Overview

The Kia Soul EV Long Range (2020-…) is an all-electric front-wheel drive SUV. It came out in 2020. Brand new, the car starts around €47,450.

The Kia Soul EV Long Range (2020-…) has a 67.5 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 378 km on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 16.9 kWh per 100 km (or 5.91 km per kWh) — ranked №439 out of 820 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 395 Nm of torque.

This enables a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 7.9 seconds (№60 out of 118 ranked positions, among 820 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 167 km/h.

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 378 km, ranking it №179 out of 332 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 Europe 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 38 km 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 our 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: 4195 mm
Width: mm (including side mirrors) or 1800 mm (excluding side mirrors)
Height: 1605 mm
Wheelbase: 2600 mm (distance between the center of the front and rear wheels)
Curb weight: 1758 kg (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 315 litres of storage space (№159 out of 194 ranked positions, among 820 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).

Folding down the rear seats expands the total cargo capacity to 1339 litres (№108 out of 189 ranked positions, among 820 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.
