Overview

The Kia Soul EV Long Range (2020-…) is an all-electric front-wheel drive SUV. It came out in 2020 replacing the older Kia Niro EV Standard Range (2019-2022). The car is not available on the US market.

The Kia Soul EV Long Range (2020-…) has a 67.5 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 235 mi on a single charge — ranked №450 out of 852 electric vehicles.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Kia Soul EV Long Range (2020-…) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 150 kW (201 hp) of power and 291 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 7.6 seconds (№59 out of 118 ranked positions, among 852 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 104 mph.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

The estimated real-world range for Kia Soul EV Long Range (2020-…) is 235 miles, ranking it №133 out of 253 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:

Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Kia Soul EV Long Range (2020-…) in the USA is equipped with a CCS Type 2 charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 7.2 kW, which translates to roughly 24 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Kia Soul EV Long Range (2020-…) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 77 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use EV Charging Calculator.

How big is it? What are the dimensions (length, width, height)?

Kia Soul EV Long Range (2020-…) comes in the following dimensions:

Length: 165.2 in
Width: in (including side mirrors) or 70.9 in (excluding side mirrors)
Height: 63.2 in
Wheelbase: 102.4 in (distance between the center of the front and rear wheels)
Curb weight: 3876 lbs (weight of the empty car, no people or cargo)

How much cargo space does it offer? Does it have a front trunk?

Behind the rear seats of the Kia Soul EV Long Range (2020-…), you'll find 11.1 cubic feet of storage space (№128 out of 155 ranked positions, among 852 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).

Folding down the rear seats expands the total cargo capacity to 47.3 cubic feet (№108 out of 178 ranked positions, among 852 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).

The car doesn’t have a “frunk” (front trunk).

Is it suitable for towing? What is the maximum towing capacity?

The car isn’t officially rated for towing.
