KIA SOUL Electric Lease Deals

The Kia Soul is a sturdy, subcompact SUV that, in its third generation, has gone fully electric. It might look a little boxy – but it’s also determinedly cute and has some impressive range and performance specs. It’s cheeky, eye-catching, and fun to drive.

Key highlights

One of the most immediately obvious highlights of the Soul is the space inside. With ample room for four adults, this car will take your family from toddlers to teenage years without any compromise. There’s a feeling of luxury, too, which is a welcome and perhaps unexpected addition to this affordable electric vehicle.

Looking for safety features? There are plenty, including all those exciting new ones we’re coming to associate with EVs. Automated emergency braking with forward collision warning? Check. Lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist? Check. Adaptive cruise control? Check again. There’s also blind-spot monitoring and a head-up display. All these and more have landed the Soul at the top of multiple Safety Pick lists.

There’s a 201 horsepower electric motor under the bonnet that results in a lively drive. Don’t worry about being slow at the traffic lights in the Soul – you’ll leap off the line.

While range anxiety has put off some people from leasing an electric vehicle in the past, the Soul addresses that issue perfectly. A single charge will take it up to 280 miles, and that means long trips suddenly become really quite doable. And since the average driver in the UK only clocks up about twenty miles a day, you’re looking at only charging up once a fortnight for your everyday needs. Suddenly, everything becomes a little more feasible.

When saving the planet and going electric becomes this easy, the Soul just makes sense. It handles better than many traditional cars, has ample space, and comes in a cute package. What’s not to love?

Performance and range

Worried about being the one who rolls slowly away from the traffic lights? Forget it. The Kia Soul goes from 0-60mph in under 8 seconds. On rapid charge, you’ll be at 80% capacity in less than an hour, and a full charge will give you a range of up to 280 miles.
