2023 Kia Soul EV Review

kia soul review specs pricing features videos and more

Your eyes do not deceive you, American readers: the Kia Soul EV lives on, you’ve just got to head north to find one.

Over the years, Canada has enjoyed a handful of unique models our southern neighbors have not. The Nissan Micra, the Toyota Echo hatchback (pre-Yaris), the Chevrolet Orlando—an ironic one, that. The third-generation Soul’s all-electric variant was meant for the land of Stars and Stripes too, but complications in early 2020—ahem—had Kia refocus its US EV plan with the one-two punch of the EV6 and latest Niro EV.

We like those two cars well enough. Has Kia oversaturated the market with a trio of cars that are all close to one another in price? Or is Kia US missing an opportunity for a stylish anchor to its EV lineup? We spent a week with the Soul EV to find out.
