The all-electric 2017 Soul EV has yet to be officially announced by Kia, but head on over to the US version of their site and you will see it showcased there.
The all electric Soul crossover has an official page complete with pictures and specifications, not to mention color options and the all-important pricing of the new model.
After a little bit of research, we discovered that the same powertrain as before will be in place, which will mean that this model will come equipped with a 27 kWh battery that allows for a 93-mile range on a full charge.
The same electric motor is also in place, delivering 109-hp and a maximum torque output of 285 Nm.
2017 Soul EV – what’s changed?
Starting with the base model of the Soul EV, you will find a new center armrest, as well as a 5-inch color screen that features rear camera display, and a new audio head unit.
The higher trim levels have new dark gray 16-inch wheels, and Cloud White added to the exterior color options.
Charging has been improved, with the fast charge delivering more energy in a shorter time.
It also helps that owners can set the charge times so that the car will be ready to go whenever it is most convenient.
Also included is the second-generation Pedestrian Warning System, which alters the sound and frequency levels based on the speed of the car.
