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 exclusively electric. Launched with a 64kWh battery and 201bhp motor, a smaller 39.2kWh Urban model was added later, offering a WLTP range of 171 miles. The larger battery Explore model provides an impressive real-world range of up to 250 miles, making it a strong competitor among long-range EVs. Charging is efficient, with an 80% rapid charge taking around 45 minutes.

Despite its distinctive styling, the Soul EV is lovely to drive, offering smooth steering, confident handling, and good performance at higher speeds, complemented by an adjustable regenerative braking system. The interior is logically laid out with an excellent infotainment system, and higher trim levels boast generous equipment. Running costs are low thanks to its efficiency and good value retention, though it falls into a higher insurance group than some conventional family SUVs.

Best for: Drivers seeking a long-range, good-to-drive electric car with generous equipment, those who prioritise passenger space over boot capacity, and buyers looking for good value retention in an EV.

Not ideal for: Buyers who dislike the distinctive styling, those needing a large boot for family practicality, or those sensitive to higher insurance costs for a family SUV.

The Verdict

You should buy the Soul EV if: You're seeking a long-range, good-to-drive electric car with generous equipment, you prioritise passenger space over boot capacity, or you're looking for good value retention in an EV.

Consider alternatives if: You dislike the distinctive styling, you need a large boot for family practicality, or you're sensitive to higher insurance costs for a family SUV.

Competitive Position: The Kia Soul EV (2020-2024) is a strong contender in the electric compact SUV market. It stands out with its impressive real-world range, enjoyable driving dynamics, and generous standard equipment, offering excellent value despite its initial price. While its boot space is smaller than some rivals, and its styling is distinctive, its efficiency and strong value retention make it a highly recommended choice for those seeking a practical and capable EV, especially when compared to rivals like the MG ZS EV or Peugeot e-2008.
