When you’re buying a Kia Soul, you want to make sure that it matches your personality. Every Soul is versatile and stylish, but you can customize it by choosing the right trim level and exterior color. Maybe you want an exterior color that blends in with the crowd, or perhaps you want to turn heads. No matter your goal, there is a Kia Soul color for you. Available Kia Soul Colors Neutral Colors Many drivers want to stay neutral when buying their Kia Soul. Going with a neutral color is a good idea if you ever plan to sell your vehicle in the future, as models with more popular colors tend to retain their resale value better. A crisp Clear White exterior is a great choice, as is the similar shade of Soulful Clear White. If you like light neutrals but want a bit more personality, consider the Bright Silver or Titanium Gray exterior. On the other hand, if you are concerned about your Soul getting dirty when driving around town, Shadow Black is an excellent choice. Neutral shades of blue include Caribbean Blue and Fathom Blue. Bold Shades For those who prefer to stand out from the crowd, the Kia Soul is also available in Alien 2, a unique shade that is a cross between green and yellow, and you are unlikely to find anything else like it. This quirky color complements the unique styling of the Soul very well, creating a perfect combination. Solar Yellow is perhaps even bolder, and Inferno Red is sure to stand out, as well. If you don’t want to stand out quite as much, you can opt for a White and Red exterior, and there is a combination of Inferno Red and Black for those who can’t pick but want to be bold. Interior Colors Most interior colors for the Soul are nice and dark to make it harder to notice dirt. Depending on the trim and exterior color, you’re looking at these options: Black tricoat cloth Soulful black cloth Black leather Black woven cloth Gray two-tone woven Gray two-tone leather Umber Nappa leather Where to Buy Your Kia Soul Once you have figured out which of the numerous color options you want for your Kia Soul, it is time to figure out where to buy it.

Start looking for your next Kia to drive around Charlotte, and you will likely find yourself wondering if you should buy or lease. This is a tough decision for many people, and there is no easy answer. After all, some people will do to buy while others will prefer to lease a vehicle. Benefits of Leasing More Affordable Those on a budget tend to strongly consider leasing a Kia since it is much more affordable. You will pay less initially on the down payment and then pay lower monthly fees. Get a Better Vehicle Because leasing is more affordable, you can frequently lease a more expensive Kia than you would be able to buy. Change Your Vehicle It is also much easier to get a new vehicle in a few years if you choose to lease your Kia instead of buying it. A lease only lasts for several years, at which point you can simply sign a new lease for a new vehicle. Benefits of Buying Can Customize If you want to customize your Kia and make any changes to it, then you need to buy. Leases don’t allow for changes to the interior, exterior, or mechanics, but you can do whatever you want to the car you own. No Mileage Limits Leases tend to include mileage limits and fees if you go over. When you own a car, however, you can drive as much as you want without any extra fees, including long commutes and road trips. No Worry of Wear and Tear The same is true for wear and tear. If you have an excessive amount on your vehicle during a lease, you will be charged. If you accidentally rip the seats and own your vehicle, however, you only have to fix it if you want to. Eventually Stop Paying While buying your Kia costs more, eventually you won’t have to make any more payments. Once you have paid for the entire thing, you only have to worry about gas and maintenance costs. Should You Lease or Buy? Families with Kids and Pets To help you choose between l ease vs. buy options for your Kia, consider a few examples. Let’s say you have several young kids who tend to spill food in the car or maybe you have a dog that may rip up the seats by accident. Buying a Kia will save you wear-and-tear charges. Always Want the Latest Now imagine you are someone who always wants to have the latest styling and technology. When a new phone comes out, you are first in line. In this case, you will want to lease since you can drive a new car for a year or two, then get the latest model without having to pay extra.

Kia has recently announced plans to roll out its brand-new hybrid crossover utility vehicle — Niro — for its 2017 model lineup. The Niro is ideal for drivers seeking both quality engineering and an ecologically friendly experience. Get ready today for the market-changing Kia Niro. New Kia Niro Hybrid Specs Engineering the Future of Driving Kia has long been known for its well-engineered vehicles, but the Niro brings the company’s portfolio to another echelon of automobile development. The Niro boasts Kia’s newly engineered 1.7L Kappa GDI Engine, which blends the potency of a gasoline engine with the increased torque and efficiency of an electric engine. Its method of direct injection into the combustion chamber allows for greater fuel efficiency while sacrificing virtually none of the performance power. A Lot of Vehicle for a Little Eco-Footprint Increasingly stringent standards on vehicular emissions have been tough for many crossovers and SUVs as they often can’t boast the MPG of smaller sedans. However, the 2017 Kia Niro has no problem exceeding the smaller MPGs of its competitors. Kia estimates that its Niro will boast a combined 50 MPG average for both city and highway driving, which translates into fewer emissions and greater savings for you. That’s a Hybrid? Most consumers are able to spot clunky hybrids without a problem. Their square, boxy designs sacrifice looks for utility. With the Kia Niro, designers and engineers came together to create a sleek and modern aesthetic. It boasts intelligence and luxury without sacrificing all the advantages of its hybrid gas-electric engine and ample cargo space for all of your adventures. If you’re not looking for the size of the Kia Niro, there are other eco-friendly models available here at Union County Kia. Ask some of the friendly, helpful sales staff for assistance matching your needs with other available Kia models like the 105 MPG Soul EV or the 38 MPG Optima Hybrid, and make sure to ask when they expect the groundbreaking new Niro will hit the showroom floor.
