Kid Tested – 2014 Kia Soul
Now keep in mind that my daughters are between the ages of 4 to 10, and have been car enthusiast for quite sometime. So when I asked what they liked most about 2014 Kia Soul!, they surprisingly responded with the Infinty/SirusXM radio. I was pretty curious why, so when I asked why the UVO powered radio, they likes “the way it sounds with their favorite songs”.
Four rich and dynamic speakers are paired with two A-Pillar-Mounted Tweeters that’ll help ensure your tunes have a crisp, defined top end. SiriusXM Satellite Radio offers a staggering amount of entertainment options, helping to make every drive enjoyable. SiriusXM Satellite Radio delivers over 130 channels, including 69 channels of 100% commercial-free music, plus sports, news, talk, and entertainment.
Which makes since because the Kia Soul! was purely designed to entertain your eyes and ears. The kids also enjoy the dancing rings around the speakers, and the panoramic sunroof.
