Kia crammed a lot of range and tech into its Soul EV
Kia and sister brand Hyundai have already introduced two electrified vehicles in the past year. The Hyundai Kona EV and Kia Niro EV are both great vehicles that belong to the largest automotive growth segment: the small SUV, aka crossover. So it's no surprise that Kia has upgraded the electric Soul with longer range, upgraded tech and a design that looks like it was pulled from The Empire Strikes Back. It should be no surprise to folks who have driven the gas-powered version of this vehicle that the electric edition is also great.
Kia plans to enter US EV market with battery-powered Soul in 2014
The electric vehicle space is one that Kia isn't new to exploring. Here in the US, however, the South Korean auto manufacturer has yet to get its foot in the door. But if all goes according to plan, Kia will soon debut its first EV for the US market in the form of an all-electric model of its Soul line that's scheduled to launch in 2014. As of now, there are no details about what kind of speeds and mile range we can expect out of this urban passenger ride, but Kia's quick to point out we'll be finding out all about that here in the weeks to come. In the meantime, you can take a gander at some leaked images of the purported Soul EV at the Autoblog link below.
