2017 KIA Soul

When you thought, it wouldn't—it did!  All the good things about this very popular hatchback, like space, styling, comfort, and quirkiness, long list of standard and optional equipment remain the same. 

Now for 2017, the new Kia Soul has hit another sweet spot with a dose of performance in the form of a 1.6-liter Turbocharged four banger.  The Soul has its first Turbo and the hamster got hotter. You can try one out with the friendly folks at Huffines KIA McKinney in your favorite color and style. 

Yes indeed, this is the most powerful Soul yet and elevated the fun factor in spades.  The Soul turbo punches out over 200 lively horses and delivers class-leading performance with 195 lb-ft of asphalt gripping torque between 1,500 and 4,500 rpm, which is right where you want it.  A big part of what makes it work so well is the new seven speed dual clutch transmission.  This Soul turbo engages faster off the line and up shifts quicker and more aggressively, which you will realize in your enjoyable test drive.  Don't worry as smiles are free of charge. 

If you are concerned about raising fuel cost, not to fret as this Kia Soul turbo manages 26 mpg in the EPA's city test and 31 mpg on the highway.  This Kia is truly a fine daily driver that will still get the attention it deserves.  Car critics and writers are already recognizing that the 2017 Soul is something to consider as the turbo and non-turbo alike still punch out what drivers want.  For example, Car and Driver recently gave the Kia Soul the Best Subcompact SUV Award in its “10 Best Trucks and SUVs for 2017”.  But don't take anyone's word for it and do your own due diligence with a test drive. 

You will appreciate the funky charm inside and out. Since you spend so much time behind the wheel, unless of course you are washing it again, you will quickly find out that this vehicle is as much fun to drive as it is to be seen in. The Soul's cabin is richly trimmed and so very spacious for your enjoyment; your passengers will love its leg and headroom.  In fact, the spacious rear seat puts shame to its competitor’s lack of space.  The Soul's cargo space has even more room. 

You and yours will also appreciate Kia's UVO's setup for communication, entertainment and safety that is so user friendly.  No help from your teenager here.  The new 2017 Kia Soul comes with improved performance, refinements, efficiency, good looks and a vehicle owners love to hug. The Soul still manages to be both fresh and genuinely attractive. 

So, if you are in the search for a compact, commuter friendly crossover with some fire in its belly, then visit http://www.huffineskiamckinney.com today!  The bet is on that you will leave with a smile, not only because you have brought that fun factor back into your drive times, but for the great deal you received and new friends made.

2017 KIA Optima

So much more than a pretty face as the new Kia Optima is just fun to drive.  Great props are given to the Optima's refined chassis, upscale interior and the choice of four power plants for anyone's taste. 

One is waiting for you in your favorite color and style with the friendly folks at Huffines KIA McKinney and get ready for a drive.  When you slide into those comfortable sturdy seats, you will see that this Optima has lots of tech to satisfy you and your needs in communication, entertainment and safety. 

All yours for the asking is an available touch screen infotainment setup with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, adaptive cruise control and the very important autonomous emergency braking.  Other features that are uncommon at this level, are available quilted leather upholstery, panoramic sun-roof and even a 360-degree parking camera. 

This new Optima is a little taller and longer which is good for head and leg room.  The Kia Optima in its wide and assertive stance is still a car that is fun to drive around town or the long trip to grandmas.  The ride will be quiet and smooth. The Optima is still a great blend of performance, value, style and right in the mix with today's elite mid-sized family sedans.  On that test drive all of this will come into focus. 

What may be pushing you down the road is the peppy 2.4-liter four banger with 185 horses.  You can also try out the aggressive 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 245 lively horses that are also connected to a 6-speed automatic with 195 lb-ft of asphalt grabbing torque.  New for your test drive choices is the Eco model that comes with its own drive train and a 1.6-liter turbo four with over 175 horses and excellent fuel economy.  Want even better MPG, then check out the plug-in hybrid that is rated up to 99 miles per gallon.  Not a misprint!  Just wave to those gas pumps as you cruise by.  

Everything just comes together with a new Kia Optima with a slew of modern features, sharp styling, value, roomy interior and great driving dynamics that make this Optima as fun to drive as it is to be seen in.  So, what are you waiting for?  Can't be the price.  Go ahead and take that short drive to Huffines KIA McKinney or visit them online at http://www.huffineskiamckinney.com and do your own due diligence.  The bet is on that you and yours will leave with a smile, not only because you brought back the “fun factor” in the drive-times, but for the great deal you received.
