The electrically driven version of the new Kia Soul differs from the Soul variants with a conventional drive above all in the front design. The lower air inlet has a flatter shape, and the cooler grill is replaced by a cover plate, behind which the electrical connections are located. The cabin captivates by a bright, driver-friendly interior concept. An 8-inch navigation system provides information on charging stations nearby or the remaining available mileage. Innovative driver zone air conditioning saves electricity when the driver is alone in the car.
Statement by the Jury
With a long range capacity, a simple control concept and high-quality interior design, the Kia Soul EV contributes to the acceptance of the electric car.
