KIA Soul EV 64kWh First Edition Auto

Add to compare

Kia’s Soul EV was one of the earliest models available in the EV market, offering a range that challenged the likes of Nissan’s Leaf, but in a stylish yet practical crossover shape. Where the Leaf - plus other rivals from BMW, VW, and Renault - have seen new batteries added, significantly improving range, the Soul EV has had to make do with a far smaller battery upgrade. Instead, Kia has focused on electrifying other models in its line-up, with the Optima and Niro ranges getting first a plug-in hybrid option, and in the case of the Niro, an all-electric model too. Now Kia has returned its attention to the Soul, with a second generation Soul EV due for launch, promising a long range and excellent levels of kit. NGC attended the European launch to see what it’s like.
