Kia Soul 
This unique-looking crossover has undergone a major makeover for 2014. The exterior is more refined, especially the tail end. The platform has been modified and the use of lighter and more resistant steel improves torsional rigidity. The suspension has also been modified and improves comfort and handling. It comes factory standard with a 138-hp 1.6L four-cylinder, but you can opt for a 164-hp 2.0L engine instead.
