Kia Soul Leasing

Although the Soul is not over-sized, its quirky exterior styling does impact somewhat on its practicality. The cabin is still spacious though – whether you are seated in the front or the rear, head- and legroom is more than adequate. The driver gets an electrically adjustable seat, so getting comfy won’t be a problem. Storage space is also great, with decently sized door pockets and glovebox.

It’s in the cargo area where things start to unravel. With just 311 litres of space available with the rear seats up, the Soul trails most of its rivals. The Peugeot E-2008 offers far more, and even the mechanically similar – but more conventionally styled – Kia E-Niro and Hyundai Kona can carry more luggage.

The Kia Soul is equipped with a 64kWh battery pack. That’s quite big for this sort of vehicle – and what gives it its class-topping 280 miles of range. Aside from the Kia E-Niro, with which the Soul shares a lot of mechanical components and the same battery pack, rivals like the Peugeot E-2008 offer around 200 miles on a charge. The far pricier Jaguar I-Pace manages just 12 miles more than the Soul on its far bigger 90kWh battery.

Plugging your Kia Soul into a standard 3-pin plug at home will take a rather lengthy 31 hours for a full charge. It’s highly advisable to install a 7kW wallbox charger, which brings that time down to under 10 hours. Out on the road, a 50kW fast charger will get you from 0-80% in an hour and 15 minutes.

Yes. The Kia Soul is a competitive vehicle in its segment and offers excellent range, good performance and decent build quality. It also comes standard with a 7-year warranty, more than most rivals offer.

No. Previous generations of the Kia Soul were offered with petrol engines, but the new Soul is purely an electric car.

The Kia Soul offers plenty of room for 4 adults and their paraphernalia. The boot, however, is smaller than the class average, offering just 311 litres of space with the rear seats up. The mechanically similar Kia E-Niro offers 451 litres, and even the Nissan Leaf hatchback has 435 litres.
