The Kia Soul (Korean: 기아 쏘울) is a subcompact crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Kia since 2008. Often described and marketed as a crossover since its introduction, the Soul is a hatchback with a box proportion and tall roof, which are designed to maximize its interior space. Despite its SUV-like styling, the Soul was never available with all-wheel drive, instead it is exclusively a front-wheel drive vehicle.

The Soul first appeared in 2006 in the form of a concept model displayed at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The production model made its debut at the Paris Motor Show in 2008. During its introduction, Kia stated that the Soul is aimed at the North American market, and targeted towards buyers in the 18 to 35-year old range.

Toyota bB / Scion xB (XP30), is a mini MPV/subcompact car that was produced between 2000-2006 (Jan. 2000-Dec. 2005 for bB, June 2003-Dec. 2006 for xB). It is based on the Toyota NBC (New Basic Car) platform, which it shares with the Toyota Vitz (XP10).
The bB was produced with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 4-speed automatic transmission, and came with either a 1.5L 1NZ-FE inline-4 engine, or a 1.3L 2NZ-FE inline-4. The xB only came with the 1NZ-FE. The xB had some modifications done for its left-hand-drive conversion, notably the replacement of the bench seat with bucket seats, and the column-mounted shifter on the bB being replaced with a floor-mounted shifter on the xB.
In Japan, there was a coupe utility model titled the bB Open Deck produced between 2000-2001, and it resembles a miniature pickup truck.
Four special "Release Series" editions of the Scion xB were produced, which all came with their own paint colors, and some extra features included as well.

The second generation xB (E150) is a different model compared to the second generation bB (QNC20), and was marketed as the Toyota Corolla Rumion in Japan, and as the Toyota Rukus in Australia.
