’ll want to check out the 2018 Kia Soul, a multi-purpose vehicle with plenty of room for bags in back, an exceptional color palette, a striking boxy design, and more performance than you dared dream. In the other corner is the first-ever 2018 Toyota C-HR, also known as “Coupe High Rider,” which is a compact crossover with nice fuel economy, a diamond-styled design and better than average cargo room in back. However, these qualities suffer in comparison to the 2018 Kia Soul's features.
To start, the 2018 Kia Soul comes with a turbo-charged engine in its top-line Exclaim (!) trim level with 201 horsepower, which makes the road quiver and makes lane changes easier than before with this crossover. The 2018 C-HR only manages 144 HP in both of its trim options. The C-HR may have 36.4 cubic feet for cargo, but the 2018 Soul has an SUV-like 61.3 cubic feet for your bags and boxes.

The 2018 Kia Soul also comes with superior technology to competitors like the 2018 Toyota C-HR, with its UVO eServices, and available voice-command navigation with an 8-inch screen. The 2018 C-HR tops out at a 7-inch screen, and also does not come with compatibility with Apple CarPlay, which the Kia Soul and the Kia line in general, can sync up with.
Finally, take a look at the awards case for the Kia Soul in recent months: For the 2017 model year, the Soul was named "Highest Ranked Compact Multi-Purpose Vehicle in Initial Quality" by J.D. Power in its 2017 Initial Quality Study, as well as Parents Magazine and Edmunds "10 Best Family Cars of 2017," to name but a few of the honors the Soul achieved, while the 2018 C-HR is still getting its feet wet and not racking up praise and awards like the Kia Soul is accustomed to.
If you want a crossover with superior power, tech features and cargo room, as well as more choices among exterior paint colors, then the choice is simple: The 2018 Kia Soul.
