Kia Soul EV (2015 - 2019) Reviews, Pricing & Specs

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

The Kia 2015 EV Soul is a decent car. I would have liked to have the ability to do the remote lock, temp setting, and charging activation in the app but due to all the carriers ending service for 3G i cant use it. The car drives well and is roomy. If this is your first experience with EV then its a good car as the gear shift is similar to standard gas car where you dont have to wonder how to drive it.Mar 16, 2022

I really dont care that much about features. Its a fun, fast little car with plenty of storage room for its seemingly small size. I am an A/V contractor and musician so I need to haul equipment but the vast majority of my work is in town. So far, I have only used a public charging station once. The battery was down to a few percent and I wasnt sure I had enough to get home. It took under ten minutes to charge up to 50% and cost $1.50. At home, I have a 220V 40 amp outlet in my garage so thats how I recharge most of the time. It rarely takes more than three hours to charge up to full. The 110V charger that came with the car is another story,;very slow and not very practical, taking the better part of a day to recharge from 40%-50%. My one gripe about the car is it acts like a computer, sometimes requiring pushing the off button and restarting before itll let me go or restarting and turning it off again before I can walk away without it beeping at me. Bonus, the stock stereo is actually fairly good.Dec 22, 2020
