When the Kia Soul EV hit the market in October 2014, it promised a fresh alternative to the small hatchback electric cars on the market. It offered a slightly larger cabin wrapped in a charming iconoclastic design. More importantly, its 27 kilowatt-hour battery pack provided about a dozen more miles on a charge than what the the Nissan LEAF and Ford Focus Electric deliver. The electric Soul’s EPA rating for range is 93 miles. Nonetheless, Kia Soul EV sales averaged below 100 units a month in 2015, placing it in the back of the plug-in pack —even behind the discontinued Cadillac ELR.
Yet, according to report from UK’s Autocar (http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/kia-soul-facelift-due-2017), Hyundai-Kia is not giving up on the Soul EV. The publication offers this single point about the Soul, which is getting a facelift for 2017: the next EV version will have longer range. More details are not provided.
