2023 Kia Soul EV Review: Still Weird, Still Wonderful
• Its looks are a love-it-or-hate-it proposition, but there’s no denying this SUV’s practicality.The Kia Soul EV is an all-electric black sheep. Not just for the square look that proudly flaunts its nose at an aerodynamics-obsessed EV world, but also because this practical, personable SUV attracts buyers from 18 to 88, to a degree not common in a highly segmented automotive market.
In the EV version, the front grille is replaced with a solid panel, which not only gives the car a cleaner look but also reduces air resistance, improving its aerodynamics to help overcome that square shape. It rides on unique 17-inch wheels as well.The 2023 Kia Soul EV boasts a spacious and comfortable interior cabin fit for up to five passengers. The seats are comfortable enough and upholstered in decent materials, and the cabin features a number of soft-touch surfaces.
Despite its compact size, the Kia Soul EV offers a surprisingly spacious cargo area. With the rear seats in place, the Soul EV provides 663 litres of cargo space, which is more than enough to accommodate groceries, luggage and whatnot. If you need more space, the rear seats can be folded down to provide up to 1,760 litres of cargo space.The Soul EV features a range of safety features, including forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning and automatic emergency braking.
As mentioned, visibility is very good, and the seating is comfortable enough while not making any pretense to attaining luxury levels.The more-powerful Soul EV has a range of up to 383 km on a full charge, plenty for commuters and even for moderate-distance weekend road trippers. With the Premium version, you get a maximum of 248 km, which is… OK, except that you have to factor in the loss winter temperatures bring, on the order of about 30 percent, so down to 175 km, give or take.
