Here’s our very first look at Kia’s attempt to create an all-electric car for the global market based on the second iteration of the boxy-shaped Soul. Spotted in Europe, the EV model comes with some minor changes over the regular Soul, including the reshaped front grille, different headlamp clusters and hood, along, of course, with the absence of a tailpipe.
Bear in mind that this is a test car, so Kia may very well have more updates in store for the production version when it arrives.
It was recently reported, but not confirmed yet from official sources, that the Soul EV will use a more powerful version of the Korean market-only Ray EV’s powertrain offering a driving range of around 200 kilometers (124 miles), a top speed of 140 km/h (87 mph) and a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time of under 12 seconds.
We could see the Soul EV presented as early as next year.
