5 Great New Tech Features on the 2020 Kia Soul

1. 10.25-inch Touchscreen HD Display

While the Soul comes with a standard 7-inch multimedia touchscreen as the base of operations, those who live by the motto “bigger is better” can opt for the available 10.25-inch monster display. Not only will the bigger touchscreen impress passengers, as it is sure to be the first thing they see, but it will also make navigating through music, maps, and other apps easier than ever. You’ll be able to connect two devices to Bluetooth and utilize the split-screen as well.

2. Wireless Charging

No plug? No problem. Ignore the clutter and the tangling of chords and simply put your Qi-compatible device down and the charging will begin automatically. Obviously, some of our in-laws, aunts, and uncles are still living in the dinosaur age, and that’s okay because there are still old-fashioned charging ports available in the cabin.

3. Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant

Both Alexa and Google Assistant are available to use with your compatible devices. To keep your attention on the road, use voice commands for navigation, locking or unlocking your car (with UVO Link), and many more features. Using either one of these is safe and convenient all while making you feel like the captain of the Star Trek Enterprise.

4. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Whether you swear by Apple or are a dedicated Android user, the Kia Soul has got you covered. This hands-free technology was created with the text and drive public in mind. By syncing your compatible device to your Kia Soul, you can navigate through your phone without ever having to actually touch your device.

You can navigate using the touchscreen infotainment center or by using voice commands to make and receive phone calls, read and reply to texts, or put on your favorite driving song. In a Classic Rock mood? Ok, Google.

5.  Kia Access App

The Kia Access app with UVO Link gives remote functionality through your connected smartphone. There’s a Find My Car feature available for when you lose sight of your vehicle in the parking lot of the grocery store (we’ve all done it), and features such as Remote Climate Control and the ability to start your car or turn it off while away from it.

Paired with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, your phone becomes the centerpiece of your vehicle and allows for convenience as you’ve never seen before.

For those of you that are convinced (and definitely for those on the fence), it may be a good idea to come down to Darcars Lanham Kia and have a look for yourself. With a great exterior, interior, and the latest tech features, there’s a lot to rave about.
