The 2018 Soul EV, came with a slightly larger battery increasing the range to about 220km in spec, more like 200km in summer and 160km in Winter, it was nicely equipped and a good comfortable ride, and had very good back seat room and ample cargo space. I had the model with the Panoramic Sunroof, 2019 was the last model year for that, I wish they kept the Pano roof option. The Soul EV models to this day have proven very reliable. May 23, 2024
