Come next year, Kia's eco-friendly offerings will expand even further as it brings the Soul EV to the U.S. We're quite excited to see this option added to the new Kia lineup, so let's take a look at what we can expect once it arrives at showrooms like Lancaster Kia.
As far as appearance goes, the all-electric vehicle will draw a majority of its design inspiration from the second-generation gasoline-powered Kia Soul. We can expect it will be able to achieve a driving range that tops 120 miles as well, making it an ideal vehicle to drive in busy, congested cities.
Other notable features we have to look forward to include a quiet, comfortable cabin thanks to the removal of engine noise and the addition of a quiet battery operated powertrain. The entire interior will also be outfitted with recycled materials and fabrics, further enhancing the environmentally friendly qualities that the model possesses.
Executive Director of Product Planning for Kia Motors America, Orth Hendrick, comments on the significance of the Soul EV's upcoming release explaining, "The new Soul EV will be at the forefront of Kia's 'Clean Mobility' program, which aims to provide environmentally-friendly vehicles to our customers around the world, when it goes on sale globally next year."1
While we count down the days until the Soul EV's arrival, feel free to visit our Kia dealership conveniently serving the Harrisburg, PA area. We'd be happy to show you around, answer any questions that you may have regarding specs and features, and schedule you for a test drive with vehicle that catches your eye. The lineup is just waiting to be explored, so be sure to come see us soon!
