How Long Can You Go Between Fuel Stops?

Both models offer very similar performance since they each are powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. Within each vehicle, this is able to generate 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, which is enough power to maintain the speeds needed when driving along 30.

With the same engine output, it is also no surprise they both do an equally great job at conserving fuel. If you are just driving around downtown Reading or Lancaster or riding along the open highway, these vehicles will make sure to use as little gas as possible. Both the Hyundai Kona and Kia Soul get an EPA-estimated 27 city/33 highway MPG.1

While they both make each gallon of gas last, they differ in how much fuel they can hold at one time. The 2021 Kona has a fuel tank that can hold 13.2 gallons. The 2021 Soul can be filled with up to 14.3 gallons of gas, which means you will be able to drive for farther stretches before having to refuel again. That extra fuel can be the difference in whether you can make it to work or your doctor’s appointment without having to get gas beforehand and arrive late.

Interior Space of the 2021 Soul vs 2021 Kona

While these vehicles are able to conserve fuel at a similar rate to sedans, they are more closely related to a larger SUV when it comes to the space inside the vehicle. You can hold way more cargo in each vehicle compared to the trunk of your normal sedan.

At its maximum, the 2021 Kia Soul has 62.1 cubic feet of cargo volume inside its cabin. The 2021 Kona will give you up to 45.8 cubic feet of cargo volume. If you have longer or taller items you frequently take with you, you’ll have an easier time fitting them in the Kia Soul.

There is also more space when you have a car full of your friends or family inside the Kia Soul, which has 102.2 cubic feet of passenger volume. The Hyundai Kona will feel more compact with only 94.1 cubic feet of passenger volume within its cabin.
