So, I was reading about the 2025 Kia Soul’s tech features and wanted to know if anyone’s looked into it yet? Seems like they’ve packed a ton into this thing, from wireless Apple CarPlay to some fancy driver-assist stuff. I’m curious how the infotainment system works in real life. Anyone tried it out?
Yeah, I’ve been eyeing it too! That 10.25-inch touchscreen sounds cool, but I’m wondering if it’s laggy or anything. Wireless CarPlay is a big plus for me.

I saw a demo online, and it looked pretty smooth. No lag that I noticed. The voice recognition seemed decent too, if you’re into that.

Good to hear! I use voice commands a lot, so that’s actually a big deal for me. Thanks for the heads-up.
Does anyone know how the Kia Connect thing works? Like, is it just remote start and all that, or does it do more?

Yeah, it’s more than just remote start. You can set the cabin temp from your phone, track the car, and get maintenance alerts. Pretty handy.

Oh wow, tracking the car? That’s actually pretty useful. Especially if you park in sketchy places lol.
I’m hyped about the Harman Kardon audio system! Anyone know if it’s as good as they say? Like, does the bass hit hard?

I’ve got an older Soul with a Harman Kardon system, and it’s pretty sweet. The bass definitely packs a punch, and the ambient lighting is a fun touch.

Nice, that sounds awesome! I’m all about that bass. Might have to check it out in person.
Anyone know if the Smart Parking Assist is easy to use? I’m worried it’ll be one of those features that sounds cool but never really works.

From what I’ve read, it’s actually pretty reliable. Just scans for a spot and handles everything, but you still gotta keep your foot on the brake just in case.

Ah, gotcha. That makes sense. I’ll have to test it myself to see if it’s worth it.
Can someone explain what HDA is? I keep hearing about it, but I’m not sure what it actually does.

Sure thing! HDA stands for Highway Driving Assist. It keeps you centered in your lane, adjusts speed for curves, and even changes speed limits. Kinda like semi-autonomous driving.

Ohhh, thanks! Sounds like a game-changer for long trips. Appreciate the explanation.
