Is the Kia Soul Good in the Snow?

During the harsh winters in Augusta, ME, it's important to have a vehicle that can take on just about any weather condition. After all, you never know when the snow will start to fall. When it comes to the Kia Soul at Charlie's Kia, many drivers come to us asking if the Soul can handle the heavy snows that we sometimes see in the area. To answer that question, here is an explanation of a few of the capability features of the Soul that are sure to help you this coming winter in Bangor.

Crash Avoidance

One component of being effective in the snow is being able to avoid accidents. Fortunately, the Kia Soul comes equipped with multiple crash-avoidance technologies that can help you when conditions deteriorate. From the available Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist system to the auto emergency braking technology, the Soul has everything you need to help you regain control when the road conditions have you out of control.

Ground Clearance

Another feature that makes the Kia Soul well-suited for driving in snow is its enhanced ground clearance. The 6.7 inches of ground clearance available on newer Kia Souls puts it higher than similar vehicles in its category. This ensures that you won't get bogged down in heavy snow so that you can continue on your journey to work, school, or anywhere else that you need to go. Plus, the extra ground clearance makes it easier to keep from dragging snow into your vehicle when you enter and exit your car around Auburn.

Climate Control

The last thing you want to do is trudge through the snow to turn on your vehicle so that it can begin warming up on a cold winter morning. That's why the Kia Soul comes with the available Kia Access app. This app allows you to remotely start your vehicle and remotely control the temperature in the cabin. This ensures that your vehicle is totally ready to go so that you only have to venture into the cold one time.
