Innovative Tech in a Bold Package

The 2025 Kia Soul continues to make waves in Chicagoland with its unique design, impressive value, and forward-thinking technology. While its boxy silhouette turns heads, what impresses drivers across the Chicago area is the tech inside. From advanced infotainment to premium audio and cutting-edge safety, the Soul packs more innovation than many expect from a compact crossover. Here's a closer look at the top five tech features drivers in the Windy City love most about the 2025 Kia Soul.

A Smarter Infotainment Experience

The Kia Soul's infotainment system sets the stage for a modern, connected drive. The base LX trim has an 8-inch touchscreen display featuring Bluetooth, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. Step up from the base model, and you'll enjoy a more expansive 10.25-inch touchscreen with built-in navigation, giving drivers turn-by-turn directions right from the dash. Whether you’re commuting downtown or heading to the suburbs, this seamless connectivity keeps drivers entertained and informed without distraction.

Harman Kardon Premium Audio

Music lovers will appreciate the Harman Kardon premium audio system available on GT-Line and EX trims. This powerful setup includes 10 speakers, a dedicated center speaker, a booming subwoofer, and an external amplifier for concert-quality sound. Chicagoland drivers also love the available speaker lights package, which offers adjustable color themes that pulse along with your favorite tunes—turning every drive into an immersive experience.

Remote Start for All-Weather Convenience

Remote start is a must-have for Midwest winters, and the 2025 Kia Soul delivers. Standard on all trims except the base LX, remote start lets you warm up your cabin before leaving the house. It's accessible through both the vehicle's smart key and the Kia Access app, giving you control from your phone. Whether it’s a snowy January morning or a hot summer afternoon, your Soul is ready before you are.

Wireless Charging on the Go

Staying connected means keeping your devices charged; the Soul makes that easy. A wireless charging pad is standard on all trims except the LX so you can leave the cords behind. Just place your phone on the charging surface, and the Soul will take care of the rest. It's a small touch that makes a big difference, especially for busy commuters and weekend adventurers.

Advanced Kia Drive Wise Safety Suite

Every 2025 Soul comes standard with Kia Drive Wise, a suite of advanced driver-assistance features that help keep you safe on Chicago’s busy roads. Standard systems include:

• Lane departure warning
• Lane-keeping assist
• Lane following assist
• Intelligent speed limit assist
• Driver attention warning
• Rear occupant alert
• Rearview monitor
• Forward collision-avoidance assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection

Higher trims add even more protection with available features like blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, junction turning detection, rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, lane change assist, highway driving assist, and navigation-based smart cruise control with stop-and-go.

Bonus Tech Worth Noting

Beyond the big five, the Kia Soul is packed with thoughtful technology. A USB data port comes standard in the front console, while additional USB charging ports are available for convenience. The EX trim even includes a 12-volt power outlet in the cargo area—perfect for tailgating or powering gear on the go. Optional features like Kia Connect and SiriusXM satellite radio further enhance the Soul’s tech-savvy appeal.
