- www.autobytel.com/kia/soul-ev/... There are now a number of fully electric vehicles on the market, but few can match the cargo room and range of the Kia Soul EV. This mix between a crossover, micro van, and electric car is the perfect example of a relatively affordable ($31,950) EV. The first thing that gives the Soul EV away is the amount of aerodynamic upgrades this car has over the regular gas powered Soul model. The grille and bumper areas have been closed off to maximize air flow since the Soul EV does not need a radiator.
Under the hood is an electric motor that makes 109 horsepower and 210 lb-ft. of torque. Range is an EPA rated best-in-class 93 miles. The MPGe rating is a combined 120 miles. A great feature is that the Soul EV uses the satellite based traffic system to tell you of nearby charging stations.
If you want something with good room that looks and drives like a normal car than the Kia Soul EV is for you.

This will hopefully be my first car that I’ve purchased :))
Did you end up getting one? I may be buying a 2016 tomorrow. Keep me posted...
I brought it as my first car and it's fun to drive it!!
15 min quick charge to 84% Not 30 min. I travel regionally with mine. It is a very comfortable car. Handles well, rides well. It has the sun and fun sun roof option which really makes the car special. I have put 3000 miles on the car in the last 3 months.
Depends on average driving speeds, out side temperatures and other factors. The advertised 94 miles is a good average. But real world tests in CA, at 60 mph on flat freeway, at 60 degrees temp, show that the car goes 100 miles before going to turtle mode. I have seen 106 on the guess o meter gauge in summer in Oregon.
@TEC Man I have a 2018 Soul EV now and there is no loss of range that I am aware of. It has 31000 on it. I sold the 2016 Soul EV in 2018. It was doing well at that time.
Nice, straight to the point info, thanks!!!
You left out a bunch of Electric cars in that class !!
Chevrolet Spark EV
Ford Focus Electric
Smart Fortwo Electric Drive
BMW i3
Mercedes-Benz B class Electric
Mitsubishi i-MiEV
When we buy a Soul EV we keep it at least 10 years and more. Dont you worry about the depreciation.
Hi great video...i have a question...could i bother you please? I have a kia 2016 ev 27 kv...a year ago my range was 106 miles on the dial...after a year its was suddenly goinf down to 96 and now 88 miles. Any idea why?
I'm tryin to find out info on the AC lol our Leaf now takes forever to start blowin cold air😬 out here in Texas it's a must lol and we already had the AC checked...anyone have any insight on it for the KIA?
Would anyone recommend a 2016 with 147000 klm on it ?
Or is that too many ?
When KIA EV will be sold in Indonesia?
0:26 = "You could buy a Tesla ... if you are rich" - LOL!
I will stick with my Volt, and soon to be Model 3 :D
Does it have the new car smell?
Do you care?
Yes...Yes it does
0:43 i see a white cardboard box. lol jokes aside its nice. A to B what else do you need?
93 miles is higher than the 2016 focus electric, smart four2, Chevy spark and most other pure electrics. If you can wait a few months for the Chevy Bolt, that's probably your best bet.
Your demo car, the EV +, has a leather interior.
흰색도 괜찮네
I'd be scared to buy the Fiat due to its reliability history
yah. I own a fiat 500 e. it's been the biggest mistake I've ever made. it is an unreliable pos. has left me stranded many times. it's less than 6 months old. I still love electric cars but this one is a lemon. that's why I'm filing lemon law. after this I'm going with kia. I have owned 4 in the past 6 years and all have been flawlessly reliable.

Good thing Marconi did a good job when he invented the radio, otherwise the world would have been left stranded w/o news or music
@@daniels7862 What kinds of things have gone wrong with the 500e? Were you stranded because you ran out of power or some other reason?
JustWasted3HoursHere wow I almost forgot about this old post. I lemon lawed it in early 2016. No if I ever ran out of charge it would have been my fault not the car. The car would go into limp mode saying motor fault. If I turned it off for about 15 mins sometimes it would work again. A couple times it didn’t and needed a tow. Also charging system went out when I was out and trying to charge. Another tow. Occasionally it would refuse to go into any gear. I’m sure many are happy with their 500e. I got a lemon. When everything worked it was a fun car.
@@daniels7862 Did you buy it new or used? If new, I would think that they'd have to swap you for another one due to lemon laws. But, yeah, it seems this one might have been a "bad egg", as other people I've seen have their's for several years with no issues.
imagine the depreciation of these cars once tesla has the model 3 on the road.
Hahah!! You said this a year ago. And Tesla still has yet to deliver.
Now they have delivered.
@@Coyotedan12 Got mine this year 2016 it was $15,000 and I love it. Thank goodness for depreciation. Brand new battery high voltage+ 12-volt battery to. Thanks to Kia's hundred thousand mile replacement plan. Perfect for me I never leave out of town.
1/3 of the time it will be on the charger. I do 100,000 miles a year. Check out my logo.
Since you didn't talk about the 2016 Nissan Leaf...let me just say it's been around longer and has a better driving range than the Kia. I think the dependability is there with Nissan. I would put my $ on the Leaf anyday over the others you mentioned. I think your presentation is biased since you didn't mention the complete range of competition.
The Soul is much better than the Bolt.
Got a brand new battery pack and I love.
Why should I buy a kia soul ev, when the nissan leaf is 1/3 the price?
What are you going on about?
wtf? leaf is more expensive. stupid or what?
The Leaf does poorly on the small overlap crash test
The current gen Leaf looks like a Frog. The range on this is pathetic. Once these come off lease the resale is going to be nearly as bad as the Leaf. AKA don't buy a new one.
"Range anxiety." 🥴🙋🏽♀️
Isn't real leather....organic?
Doctoberfest598 no because it needs animal skin which is...yeah
Animal skin is terrible for the environment.
The one they were demonstrating, the Plus, has an actual leather interior.
...Hybrid version? *hunts the internet*
There is no Hybrid version....only EV and Gas Powered
$35K? Lol who the hell would buy this?
Austin Nwachukwu I'll wait for model 498 it will never need to be charged it will be out in 2155.
You think 95 miles is unusable?
Must be an American
93 mioe gíd enoiugh snall towbs
The tesla model 3 is the exact same price, WAY nicer and has a real, usable range. 93 miles is pathetic
I paid 15000 used
93 miles. I'm sorry that's too short of a distance for that kind of money
REPENTNOWANDTRUSTJESUSCHRISTOURLORDANDSAVIORPLEASE🥰
uglyiest car of kia! what is that closed grill? that wheel cover?? o my God!
this thing has garbage range, get one if you want constant range anxiety
Oh come on dude- electric cars are no better for the environment. Not yet at least- they are tech- and they are cool- but they are not green.
