Kia Soul EV (2020-2024) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Good to drive	Boot is on the small side
Lots of standard equipment	Being EV-only means it's expensive to buy
Roomy for passengers	High insurance group

Quick Summary

The Kia Soul EV (2020-2024) is the third generation of the Soul and the first to be offered exclusively with an electric powertrain. Aimed at young buyers seeking fashionable styling and electric power, it offers impressive range and equipment levels. The 64kWh Explore model delivers up to 250 miles of real-world range, whilst the 2023 39.2kWh Urban model provides 171 miles. Both variants feature excellent infotainment systems, with sharp 10.25-inch touchscreens (8-inch on Urban), Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and DAB radio. Passengers enjoy extraordinary headroom, though the 315-litre boot is disappointingly compact compared to rivals.

The Soul EV is lovely to drive with smooth, progressive steering and a neutral chassis that instils confidence. Its 0-62mph time of 7.5 seconds demonstrates enthusiastic acceleration, whilst adjustable regenerative braking and four driving modes allow customisation. Real-world efficiency achieves around 4.0 miles per kWh, with DC rapid charging delivering 80% in 45 minutes. Running costs are very low, and as a used buy, it represents excellent value with impressive equipment levels. Servicing is required every 10,000 miles or 12 months, with costs spreadable via Kia's Care scheme.

Best for: Buyers seeking a long-range electric car with excellent equipment, smooth driving dynamics, and impressive value on the second-hand market, particularly those prioritising passenger space and efficiency.

Not ideal for: Those requiring a large boot, buyers on extremely tight budgets, or those seeking the lowest insurance premiums, as the Soul EV falls into insurance group 34.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Soul EV if: You seek a long-range electric car with excellent equipment, smooth driving dynamics, and impressive value on the second-hand market, particularly if you prioritise passenger space and efficiency.

Consider alternatives if: You require a large boot, are on an extremely tight budget, or seek the lowest insurance premiums.

Competitive Position: The Kia Soul EV is a fantastic all-round electric car that represents a bargain on the second-hand market. Whilst the MG ZS EV and Peugeot e-2008 offer slightly better value percentages, the Soul EV excels with superior user ratings, impressive range, and exceptional equipment levels. It outperforms the Volkswagen ID.3 across all metrics. The Soul EV's combination of roomy passenger accommodation, excellent infotainment, and low running costs makes it a compelling choice for buyers seeking a well-equipped, long-range electric vehicle, provided they can accept its smaller boot and higher insurance group.
