There are few feelings in life that can compare to cruising around town in a smooth and tech-filled set of wheels. When you’re comfortable and taken care of, your drives near Ann Arbor, Belleville, and Canton, MI, will be made even better. There are a lot of options, so it’s important to find what’s right for you.
The 2022 Kia Soul and the 2020 Honda Fit are two popular compact options for drivers looking for a fun drive. That’s why we’ve assembled this comparison.
Read on to see what the team at LaFontaine Kia has learned about these rides before making your next decision.

PASSENGER VOLUME
One of the first factors you want to consider when choosing your next hatchback, is performance. A zippier engine with more horsepower has the ability to kick your everyday drive up a notch and make commuting to work more enjoyable.
The 2022 Kia Soul rises to the occasion with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that provides you with 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. Want to really kick it up a notch? The Soul delivers an available 1.6-liter 4-cylinder with turbocharger that churns out a heart-pumping 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque.
Unfortunately, the 2022 Honda Fit is only available with one engine option. Plus, with only 130 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque, this motor falls significantly short of its competition.
When you bring your friends and family along for the ride, you’ll need to have plenty of space for everyone to stretch out and relax in. A roomier cabin means that you and your riders will have more freedom during those long road trips.
The 2022 Kia Soul offers you 102.2 cubic feet of passenger volume. Compared to the 95.7 cubic feet in the Honda Fit, the Kia Soul gives you a massive upgrade in the compact class. This difference is made even more apparent when you compare the measurements side by side:

| FRONT/REAR HIP ROOM | 53.5" / 52.8" | 51.5" / 45.1" |
As you can see, everyone will have more space to stretch out in multiple directions. Rear seat passengers in particular will be thankful for the added room.
The Kia Soul excels in cargo room when compared to the 2020 Honda Fit. Whether you are carrying passengers in the back or you fold down the seats, the Kia Soul gives you more room for your luggage, groceries, and equipment.
Whether you’re going downtown for some shopping or planning a grand road trip, the 2022 Kia Soul lets you pack in more people and cargo.
