Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Soul than the Audi A5, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Kia Soul will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Audi A5.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Audi A5 as you will with the Kia Soul, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Audi A5 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia Soul, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Audi A5 is much wider than the Kia Soul, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Audi A5, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia Soul.

Handling
The Audi A5 has a larger turning radius than the Kia Soul, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi A5 has a much more powerful engine than the Kia Soul. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Audi A5 does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Kia Soul.

Utility
The Audi A5 has less seating than the Kia Soul, making the Kia Soul the better choice if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
