You can be forgiven if you’re having trouble keeping up with all the awards Kia vehicles are winning.  We’re having a little trouble keeping up too, but we sure are glad to have so many award-winning vehicles in our Kia inventory at Folsom Lake Kia.

The latest accolade comes from About.com and it names the popular and exciting 2014 Kia Soul urban passenger vehicle to their list of “Best Cars of 2014.”  The 2014 Kia Soul was recognized for its great value and upscale feel.  Editors also recognized its overall attributes as a well-executed offering from Kia.

According to Michael Sprague, Kia Motors America Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, “Keeping what made the first-generation Soul special while addressing areas for improvement was no easy task, but our dealers and customers — and now the editors of About.com — have confirmed that we hit the mark.”

The 2014 Kia Soul is dynamic and expressive, offering a fun driving experience and an upscale feel which sets it apart in its segment.  It’s a unique offering from Kia automakers — sporty and individual, and we’re proud to offer El Dorado Hills drivers the fun and funky 2014 Kia Soul at Folsom Lake Kia.

“The Soul has always stood out for its style and value.  With the 2014 redesign, Kia has managed to improve the driving experience without sacrificing the car’s unique features…  Not only is the Soul a great car, it’s a lesson to other automakers on how to update an iconic vehicle without taking away the attributes that have made it such a success,” said About.com’s Aaron Gold.

“With its very passionate following of fans, it was vitally important that the all-new 2014 Soul retain its iconic design, functionality, and value while providing a more premium interior and improved driving dynamics.” said Sprague.
