<br />There is no rating yet for the Kia Soul in the U.S., but in Europe the car did the business: the Soul scored five stars on the NCAP frontal offset, side impact and pole crash tests, doing no worse than <a href="http://www.euroncap.com/results/kia/soul/360.aspx">"marginal" in just two areas</a>. In the frontal offset test the windshield doesn't crack and there is only minor cosmetic damage aft of the front door's front shut line. It's a big result for a little car, and if it has the reliability to match it should do very, very well. <span style="font-style: italic;">Thanks for the tip, GenGT!</span><br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-soul-euro-ncap-test/">Kia Soul Euro NCAP Test</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-soul-euro-ncap-test/2043896/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/05/01_kia_soul_ncap_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-soul-euro-ncap-test/2043897/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/05/02_kia_soul_ncap_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-soul-euro-ncap-test/2043898/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/05/03_kia_soul_ncap_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-soul-euro-ncap-test/2043899/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/05/04_kia_soul_ncap_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-soul-euro-ncap-test/2043900/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/05/05_kia_soul_ncap_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okQz7PHjULc">YouT ube</a>]<br /><p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/30/video-kia-soul-aces-euro-ncap-crash-tests/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>VIDEO: Kia Soul aces Euro NCAP crash tests</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/30/video-kia-soul-aces-euro-ncap-crash-tests/">VIDEO: Kia Soul aces Euro NCAP crash tests</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Sat, 30 May 2009 17:04:00 EST.
