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 excellent equipment levels. The 64kWh Explore model delivers up to 250 miles of real-world range, whilst the 2023 Urban variant with a 39.2kWh battery provides 171 miles. Both models feature a smooth, progressive steering and neutral chassis that instil confidence in town and on country roads alike, with adjustable regenerative braking and four driving modes for customised performance.

The Soul EV is very cheap to run and represents excellent value on the second-hand market, with impressive equipment levels including heated leather seats, head-up display, and a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system on higher trims. Charging takes less than 11 hours from a 7.4kW home wallbox, whilst rapid DC charging delivers 80% charge in 45 minutes. The main drawback is the smaller-than-average boot at 315 litres, and higher insurance group rating. For budget-conscious buyers seeking a practical, well-equipped electric car with genuine range, the Soul EV is a fantastic all-round proposition.

Best for: Buyers seeking an affordable, well-equipped used electric car with impressive range, young drivers attracted to distinctive styling, and those prioritising passenger space and driving enjoyment.

Not ideal for: Those requiring a large boot, buyers concerned about higher insurance costs, or those seeking the lowest possible purchase price among used EVs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Soul EV if: You seek an affordable, well-equipped used electric car with impressive range, appreciate distinctive styling, and prioritise passenger space and driving enjoyment.

Consider alternatives if: You require a large boot, are concerned about higher insurance costs, or seek the lowest possible purchase price among used EVs.

Competitive Position: The Kia Soul EV is a fantastic all-round electric car that stands out in the used EV market. Whilst the MG ZS EV offers slightly better value and the Peugeot e-2008 has more deals available, the Soul EV excels with its superior user ratings, impressive equipment levels, and genuine range. It outperforms the VW ID.3 in user satisfaction and overall rating. For buyers willing to accept a smaller boot in exchange for style, comfort, and driving enjoyment, the Soul EV represents a compelling proposition that rivals struggle to match.
