7. Kia Soul

With its unmistakable boxy shape, the Kia Soul has always stood out—sometimes for the wrong reasons. But step inside, and you’ll find unexpected comfort, generous cargo space, and a value-packed feature list that punches above its weight.
Drivers who once laughed at the Soul’s funky look often end up appreciating its practicality and fun personality. As Kelley Blue Book notes, this compact car offers more than meets the eye, making it a smart choice for all ages.
