As for the design, you will love its square and bold silhouette that is very unique and has contributed to its popularity since it was launched in 2009 (a little less than 10 years for the Soul EV).

Available in 2 versions, the Kia Soul electric –no matter the model- has 17- inch wheels. It also has LED headlights and taillights, and heated exterior mirrors.
