The All-New Kia Soul EV

Interior

The Soul EV will be offered in one grade, which will be named ‘First Edition’. This grade includes a high level of specification with multiple high-tech features such as a customisable HUD, Wireless Phone Charger & 10.25” Touchscreen Satellite Navigation System with App Connectivity. The ‘First Edition’ will also include a Premium Harman/Kardon® Sound System. This 10 speaker 640W system provides high quality audio for all occupants.

The Soul EV retains the signature ‘tweeter’ speakers which bookend the dashboard, a feature of the previous-generation Soul which exemplified the car’s combination of interesting design and great functionality.

Combined with Telematics, a key enhancement on Soul EV is the widescreen 10.25” Touchscreen Multimedia Display. Various features have been upgraded, integrating an improved “look & feel” with a high resolution screen measuring 244mm width and 91mm height. Additionally, there are new functions such as Split Screen mode, Home Screen Customisation, Bluetooth Multi-Connection or User Profiles.

Exterior

The Soul EV features restyled front and rear bumpers, for a smoother, more aerodynamic appearance. It features a solid insert in place of the conventional Soul’s front grille, with a door housing the charging socket conveniently located on the driver’s side.

The Soul EV’s unique LED headlamps are strikingly integrated into the upper ‘brow’ of the front of the car, which itself extends the full width of the car for a wide, stable appearance. The EV’s ‘face’ is finished with unique fog lamps, while, in profile, the zero-emissions Soul gets its own five-spoke 17-inch alloy wheel design, distinct from other models in the Soul line-up.
