Well, that will still depend on some other things like pricing.If we get anything similar to what the concept is, the Kia Soul is knocked off the list immediately for the reason that it'll be no where as capable and versatile as this is. The Renegade in Trailhawk form would be the competitor.
Not early at all when we know for a fact it sits in the same segment, its just a matter of which trims we are comparing. From the looks of it, if you want to keep price as close as possible, it will be a higher trim Soul vs a basemodel TJ for starters.I feel like it's just too early to call the Soul a competitor as it's really just hanging by a thin line to see if it'll be there or not. Renegade has really high chances of it. The Kona that you mentioned, from the looks of it, looks like it'll be right there too. But even though pricing is going to be there, the TJ is going to be one of those niche products that's in the segment, but not really fighting the same battle if you know what I mean
What exactly is making these distant competitors? We don't even have confirmation of what will come to production. Your whole understanding of what's going on here is flawed. What we know for sure is both the TJ and Soul will in fact sit in a segment unique to a few models.Okay set aside price and look at it pound for pound. What are you getting with the TJ Cruiser and what is it capable of versus what you get with the Soul and what that's capable of. Off of that alone, you can tell they're distant competitors yes, but the same people looking at the TJ aren't looking at the Soul as an option.

What HeliDriver said essentially encompasses what I mean.Did I miss something here.
My knowledge of the Soul is almost nonexistent, do they offer it in an all wheel drive off-road model?
If they truly do compete then the Soul will fall clean off the edge of the map. My take on what RoughDay is saying it that Toyota would be offering the TJ as an off-road ready crossover. Something it more closely shares with the Renegade than it does the Soul. I think the ones looking at the Soul would buy the TJ but not the other way around. That being said trying to get a Kia Soul where I know the TJ will go would be a hoot, and we could lay that debate to rest!!
