It is officially back-to-school season and Kelley Blue Book want to make sure that students everywhere are getting to their classes safely. That’s why they recently released their annual list of the 10 Best Back-to-School Cars! The vehicles on this list are selected based on attributes that KBB feels will be appealing to both students and their parents. Teens are generally more interested in getting a vehicle that they think looks cool, while their parents are more concerned with their safety. Therefore, all of the vehicles on the list are top in safety and style, and are all offered with a starting MSRP of $20,000 or less making them more affordable to the student market.
The model that claimed the number two spot on this year’s list was none other than the 2016 Kia Soul! The Soul has been a popular staple of the Kia lineup since its initial introduction and its eye-catching design and assortment of safety and convenience features it is clear why this model was included on the list. This model is offered in three trim level options, base, + (plus), and ! (exclaim) and has a starting MSRP of $15,690**.
