Already an innovative and exciting model, the Kia Soul will be becoming even more so as the automaker has now officially confirmed that the model will be hitting US locations like our own East Petersburg Kia dealership when it is released to the world in 2014.
The new electric version will be purely powered by electricity, and will still include all of the interior fun, and unique exterior styling that drivers have grown to love over past years. Except this time, the model will have absolutely zero emissions, and will save drivers incalculable amounts of money at the gas pump.
Orth Hedrick, Executive Director of Product Planning for Kia Motors America had this to say about the newly developed model, "Eco-consciousness already comes standard on the all-new Soul with 85-percent of its materials able to be recycled at the end of its lifespan, and the Soul EV will further demonstrate Kia's engineering capabilities as well as our commitment to producing vehicles with reduced environmental footprints."
He elaborates, "The Soul has always been a terrific choice for drivers in urban environments, and the all-new version's blend of technology, refinement, style, improved dynamics and value has allowed us to create a car that is as efficient as it is fun to drive."1
Yes indeed, this new model will truly be a game changer. Visit us soon at Lancaster Kia, proudly serving Harrisburg, PA as well. One of our friendly staff members will be happy to fill you in on all the exciting details.
