Heart and Soul
New two-model Kia Soul EV line-up
‘Urban’ and ‘Explore’ specifications give a wider choice
Choice of 39.2kWh ‘medium range’ and 64kWh ‘long
range’ battery options for the first time in the UK
For the first time in the UK, Kia is
offering a “medium range” 39.2kWh
battery pack in the Soul EV ‘Urban’,
with a maximum (WLTP Combined)
range of 171 miles, or up to 252 miles
in a city setting.
It can take just 54 minutes to
recharge the battery pack from
0-80 per cent using an 80kW rapid
charger, while a 7.2kW home charger
will replenish the battery from 0-100
per cent in 6 hours and 10 minutes.
For owners without a dedicated home
charger, a domestic plug socket can
recharge the Soul EV from 0-100 per
cent in 18 hours.
The ‘Urban’ model is mated to a
single-speed automatic transmission
and can achieve a top speed of
97mph, with a 0-62mph acceleration
figure of 9.9 seconds.
The anticipated best-seller in the lineup is the 64kWh ‘Explore’ grade, with
a (WLTP Combined) driving range of
280 miles. An impressive 402 miles
is possible when driven in the city,
making the best use of the Soul EV’s
flexible regenerative braking system.
The Soul EV ‘Explore’ can be
recharged 0-80 per cent in the same
54 minutes as the ‘Urban’ model
using an 80kW rapid charger, despite
the battery being 63 per cent larger.
Plug in the ‘Explore’ at home with a
7.2kW charger and the battery can
be easily replenished overnight from
0-100 per cent in 9 hours and 35
minutes, while a domestic charger will
take 29 hours to recharge 0-100 per
cent.
This grade is powered by a 150kW
(201bhp) electric motor with a
maximum torque of 395Nm, enabling
a top speed of 104mph, going from
0-62mph in just 7.9 seconds.
