Kia Soul and Cadenza Named Active Lifestyle Vehicle of the Year Award Winners
Soul Crowned King of Urban Category for Fifth Consecutive Year
“Winning the Active Lifestyle Vehicle award for the fifth consecutive year is a clear indication that the #soul makes a great companion for urbanites who are constantly on the go,” said #orthhedrick, vice president of product planning, KMA. “Its unique combination of style, fun-to-drive attitude, extensive feature content, and practicality make the #soul a crowd favorite, while the Cadenza’s upscale #design, ample interior, and advanced convenience features make it a fierce competitor in the full-size sedan segment.”
The 2016 #soul is one of KMA’s best-selling nameplates for good reason. The fun-loving #soul combines a funky and functional #design, premium interior and a long list of standard and optional amenities. With a starting MSRP of just $15,900 (excluding destination charges of $850), the 2016 #soul boasts value and utility in a small and stylish package. For 2017, the #soul aims to increase its popularity with the addition of a turbocharged engine option. The all-new #cadenza will soon be arriving in showrooms with an estimated starting price just below $32,000.
“Buyers with active lifestyles have always been value focused. They need vehicles with the versatility to haul their gear, but want to have money left over to afford the new bicycle, kayak or skis they’ve been lusting after,” said #ninarussin, founder of the Active Lifestyle Vehicle program. “The #kia #soul won the urban category for the fifth consecutive year because it’s a stylish, affordable vehicle with a spacious cargo area and small footprint that functions well in congested city centers. And along with its industry-leading warranty, the new #cadenza is proof that a luxurious car doesn’t have to break the bank.”
