This matchup just in with Kia's latest announcement for a sub-million (disc 50k) compact SUV.

What would you choose?

Di ko pa nakita pareho itong cars d2 pero sa brazil I saw eco sport & Kia Soul sa Canada. Halos parehas laki nila sa tingin ko pero di pa ako naka upo sa loob ng mga ito. Bias ako in favor of diesel crdi coz I love the diesel engine torque. Kung power /torque pag usapan sa Kia Soul ako, if going for features & bling bling segurado eco-sport na. Tingnan ko nga maga ito one of this days sa show rooms.

The Soul doesn't have enough ground clearance to be considered a compact SUV, it barely has 150 mm ground clearance. It's also larger than the Ecosport and is not built to wade into 550 mm depth of water / flood.

Tama ba na meron dimensions increase ang 2015 Soul? Pero I doubt na yung ground clearance dadagdagan nila. Right now the Soul CRDi is being offered at 970k for the first 50 buyers. Titanium ecosport is at 975k.

Just my opinion, but I think the soul is just for bling and porma. Versatility comes with the Ecosport no doubt. But let's wait for the FC figures of the ecosport. Power and responsiveness, no doubt the CRDi would win this.

i'll pick the soul CRDi. malamang kasing lakas ng accent crdi to. matipid din. whereas ang ecosport ang hina. maybe because sa powershift. space wise same lang naman sa ecosport. talo lang sa ground clearance ang soul

Ecosport ako, yan ibibili ko kay wifey.

Soul is not an SUV. Feeling lang.

Bakit kailangan ng water clearance? Eh yung mga gumagamit di naman umaabot sa putik yung mga gulong. Kung baha yung problema, eh di wag ilusong kung subrang lalim. Eh kung civic o lancer o vios naglulusong nga sa baha, di problema yung ground clearance.

I was in Ford Balintawak last Thursday inquiring about the Ranger. While waiting for the SA, I was able to seat in an Ecosport Titanium. I'm 6'2 and it has lots of legroom for a tall driver. Overall i was pretty impressed with it

Same reason why people buy pickups and SUVs.

Good to have lang. Nangyari samin dati, bumaha parking. Iba samin may ongoing o.r and wala bintana ang operating room. Pinasok na yung sedan ng kasama ko, flooded na interior. Yung pick up nung isa, ok lang, di man ata naabot stepboard. Iwas hassle kumbaga.
