Autoblog
The 2013 Kia Soul is small, but thankfully both its occupant protection and its list of standard safety equipment are excellent.
Six airbags, anti-lock brakes, and stability control are all included in the Soul, and now models with the navigation system include a rearview camera system—which isn't quite as necessary here as outward visibility is quite good, but it helps.
Neither the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) nor the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have yet extended their safety ratings for the Soul at the time of posting; but the Soul has been an IIHS Top Safety Pick, and its four- and five-star federal results are expected to be carried over.
Conclusion
Next to most other small, affordable vehicles, the Kia Soul promises strong safety.
