In the Kia Soul always fit 340 liters, with folded rear seat back the volume is growing at 1258 liters. Less helpful is working the Suspension of the Korean: be bumpy for the passengers to a real endurance test. The Juke springs more easily digestible, takes curves but not as snappy as the Soul. The tough defeat the steering and roll motions.

A continuously variable Xtronic CVT transmission transfers the power to the front wheels, a regenerative braking system returns energy to the batteries.
